Lipoprotein lipase has been identified in extracts of adipose tissue and heart and seems to be identical to the lipase that appears in plasma after the injection of a polyanion (cf. 1,2). The most unique characteristic of this lipase is its specificity for triglycerides in the form of a natural or synthetic lipoprotein complex. This paper describes investigations on the specificity of lipoprote...

Polyphenolic antioxidants are mainly absorbed through passive paracellular permeation regulated by tight junctions. Some fatty acids are known to modulate tight junctions. Fatty acids resulting from the digestion of edible oils may improve the absorption of polyphenolic antioxidants. Therefore, we explored the effect of three edible oils on the intestinal absorption of caffeic acid. Rats were f...

effect of methanolic leaf extract of moringa oleifera for the stabilization of butter oil with modified fatty acid profile at ambient temperature was investigated. twelve sahiwal cows of first and early lactation were randomly stratified into two groups in a completely randomized design and fatty acid profile of milk fat was modified by feeding 300 grams calcium salts of fatty acids (per cow pe...

The visceral storage fat and liver of patin catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) are normally discarded, which incurs cost and can cause environmental pollution. However, these may be potential sources to extract fish oil. The proximate and fatty acid compositions of liver and fatty tissue of patin catfish were investigated to evaluate the suitability of these by-products for extracting fish o...

Olive (Olea europaea L.) is a significant crop especially in Mediterranean countries. In Turkey olives and olive oil have major agricultural importance Olives been used not only nutrient as flavor enhancer dishes, but also medicine because of having essential roles for human health. the pharmaceutical value uses are related to biochemical content compounds. Mainly four chemical sources: mono-un...

BACKGROUND Coconut oil is commonly used as herbal medicine worldwide. There is limited information regarding its effects on the developing embryo and infant growth. METHODS We investigated the effect of virgin coconut oil post-natally and until 6 weeks old in mice (age of maturity). Females were fed with either standard, virgin olive oil or virgin coconut oil diets 1 month prior to copulation...

In this study, oil was extracted from the liver and visceral fat of Patin (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) and refined. The yield of oil after refining was 49.98%. The major yield loss (34.20%) happened during the degumming procedure. Fatty acids found in the crude and refined oil were C12:0, C14:0, C14:1, C16:0, C16:1, C18:0, C18:1, C18:2, C18:3, C18:4, C20:0, C20:1, C20:4, C20:5, and C22:6. The ...
