We conducted this study to determine the fatty acid composition of breastmilk of Israeli women and compare it with baby milk substitutes. Samples of mature breast milk, from 29 lactating Israeli Jewish mothers were collected during feedings. Total milk lipids extracts were transmethylated and analyzed by using an improved gas-chromatographic method. About 72% of the total fatty acids in the inv...

Background: For understanding the roles of fatty acids on the induction of acrosome reaction which occurs under association of cholesterol efflux and PKA or PKC pathways in boar spermatozoa, metabolic fate of alone and combined radiolabeled 14C-oleic acid and 3H-linoleic acid incorporated in the sperm was compared, and behavior of cholesterol and effects of PKA and PKC inhibitors upon fatty aci...

Intravenous injections of various fatty acids in rabbits caused marked thrombopenia lasting 1-2 hr. The most active saturated fatty acids were myristic acid (14:O) and lauric acid (12: 0). Activity decreased with increasing and decreasing chain length, but behenic acid (22 : 0) had, on a molar basis, activity similar to that of lauric acid. Of the unsaturated fatty acids, oleic acid (18: 1) was...

in order to study the variation of fatty acids and protein content of soybean seeds and correlated morphological and phenological traits by canonical correlation analysis, 25 genotypes were evaluated with latis square design in baieakola agricultural research station of mazandaran agricultural research center in 2001. a number of 20 agronomic and eight quality traits were measured. the variatio...

Fatty acid elongase 1 (FAE1) and delta-12 fatty desaturase 2 (FAD2) are two key enzymes in plant biosynthesis pathway. Five different types of transgenic lines with identical genetic background were developed by single double-expression regulation the genes coding for these same  Brassica napus  variety CY2. Seeds five wild-type control, which planted under same environmental conditio...

sesame is one of the most important oil crops in iran. high oil seed content makes it difficult to store for a long period of time. this study was conducted in 2012 to evaluate possible physiological and biochemical changes in seed under different storage conditions. various seed moisture content (5, 9, 13, and 17%) were evaluated under five temperatures (5, 15, 25, 35, 45) for six month. germi...

Chemical composition and sensory analysis of olive oil samples extracted from different cultivars grown in the North-West Saudi Arabia was conducted to evaluate quality oil. Organoleptic shows Jordan variety with high fruity, low bitter, light pungent flavor, tasting like sweet oil; Picual strong fruitiness, typical organoleptic character. Coratina level astringent flavor very oxidation stabili...

The labeling kinetics of the fatty acids of phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), monogalactosyldiglyceride (MGDG), and digalactosyldiglyceride (DGDG) were examined after (14)CO(2) feeding and incubation of leaf discs of Vicia faba over 72 hours in continuous light. The results indicate a rapid accumulation and turnover of radioactivity into PC and PG fatty acids (oleic acid in P...

In order to determine exactly the effect on the nervous system of concentration of dietary oleic acid on the fatty acid composition of different part of the nervous system, triglycerides were synthesized using chemical and enzymological methods. The dose-effect was determined using an experimental protocol with seven groups of rats who received a diet in which the oleic acid level varied from 0...

The fatty acid composition of Melissa officinalis growing in the Middle Urals was studied by gas chromatography. Comparison and content acids depending on time collection, part plant storage method carried out. It has been established that contains myristic (14:0), palmitoleic (16:1), palmitic (16:0), linoleic (18:2), linolenic (18:3), oleic (18:1), stearic ( 18:0), arachidic (20:0), behenic (2...
