The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) activation by clofibrate on both mitochondrial and peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation in the developing kidney. Ten newborn pigs from 5 litters were randomly assigned to two groups and fed either 5 mL of a control vehicle (2% Tween 80) or a vehicle containing clofibrate (75 mg/kg body w...

Upon inoculation with pathogenic microbes, plants induce an array of metabolic changes that potentially contribute to induced resistance or even enhance susceptibility. When analysing leaf lipid composition during the Arabidopsis thaliana-Pseudomonas syringae interaction, we found that accumulation of the phytosterol stigmasterol is a significant plant metabolic process that occurs upon bacteri...

In this study we investigated the interaction behavior between thirteen different small peptides and a hydrophobic surface using three progressively more complex methods of representing solvation effects: a united-atom implicit solvation method [CHARMM 19 force field (C19) with Analytical Continuum Electrostatics (ACE)], an all-atom implicit solvation method (C22 with GBMV), and an all-atom exp...

Fifteen fertile rams (live weight 55.9 ± 1.21 kg, and 2.5-3 years old) were randomly allotted to three diets consisting of 0 (Control), 12.5 (PBP-12.5), and 25 % (PBP-25.5) pistachio by-products (PBP) in dry matter. Sperm motility parameters were detrimentally affected in animals feeding on PBP-25% diet (P<0.05). Sperm concentration of C17-1, C22-6-n-3, C18-2-Cis and C22-6 n-3 fatty acids decre...

We have demonstrated the increased C26:0/C22:0 ratio in the fatty acids of sphingolipid fraction in dried blood spots on filter paper from the patient with adrenoleukodystrophy. The ratio of C26:0/C22:0 in the dried blood spots from the patient was 2.1-fold higher than those of the normal controls. This value was almost the same as the ratio in erythrocyte membrane sphingomyelin from the patien...

Bu çalışma, beç tavuklarında yetiştirme sistemi ve kesim yaşının etin kimyasal kompozisyonu, yağ asitleri profili asitlerinden oluşturulan indeks değerler üzerine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Çalışmanın materyalini serbest gezinmeli kapalı sistemde 14, 16 18 hafta yetiştirilmiş (erkek dişi karışık) tavuklarından elde edilen derisiz göğüs but eti örnekleri oluşturmaktadır. Yetişti...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of sex and slaughter age of chickens on fatty acid composition and TBC1D1 gene expression in 4 different tissues: breast muscle, thigh muscle, abdominal fat, and subcutaneous fat. Sixty Erlang mountainous chickens (hybrid SD02 x SD03) were raised under the same conditions and slaughtered at 8, 10, and 13 weeks of age. The results showed...
