چکیده

Fatty acid synthetase was isolated from transplantable mammary adenocarcinomas carried by C3H mice. Comparison of physicochemical and immunological properties of this enzyme with those of the fatty acid synthetase isolated from normal glands of lactating C3H mice indicates that the enzymes are similar in all respects. The products of the purified fatty acid synthetase from normal and neoplastic tissues were the same, mainly long-chain fatty acids. The normal gland was found to contain 30 times more enzymes per g tissue than did the neoplasm; this may account in part for the relatively low rat of fatty acid synthetase found previously in this neoplasm.

Detection of Mouse Cytomegalovirus in Adenocarcinoma Bearing Razi/A Mice: Molecular and Pathological Studies

Despite a lot of research, the etiology and progression of breast cancer remain incompletely understood. Recently, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) was reported as a risk factor for breast cancer. The aim of this study was to know whether breast cancer could be caused by cytomegalovirus or not? In this experiment seventeen samples of RAZI/A mice with spontaneous breast cancer were being gathered fr...

Medium-chain fatty acid synthesis.

Most plant and mammalian tissue lipids contain fatty acids with a carbon chain longer than 14 atoms. However, milk lipids from several species like ruminants and rodents (Jenness, 1974), seed lipids from certain plants like coconuts (Child, 1974) and Cuphea (Graham & Kleiman, 1985) and lipids from several insects (AddaeMensah & Cameron, 1978) and from some bird glands (Downing, 1976; Jacob, 197...

Fatty acid synthase from lactating rat mammary gland.

Homogeneous preparations of fatty acid synthetase from mammary glands of lactating rats were used to prepare an antiserum and a y-globulin fraction was isolated from the antiserum. The antiserum and the y-globulin fraction were shown to be specific against the fatty acid synthetase multienzyme complex. Addition of the y-globulin to homogenate fractions of lactating rat mammary glsnds, resulted ...
