the study was aimed to investigate the change of some fatty acids to ambient air pollution in four legumes species Pisum sativum L. and (Vicia faba L.m and during summer season were Glycine max and Vigna sinensis grown in five sites mostly affected by high traffic intensity and or industrial activities in Riyadh city capital of Saudi Arabia. The results showed increasing of air pollution (O3, N...

The aim of this study was to investigate the chemical characteristics of seeds in two cultivated bitter landraces of Lupinus albus and two wild Lupinus angustifolius types in Mediterranean environment (Hatay, southern Turkey). Fat quantity and fatty acid quality were considerably different depending on the genotype. L. albus showed the higher oil content (74.0-85.1 g/kg), saturated fatty acids ...

BACKGROUND In cell systems, saturated fatty acids, compared to unsaturated fatty acids, induce a greater degree of ER stress and inflammatory signaling in a number of cell types, including hepatocytes and adipocytes. The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of infusions of lard oil (enriched in saturated fatty acids) and soybean oil (enriched in unsaturated fatty acids) on live...

To determine the effects of dietary fat saturation on plasma lipoproteins, we studied 21 free-living normolipidemic women (13 pre- and 8 postmenopausal) on three consecutive diet periods. During the first 4 wk they consumed a saturated diet rich in palm oil and butter [19% saturated fatty acids (S), 14% monounsaturated fatty acids (M), and 3.5% polyunsaturated fatty acids (P)], followed by 6 wk...

Crifhidia fasciculata, Crifhidia oncopelti, Crifhidia luciliae, Crithidia sp. from Arilus crisfafus, Crifhidia acanthocephali, Blastocrifhidia culicis, Leishmania tarenfolae, and Lepfomonas Zepfoglossi were grown under axenic conditions in chemically defined media, and their fatty acids were determined. Palmitic, stearic, and a Cl9 cyclopropane acid were the major saturated fatty acids. Oleic, ...

The aim of the investigation was to determine the changes in fatty acids profile and chemical quality indexes of Red Tilapia fillets during frozen storage at -18°C. The fish were filleted by hand. The prepared fillets were then placed to the polyamide pouches and stored at -18°C for 150 days. Fatty acid profile, sensory properties and chemical quality indices were determined for a five month pe...

BACKGROUND Dairy food is an important natural source of saturated and trans fatty acids in the human diet. This study evaluates the effect of dietary advice to change dairy food intake on plasma fatty acid levels known to be present in milk in healthy volunteers. METHODS Twenty one samples of whole fat dairy milk were analyzed for fatty acids levels. Changes in levels of plasma phospholipid l...

Pancreatic β-cell failure and death is considered to be one of the main factors responsible for type 2 diabetes. It is caused by, in addition to hyperglycemia, chronic exposure to increased concentrations of fatty acids, mainly saturated fatty acids. Molecular mechanisms of apoptosis induction by saturated fatty acids in β-cells are not completely clear. It has been proposed that kinase signali...
