The aim of this study was to characterize the tissue-associated differences in the fatty acid profiles of intramuscular, subcutaneous and hepatic lipids and their quality indices from Lithuanian indigenous wattle pig and wild boar backcross to lean breed. The samples from hybrid pigs (1/4 Lithuanian indigenous wattle, 1/4 wild boar and 1/2 Landrace) were used in the experiment. There was little...

The association of plasma phospholipid (PL) fatty acid composition with plasma homocysteine (Hcy) in Chinese vegetarians is not understood. The main aim of the present study was to investigate the plasma PL fatty acid status, and its association with plasma Hcy in Chinese vegetarians and omnivores. A total of 103 male vegetarians and 128 male omnivores were recruited in Linyin Temple, Hangzhou....

A cell-type specific glycoprotein antigen (SFA) from fibroblast surface appears in human plasma and serum. The amount of SFA in serum was reduced if the blood coagulation clot was removed at a low temperature. SFA could be bound to Sepharose-conjugated fibrinogen and to fibrin powder at 0 degrees C and was subsequently released when the temperature was elevated to plus 37 degrees C. This proced...

Abstract This research presents the results of a comparison assessment cholesterol content, fatty acid profile, and atherogenic (IA) thrombogenic (IT) health lipid parameters four dry fermented sausages produced from Mangalitsa Swedish Landrace pork meat. The highest level was found in Sremska sausage prepared meat (64.92 mg/100g). Polyunsaturated (PUFA) levels were considerably greater than ot...

OBJECTIVE Saturated fats increase total cholesterol (TC) and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and are linked to coronary artery disease risk. The effect of variance in chain length of saturated fatty acids (SFA) on coronary artery disease in human postprandial lipemia is not well elucidated. METHODS A total of 20 healthy volunteers were challenged with 3 test meals, similar in fat ...

Three groups of Hansenula polymorpha fatty acid auxotrophic mutants were screened by their fatty acid requirement for growth. The mutants are saturated fatty acid auxotrophic mutants (Sfa), monounsaturated fatty acid auxotrophic mutants (Mfa) and polyunsaturated fatty acid auxotrophic mutants (Pfa) which required saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids...

Sanglifehrin A (SFA) is a recently developed immunosuppressant that belongs to the family of immunophilin-binding ligands. SFA is a cyclophilin A-binding immunosuppressive drug with a novel, but unidentified, mechanism of action. Several reports exist about the effect of SFA on T cells, but its effect on the initiators of the immune response, i.e., dendritic cells (DCs), is relatively unknown. ...

Abstract Objective In this 7-day pilot study we randomized healthy, normal-weight men and women to either a dietary intervention with methionine cysteine restriction enriched in PUFA (Met/Cys low + PUFA, n = 7) or high contents of methionine, SFA SFA, 7). The objective was describe the short-term responses oral glucose tolerance, amino acid profile, total fatty pyruvate lactate following Met/Cy...

The objective of this study was to estimate the effects of breed, sex, and halothane (HAL-1843) genotype on fatty acid composition of triacylglycerols (TAG) and phospholipids (PL) extracted from porcine longissimus muscle (LM). Purebred Yorkshire (n = 131), Duroc (n = 136), Hampshire (n = 49), Spotted (n = 35), Chester White (n = 74), Poland China (n = 51), Berkshire (n = 169) and Landrace (n =...

Analogs of N-4909 (1), which had a stimulating activity for apolipoprotein E (apo E) secretion in Human hepatoma Hep G2 cells, were prepared and their activities examined. Cyclic analogs which had different kinds of amino acids or different number of amino acids from N-4909 (1) showed less effect on apo E secretion from Hep G2 cells. The length of acyl chain was found to be an important factor ...
