Selective inhibition of bacterial enzymes by free fatty acids.

Inhibition of Thermophilic Anaerobic Digestion of Waste Food by Long Chain Fatty Acids and Propionate

Design and synthesis of new esters of terpenoid alcohols as 15-lipoxygenase inhibitors

Objective(s): 15-Lipoxygenases are one of the iron-containing proteins capable of performing peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in animals and plants. The critical role of enzymes in the formation of inflammations, sensitivities, and some cancers has been demonstrated in mammals. The importance of enzymes has led to the development of mechanistic studies, product analysis, and synthesis of ...

The Effects of Simvastatin on Free Fatty Acids Profile in Fructose-fed Insulin Resistant Rats

Backgrounds: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disease and free fatty acids, as signaling molecules, can play a crucial role in the development of it. Different free fatty acids, through various cell membrane receptors, induce different effects on metabolic pathways and thereby affect insulin sensitivity. Simvastatin is a cholesterol decreasing drug prescrib...

Inhibition of gluconeogenic enzymes by free fatty acids and palmitoyl coenzyme A.

The effects of free fatty acids on rat liver phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykiuase (EC 4.1.1.32), pyruvate carboxylase (EC 6.4.1. I), and glucose 6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.9) were determined to evaluate the suggestion that free fatty acid inhibition of key glycolytic enzymes constitutes a specific inhibitory effect. Activities of ah of these gluconeogenie enzymes were found to be markedly inhibited b...

Inhibition of fatty acids profile changes of Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) fillets during frozen storage by packaging under vacuum system

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of vacuum packing (VP) on the fatty acids profiles in cobia (Rachycentron canadum) fillets during an extended frozen storage period. Cobia fillets were treated under vacuum system then stored at -18°C for up to 6 months and compared to control conditions. As a result of a frozen storage period of 6 months, a marked content decrease was found in the...
