BACKGROUND Permanent fatty acid translocase (FAT/)CD36 relocation has previously been shown to be related to abnormal lipid accumulation in the skeletal muscle of type 2 diabetic patients, however mechanisms responsible for the regulation of FAT/CD36 expression and localization are not well characterized in human skeletal muscle. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Primary muscle cells derived fro...

This study examined the effects of increasing energy availability from both dextrose and lipid treatments on the pro-inflammatory response to LPS in Holstein steers. Steers were randomly assigned to one of three groups: saline at 0.5 ml/kg body weight (Control) or 50% dextrose [0.5 ml/kg body weight (Dextrose) to mimic calm cattle's response to LPS] administered immediately prior to LPS (0.5 µg...

background: concerns have been raised about the possibility of a predisposition of kawasaki disease (kd) to abnormal lipid profile after an acute phase of disease, which can predispose them to premature atherosclerosis later in life. we determined the lipid profile of children late after kd, and compared it with controls. methods: this historical cohort was conducted on 32 subjects: 16 children...

Hepatic stellate cells store the majority of the liver's retinoid (vitamin A) reserves as retinyl esters in stellate cell lipid droplets. A study was conducted to explore the effects of differences in dietary retinoid and triglyceride intake on the composition of the stellate cell lipid droplets. Weanling rats were placed on one of five diets that differed in retinoid or triglyceride contents. ...

The aim of the research was to comparative study effectiveness synthetic antioxidants – lipid-soluble (butylated hydroxytoluene, BHT) and water–soluble (trolox) analogues vitamin E for cryopreservation Russian sturgeon sterlet sperm in presence modified Stein’s medium. ability phenolic reduce level lipid peroxidation sperm, beneficial effect on motility thawed has been shown. addition lipid- wa...

effects of pongamia pinnata, an indigenous plant used in ayurvedic medicine in india on the temporal variations of circulatory lipid peroxidation products and antioxidants in ammonium chloride-(ac)-induced hyperammonemic rats has been studied. experimental rats were divided into control, ac-treated, those treated with ac + ethanolic leaf extract of p. pinnata (ppet), and ppet-treated. the chara...

When Euglena gracilis was grown under white (fluorescent) light in media containing high concentrations of ammonium chloride (more than 0.005%), the main lipids synthesized were monogalactosyl diglyceride, digalactosyl diglyceride, phosphatidyl glycerol, sulfolipid and the all eis 47,10-16:2, 47,10,13-16:3, Zl4,7,10,13-16:4, A9,12-18:2 and A9,12,15-18:3 fatty acids. At low levels of ammonium (l...
