Fluorescence Study of the Prooxidant Activity of Free Fatty Acids on Marine Lipids
نویسنده
چکیده
The free fatty acids (FFA) effect on the oxidative stability of marine lipids was studied by fluorescence assessment. Under different reaction conditions including time, temperature, FFA content and types (different chain length and unsaturation degree), FFA were made to interact in model systems with a commercial marine oil (cod liver oil) and two different fish (hake and pout) white muscles. Fluorescence assessment showed a prooxidant effect of all kinds of FFA, that increased with time, temperature and FFA content in the reaction mixtures. At 30oC, a higher degree of oxidation was obtained in systems including the shorter chain length fatty acids (lauric and myristic) compared to systems including the longest ones (arachidic and stearic); at the same temperature, an increasing prooxidant effect was also observed with increasing degree of the fatty acid unsaturation (stearic < oleic < linoleic < linolenic). When a lower temperature (-10oC) was tested, a differential prooxidant effect among fatty acids (chain length and unsaturation degree) was not observed. Running Title: Prooxidant activity of free fatty acids

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...

متن کاملRole of Endogenous and Exogenous Tocopherols in the Lipid Stability of Marine Oil Systems: A Review
In marine organisms primarily intended for human consumption, the quality of the muscle and the extracted oils may be affected by lipid oxidation during storage, even at low temperatures. This has led to a search for alternatives to maintain quality. In this sense, antioxidant compounds have been used to prevent such lipid deterioration. Among the most used compounds are tocopherols, which, due...
