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,...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Accumulating evidence has suggested that free fatty acids (FFAs) interact with protein kinases and protein phosphatases. The present study examined the effect of FFAs on protein phosphatases and Akt. METHODS Activities of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1), protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), and protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) were assayed under the cell-free conditions. Phosphor...

Fatty acids are found in the structure of triglycerides and phospholipids which have vital importance for life. Stearic acid is an important member fatty acids. It used manufacturing various products such as soaps, detergents, rubbers. valuable to provide a thermal optical characterization database stearic acid. In this study, comprehensive has been prepared by studying thermogravimetric analys...

PURPOSE The first-line chemotherapy treatment protocol for gastric cancer is combination chemotherapy of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and cisplatin (CDDP). The aim of this study was to engineer prodrug-based nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) platform for codelivery of 5-FU and CDDP to enhance therapy and decrease toxicity. METHODS First, 5-FU-stearic acid lipid conjugate was synthesized by two ste...

Eight titanium complex greases (i.e., benzoic acid/stearic acid and sebacic acid/stearic acid titanium complex greases, and greases containing PTFE, or nanotitanium dioxide, or nano-silicon dioxide) were synthesized using 3-L reaction vessel. Their physical characteristics were characterized and their tribological properties were evaluated by using a four-ball tester. Chemical compositions of t...

A new method is described for the determination of brain gangliosides by measuring stearic acid, the chief acid of gangliosides, in an appropriately purified brain extract. The method includes extraction of tissue with chloroform-methanol, extraction of gangliosides from the extract with 0.1 M KCl, evaporation of the aqueous phase, methanolysis, and gas-liquid chromatography of the resultant me...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of stearic acid-, oleic acid- and linoleic acid-rich meals on postprandial haemostasis in young healthy volunteers whose background diets had been controlled for 14 d in a residential study. Six healthy male volunteers were assigned randomly to consume diets rich in stearic acid, oleic acid or linoleic acid for 14 d. On day 15, plasma ...

BACKGROUND Plasmodium falciparum parasitization of erythrocytes causes a substantial increase in the levels of intracellular fatty acids, notably oleic acid. How parasites acquire this monounsaturated fatty acid has remained enigmatic. Here, we report on the biochemical and enzymatic characterization of stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) in P. falciparum. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Metabolic l...

Background: The Gundilia tournefortii leaf contains the chemical compound such as saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acid includes stearic and palmitic acid and unsaturated include linoleic and oleic acid, that, these compounds inhibit 5 reductase enzyme. The present study was carried out with the aim of determining the effect of Gundilia tournefortii leaf on spermatogenesis...
