The cftr knockout mouse model of cystic fibrosis (CF) shows intestinal obstruction; malabsorption and inflammation; and a fatty acid imbalance in intestinal mucosa. We performed a lipid mapping of colon sections from CF and control (WT) mice by cluster time of flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) imaging to localize lipid alterations. Data were processed either manually or by multi...

The aim of this study was to provide information on the fatty acid profile of different adipose depots – subcutaneous (upper and inner backfat layers) and intramuscular (m. Longissimus dorsi) in East Balkan pigs. The animals were reared in free-range conditions and slaughtered at an average live weight of 107±1.65kg. The results of the study showed that the various adipose tissues in pigs have ...

The effect of different solvents and pollutants on the cellular fatty acid composition of three bacterial strains: Thauera aromatica, Geobacter sulfurreducens and Desulfococcus multivorans, representatives of diverse predominant anaerobic metabolisms was investigated. As the prevailing adaptive mechanism in cells of T. aromatica and G. sulfurreducens whose cellular fatty acids patterns were dom...

(-)-Epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG) has useful antiviral, antimicrobial, antitoxin, and antitumor properties. Previously, Mori et al. (2008) found that addition of long acyl chains (C16-18) to EGCG enhanced its anti-influenza virus activity up to 44-fold. The chemical stability of EGCG against oxidative degradation was also enhanced by acylation. We further evaluated the in vitro activity s...

Abstract Background The research was carried out to assess the lipid characteristics of oil extracted from head and gills Claris macrocephalus Scomber scombrus. Results results confirmed presence C16:0, C18:0, C18:1, C18:2, C18:3, C22:6 as major fatty acids. Titus fish (TFHD) had a total saturated acid (TSFA) 40.804 ± 0.002% which C16:0 C18:0 were most dominant acids present while monounsaturat...

Bu araştırma, bazı aspir çeşitlerinin sulu ve kuru koşullarda yağ asidi kompozisyonunu belirlemek amacıyla 2019-2020, 2020-2021 yılları yetiştirme sezonlarında yürütülmüştür. Çalışma, Harran Üniversitesi Ziraat Fakültesi Tarla Bitkileri Bölümü deneme alanında tesadüf bloklarında bölünmüş parseller desenine göre üç tekerrürlü olarak kurulmuştur. Araştırmada, ana parselleri sulu-kuru, alt ise çeş...

Nod factors excreted by rhizobia are signal molecules that consist of a chitin oligomer backbone linked with a fatty acid at the nonreducing end. Modifications of the Nod factor structures influence their stability in the rhizosphere and their biological activity. To test the function of N-acetyl groups in Nod factors, NodSm-IV(C16:2,S) from Sinorhizobium meliloti was enzymatically N-deacetylat...

BACKGROUND To screen biomarkers to differentiate early-stage colorectal cancer (CRC) from benign colorectal disease (BCD) and healthy controls. MATERIALS & METHODS Quantitative and qualitative analysis of C16:1, C18:3, C18:2, C18:1, C20:4, and C22:6 in 185 healthy controls, 55 patients with BCD, and 139 patients with CRC was performed. Comparisons of their levels in between CRC patients, BCD ...
