Quantitative extraction and determination of nonesterified fatty acids in plasma

Quantitative extraction and determination of nonesterified fatty acids in plasma.

A method is described for the determination of nonesterified fatty acids in plasma. Extraction is at least 98% efficient, and losses during subsequent stages are corrected for by the use of an internal radioactive standard. The method is suitable for reference purposes rather than for routine determinations. Higher values are obtained than by other methods of analysis, and it is suggested that ...

Plasma Nonesterified Fatty Acids in the Dahl Rat

The link between dietary salt intake and the development of hypertension in the saltsensitive Dahl strain of rats remains elusive. There is evidence that Dahl salt-sensitive rats (DS) produce less vasodilator and natriuretic prostaglandins in response to salt loading than do control saltresistant rats (DR), although the reason for this blunted response is unknown. We examined the effects of chr...

Plasma Fatty Acid–Binding Protein 4, Nonesterified Fatty Acids, and Incident Diabetes in Older Adults

OBJECTIVE To examine the relation of fatty acid-binding protein (FABP)4 and nonesterified fatty acids (NEFAs) to diabetes in older adults. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We ascertained incident diabetes among 3,740 Cardiovascular Health Study participants (1992-2007) based on the use of hypoglycemic medications, fasting glucose ≥ 126 mg/dL, or nonfasting glucose ≥ 200 mg/dL. FABP4 and NEFA were ...

Determination of Tocopherols and Fatty Acids in Seeds of

  Background: The dried fruits of Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn (Compositae) contain silymarin, an isomeric mixture of flavonolignans. Silymarin acts as a strong anti -hepatotoxic. This fruits contains a high amount of oil .  Objective: The objective of this study was to determine total lipid content, fatty acid composition and content of different kind of tocopherols in seed oils of S. marianum...
