Monounsaturated fatty acids and their oxidation products were quantified in surficial sediments (0–1 cm) dominated by sympagic (ice-associated) material released at the end of ice melt collected summer central eastern Baffin Bay during 2016 GreenEdge campaign. Sympagic algae preservation towards bacterial mineralization was monitored based on intact oxidized C16:1ω7 (palmitoleic) acid, C18:1ω7 ...

Background Previous studies have showed that the lipokine palmitoleic acid (or palmitoleate) reduces diet induced muscle and liver inflammation and insulin resistance [1] and increases adipose tissue lipolysis, the latter through a mechanism that depends on PPAR-a [2]. Here we tested whether palmitoleate protects from the deleterious effects of a high fat diet (HFD) on glucose homeostasis and l...

178 yeasts isolated from various foods were identified using ID32 C strip; Saccharomyces cerevisiae (47), Rhodotorula mucilaginosa (19), Candida kefyr (33), Candida krusei (37), Candida lusitaniae (28), Cndida lipolytica (14). The yeasts were harvested, saponified, derivatized, and extracted, and fatty acid analysis was performed by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry. The yeast lipids contain...

The growing demands of consumers for edible seed oils containing high unsaturated fatty acid and antioxidant content have resulted in considerable efforts to investigate plants as possible sources of oils and nuts. In this research, the amount of fatty acid compositions, total flavonoid, phenol and antioxidant properties of Pistacia atlantica and Pistacia khinjuk were evaluated. The kernel oil ...

This study was conducted to determine how the intensity of cluster drop effects nut traits, bioactive compounds, and fatty acid composition in Tombul, Palaz Kal?nkara hazelnut cultivars. The significantly affected compounds while it did not affect traits nuts. As increased, all cultivars increased. Strong determined highest total phenolics, flavonoids, antioxidant activity. Except for cultivar,...

Ethanol causes pancreatic damage by an unknown mechanism. Previously, we demonstrated that a sustained rise of the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) causes pancreatic acinar cell injury. Here we have investigated the effects of ethanol and its metabolites on Ca(2+) signaling in pancreatic acinar cells. Most cells exposed to ethanol (up to 850 mM) showed little or no increase in [Ca(2...

serum total fatty acids were estimated in controls and women using the oral contraceptives eugynon (containing 0.5 mg.of norgestron and 0.05 mg ethinyl oestradiol) and lyndiol (containing 2.5 mg. of linostrol and 0.05 mg of ethiny oestradiol) for periods ranging from 8 to 110 weeks. the serum total fatty acids level was found to be approximately 70% higher in the women using oral contraceptives...
