BACKGROUND Alongside flour, fat is the key ingredient of sponge cakes, including those with long shelf lives. It is an unstable food component, whose quality and nutritional safety depend on the composition and pres- ence of oxidation products. Consumption of fat oxidation products adversely affects the human body and contributes to the incidence of a number of medical conditions. Qualitative c...

Oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) is a key process in atherogenesis, and vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol, TOH) has received attention for its potential to attenuate the disease. Despite this, the type and extent of TOH oxidation and its relationship to lipid oxidation in the vessel wall where lesions develop remain unknown. Therefore, we measured oxidized lipids, TOH, and its oxidation pr...

This paper aims to review the available literature data and provide an overview regarding the efficiency of antioxidants to prevent peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Lipid peroxidation is a serious problem that often leads to a loss of shelf-life, reduced consumer acceptability, poorer functionality, lower nutritional value, and poorer safety. It represents an oxidative degradation of ...

coenzyme q10, a lipid soluble benzoquinone, has excellent antioxidant and membrane stabilizing properties in the cardiac tissue. the present study investigated the effects of coenzyme q10 on in vitro ldl oxidation quantitavely. the formation of conjugated dienes, malondialdehyde (mda) and electrophoretic mobility were monitored as markers of the oxidation of ldl, respectively. coenzyme q₁₀ show...

diseases of heart and stroke cause most deaths in both sexes of all ethnic groups. for more than 40 years epidemiological studies, experimental studies, and clinical trials have shown that numerous dietary risk factors affect serum lipids, atherogenesis and coronary heart disease (chd). substantial interest has recently focused on the hypothesis that the naturally occurring antioxidant vitamins...

an efficient synthetic method for successful synthesis of amine denderon on sba-15 and related pd (ii) complex has been developed. this modified mesoporous material was characterized by various techniques such as tem, xrd, atomic absorption spectroscopy, n2 adsorption-desorption, and ft-ir. the catalytic activities of the prepared catalysts were investigated by employing aerobic oxidation of al...

New atherosclerosis causative factors and preventive modalities have been identified. Atherogenic factors include lipid oxidation products, such as cholesterol oxidation products, malonaldehyde and other aldehydes; trans-fatty acids; some saturated fatty acids (lauric, myristic and possibly palmitic acids); and myristic acid plus cholesterol. Lipid oxidation products are well suited to induce a...
