The aim of this study was to evaluate fermented rice bran phospholipids, lipids and fatty acid content in a fermentation solid system with Rhizopus oryzae fungus. For this, aliquots were withdrawn every 24h over 120 h. The content of phospholipids was determined by colorimetric method. Esterified fatty acids were separated by gas chromatography, then identified and quantified. The total lipids ...

Fatty acids are activated in an ATP-dependent manner before they are utilized. We describe here how the 10 S triacylglycerol biosynthetic multienzyme complex from Rhodotorula glutinis is capable of activating non-esterified fatty acids for the synthesis of triacylglycerol. The photolabelling of the complex with [(32)P]azido-ATP showed labelling of a 35 kDa polypeptide. The labelled polypeptide ...

The research aims to establish a connection between the content of phospholipids, their fatty acid composition and sorption capacity honey bee head tissues reproductive productivity depending on amount flaxseed oil in feed additive. It was found that addition 10 20 g into additive which consists low-fat soy flour sugar syrup, demonstrates dose-dependent increase saturated, monounsaturated espec...

Most of the triacylglycerol (TAG) utilized for the assembly of very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) in the secretory apparatus of the hepatocyte is mobilized by lipolysis of the cytosolic TAG pool, followed by re-esterification. The lipases involved include arylacetamide deacetylase and/or triacylglycerol hydrolase. Some of the re-esterified products of lipolysis gain access to an apolipoprotein...

from earlier experiments. Similar results were obtained for the freshwater bivalve Anodonta cygnea (Gade et al., 1975). In this animal, acetate and propionate were responsible for over 75 % of total accumulated end products after 30h of anaerobiosis. As volatile fatty acids can be stored in the animal in esterified form, some of the homogenates obtained in the experiments represented in Table 1...

The aim of the study was to determine an influence of diet additives in a form of protected palm oil, protected fish oil or unprotected fish oil with glycerol in Polish Holstein-Friesian cows on milk fatty acid composition, metabolism, milk yield and milk composition. Milk production, milk fat, and milk protein did not differ statistically between the groups. A significant increase (P<0.01) in ...

Human muscle fatty acid-binding protein (M-FABP) is a 15 kDa cytosolic protein which may be involved in fatty acid transfer and modulation of non-esterified fatty acid concentration in heart, skeletal muscle, kidney and many other tissues. Crystallographic studies have suggested the importance of the amino acids Thr-40, Arg-106, Arg-126 and Tyr-128 for the hydrogen bonding network of the fatty ...

This study reports a novel protocol to increase plasma monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and saturated non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) in eight healthy volunteers (age 29-54 years and BMI 23-26 kg.m). This was achieved by feeding small boluses of fat at different time points (35 g at 0 min and 8 g at 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210 min) in combination with a continuous low-dose heparin infusion...
