The oxidation rates for pahnitic, stearic, oleic, and linoleic acids as their albumin complexes and for caprylic, butyric, and acetic acid as their potassium salts with isolated rat liver mitochondria were studied in a system where it had previously been demonstrated that the respiratory chain and the coupling of phosphorylation to oxidation is intact even at high concentrations of long chain f...

Phenolic compounds, including propyl gallate, 1-o-galloylglycerol, ferulic, gallic, caffeic, rosmarinic, and carnosic acids, tocopherols, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), were investigated as antioxidants to improve the oxidative stability of a structured lipid (SL) produced by enzymatic acidolysis menhaden oil with caprylic stearic acids. SL had similar physical properties butterfat but was mor...

Sun X, Zhou D, Zhang P, Moczydlowski EG, Haddad GG. -Subunit–dependent modulation of hSlo BK current by arachidonic acid. J Neurophysiol 97: 62–69, 2007. First published October 4, 2006; doi:10.1152/jn.00700.2006. In this study, we examined the effect of arachidonic acid (AA) on the BK -subunit with or without -subunits expressed in Xenopus oocytes. In excised patches, AA potentiated the hSlocu...

Adipogenesis is very much important in improving the quality of meat in animals. The aim of the present study was to investigate the in vitro and in vivo adipogenesis regulation properties of Lolium multiflorum on 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes and mice. Chemical composition of petroleum ether extract of L. multiflorum (PET-LM) confirmed the presence of fatty acids, such as α-linolenic acid, docosahexae...

Long-chain fatty acid uptake, which provides a large part of myocardial energy, is impaired in human and murine hearts deficient in the membrane fatty acid translocase, FAT/CD36. We examined myocardial function in CD36-null mice using the working heart. Fatty acid oxidation and stores of glycogen, triglycerides, and ATP were reduced in CD36-deficient hearts and were restored to WT levels by res...

Medium chain carboxylic acids (MCCAs, e.g., caproic acid, caprylic etc.) with 6–12 carbon atoms are valuable platform chemicals produced from organic waste via microbial elongation metabolism named as reversed β-oxidation and fatty acid-biosynthesis cyclical pathway. Recently, many articles reported that electricity could not only serve the external electron donor provide reduction equivalent r...
