Oxidized derivatives of linoleic acid have the potential to alter steroidogenesis. One such derivative is 12,13-epoxy-9- keto-10-(trans)-octadecenoic acid (EKODE). To evaluate the effect of EKODE on corticosterone production, dispersed rat zona fasciculata/reticularis (subcapsular) cells were incubated for 2 h with EKODE alone or together with rat ACTH (0, 0.2, or 2.0 ng/ml). In the absence of ...

The positional isomers of the cyclopropane fatty acids of Clostridium butyricum phospholipids have been analyzed by capillary column gas-liquid chromatography. Greater than 95% of the methylenehexadecanoic acids was the 9 , l O isomer. On the other hand, 6G70yO of the hexadecenoic acid precursors was the A7 isomer, and the remainder was the A9 isomer. Of the methyleneoctadecanoic acids 75580% w...

The occurrence of cis-vaccenic acid (cis-11-octadecenoic acid) in animal tissues was first reported by Morton and Todd (l), who were able to isolate this acid from horse brain lipids. The extent to which this acid was present in brain was estimated to be about 0.025% wet weight and was thought to be a minor constituent of horse brain fatty acids. The trans isomer, however, was isolated earlier ...

Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) is a unique plant that combines the properties of spice, colorant, cosmetic, and drug. As medicinal plant, it used by traditional healers in treatment ailments such as diabetic wounds, rheumatism arthritis, multiple sclerosis etc. This study was carried out to determine presence potential bioactive compounds present longa leaves. The were extracted using Soxhlet method ...

The seeds of the almond tree [(Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D. A. Webb. (syn. Prunus amygdalus)] were collected in two different periods of maturity and were studied for their lipid content. The total lipids (TL) were extracted by the Bligh-Dyer method and the lipid classes have been isolated by chromatographic techniques and were analyzed by HPTLC coupled with a flame ionization detector (HPTLC/FID) ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of sex and slaughter age of chickens on fatty acid composition and TBC1D1 gene expression in 4 different tissues: breast muscle, thigh muscle, abdominal fat, and subcutaneous fat. Sixty Erlang mountainous chickens (hybrid SD02 x SD03) were raised under the same conditions and slaughtered at 8, 10, and 13 weeks of age. The results showed...
