The mode of action of spent coffee grounds supercritical fluid CO2 extract (SFE) in melanogenesis has never been reported. In the study, the spent coffee grounds were extracted by the supercritical fluid CO2 extraction method; the chemical constituents of the SFE were investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The effects of the SFE and its major fatty acid components on mela...

Introduction Triglyceride (TG) is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease. Previous work has shown that short-term supplementations of mouse chow with oxidized linoleic acid (OxLA) significantly reduce the level of plasma triglycerides. Study Objective This study aims to determine the effects of longer-term supplementation of mouse chow with various concentrations of oxidized li...

Transgenic soya bean (Glycine max) plants overexpressing a seed-specific bacterial phytoene synthase gene from Pantoea ananatis modified to target to plastids accumulated 845 μg β carotene g(-1) dry seed weight with a desirable 12:1 ratio of β to α. The β carotene accumulating seeds exhibited a shift in oil composition increasing oleic acid with a concomitant decrease in linoleic acid and an in...

In this study, monofloral honeys (chaste, thyme, citrus, and heather) which were obtained from different sources members of Beekeeping Associations in South-West Anatolia studied for their antioxidant capacity, total phenolic amounts, flavonoid acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), urease inhibition activities. Antioxidant capacity honey samples was determined by β-carotene...

background: this study aimed at investigation of the chemical composition, antimicrobial activity, and antioxidant properties of clove, cumin, origanum, and anise essential oils (eos). methods: chemical compositions of the eos were identified using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (gc/ms). the antibacterial activities of eos against four important food-borne bacteria were assessed by disc d...

Background and objectives: Although weed plants are considered undesirable in a particular situation, some weed seeds can be a valuable and cheap source of therapeutic natural compounds. Securigera securidaca (L.) Degen & Dorfl (Fabaceae) is widely distributed in Europe, Australia and Asia as a weed plant. This study investigated the bioactive compounds of S. secur...

In this study, the physical and chemical properties of linseed oil sesame seed were measured compared. The results showed that nitrogen content, total protein amino acids in 3.27%, 20.39%, 92158.22 μg/g FW, respectively, 2.79%, 17.43%, 92246.59 FW seeds correspondingly. content unsaturated fatty such as linolenic acid linoleic was 290.57 μg/g, 0.55 3326.69 μg/g、0.24 oil. addition, contents palm...

BACKGROUND Chronic idiopathic pain syndromes are major causes of personal suffering, disability, and societal expense. Dietary n-6 linoleic acid has increased markedly in modern industrialized populations over the past century. These high amounts of linoleic acid could hypothetically predispose to physical pain by increasing the production of pro-nociceptive linoleic acid-derived lipid autacoid...

This study was undertaken to evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety, and histological changes induced by dietary omega-3 fatty acid and γ-linoleic acid in acne vulgaris. A 10-week, randomised, controlled parallel dietary intervention study was performed in 45 participants with mild to moderate acne, which were allocated to either an omega-3 fatty acid group (2,000 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid an...

Sprague-Dawley rats with intact (SHAM) and bilaterally transected chorda tympani nerves (CTX) received conditioned taste aversions (CTAs) to the free fatty acids (FFAs), linoleic and oleic acid, at micromolar quantities. Two-bottle preference tests showed that CTX eliminated avoidance of 88 muM linoleic acid but did not affect CTA avoidance of corn oil or 250 mM sucrose. Short-duration stimulus...
