The capacities of certain compounds at pH 7.3-7.5 to inactivate the virus of lymphocytic choriomeningitis have been demonstrated. Among the more effective substances were the fatty acids chaulmoogric, linolic, linolenic, myristic, oleic, and ricinolic, and the detergents zephiran, duponol LS, and aerosol OT. Upon the oleic acid inactivation of the virus, studies have been made of such variables...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND A systematic mapping of the phytochemical composition of different sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) fruit subspecies is still lacking. No data relating to the fatty acid composition of main lipid fractions from the berries of ssp. carpatica (Romania) have been previously reported. RESULTS The fatty acid composition of the total lipids (oils) and the major lipid...

A few familial adenomatous polyposis studies have focused upon faecal sterols and bile acids but none has analysed the fecal content of fatty acids. We report here findings of an observational study on 29 colectomized familial adenomatous polyposis patients that describe the fecal content of fatty acids, and relate this to the proportions of fatty acids and levels of cyclooxygenase mRNA express...

Paprika Capsicum annuum L. contains useful molecules such as carotenoids and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are considered high-value functional health ingredients. To obtain these compounds, paprika was extracted using different methods (Soxhlet, SC-CO2, SC-CO2 with co-extractant) at parameters. The results showed that the carotenoid content decreased addition of co-extractant while acid y...

BACKGROUND Free fatty acid (FFA) metabolism can impact on metabolic conditions, such as obesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This work studied the increase in total FFA shown in NAFLD subjects to possibly characterize which fatty acids significantly accounted for the whole increase. METHODS 21 patients with NAFLD were selected according to specified criteria. The control grou...

The changes in fatty acid composition o f maize leaf lipids caused by EPTC were generally similar to known effects o f this herbicide in other plants: decreasing o f linolenic acid content and increasing o f its precursors, palmitic, stearic, oleic and linoleic acids. However, novel effects were detected in roots where the proportion o f minor fatty acid palmitoleic acid was increased from 2.1 ...

(KCS).2) Several KCS genes from higher plants have been identified, e.g., Arabidopsis thaliana E4El, CU71I, and KCSI,3-5) Simmondsia chinensis Gojoba) Kes,6) Brcmssica nupus (rape) KCS,'} and Limnanthes dougldsii (meadowfoam) E4E.S) The A4EI gene of A. thaiiana, for example, encodes a seed-specific fatty acid elongase which extends the 18 and 20 carbon acyl chains to 20 and 22, respectively.3) ...

Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. var. Glabrous D62-7812) plants were grown in aerated Hoagland and Arnon mineral nutrient solution containing 0 or 2.6 mum S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate (EPTC) in a growth chamber. After 19 days exposure to EPTC, total leaf fresh weight was reduced 18% by 2.6 mum EPTC while total leaf fatty acid content was reduced 63%. Galactolipid content decreased while phospho...

Total lipid contents of green (Chlorella pyrenoidosa, C), red (Porphyra tenera, N; Palmaria palmata, D), and brown (Laminaria japonica, K; Eisenia bicyclis, A; Undaria pinnatifida, W, WI; Hizikia fusiformis, H) commercial edible algal and cyanobacterial (Spirulina platensis, S) products, and autotrophically cultivated samples of the green microalga Chlorella kessleri (CK) and the cyanobacterium...
