serum fatty acids on 30 healthy lranian women were detemined by a gas chromatographic method. oleic and stearic acids were used as standards. the mean values were myristic acid 5. 7% , palmitic acid 43% , palmitoleic acid 5.3% , stearic acid 8% , oleic acid 21. 3% and linleic acid 16.4% of total fatty acid serum contents.

The temperature reduces the viability and seed vigor; however, effect of on imbibition fatty acid profile has not been studied. Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) seeds have a substantial quantity oil, making them potential study model for metabolism. Therefore, we explore (10, 20, 30 °C) chia imbibition, germination, by GC-MS. Imbibition FI occurs within first hour in all treatments; while FII FIIend ...

objectives: the objective of this study was to analyze the fatty acid content, antioxidant, and antibacterial activities of hydro-methanolic extract of adonis wolgensis l. (a. wolgensis l.) growing wild in north of iran. materials and methods: oils of a. wolgensis l. was obtained by means of soxhlet apparatus from leaves and stems. methyl esters were derived from the oily mixtures by trans-este...

In order to meet dietary requirements, the consumption of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3 n-3) must be promoted. However, its effects on triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol metabolism are still controversial, and may be dose-dependent. The effects of increasing dietary ALA intakes (1%, 10%, 20% and 40% of total FA) were investigated in male hamsters. ALA replaced oleic acid while linoleic and sat...

Candida albicans is an opportunistic dimorphic fungus that inhabits various host mucosal sites. Conversion from the yeast to the hyphal form has been associated with increased virulence and mucosal invasiveness. C. albicans morphogenesis is regulated by multiple signals and signaling pathways. However, signals that control morphogenesis in vivo are unknown. We investigated the effects of host l...

BACKGROUND During long-term intravenous infusions, sulfite in sulfite-containing propofol emulsions can cause the peroxidation of lipid and dimerization of propofol. This study evaluated the role of lipid in sulfite-dependent propofol dimerization by determining the effects of individual fatty acids in soybean oil emulsion and peroxidized lipids in a model system. METHODS Individual fatty aci...

The pomological properties and nutritional values of walnuts vary according to the cultivars and ecological conditions. This study aims to determine some pomological properties and fatty acid compositions of some domestic ('Bilecik', 'Maraş 12', 'Maraş 18', 'Şebin', 'Şen1', 'Şen 2') and foreign walnut cultivars (‘Chandler', 'Fernette', 'Fernor', 'Howard', 'Pedro', 'Serr') grown in Bursa (northw...

The immune system acts to protect the host against pathogenic invaders. However, components of the immune system can become dysregulated such that their activities are directed against host tissues, so causing damage. Lymphocytes are involved in both the beneficial and detrimental effects of the immune system. Both the level of fat and the types of fatty acid present in the diet can affect lymp...

The crude oil of Malaysian castor bean ricinus communis L. seed was extracted by Soxhlet method using hexane. The physicochemical characteristics of castor bean oil were evaluated. The results showed that Malaysian castor seeds contain a relatively high percentage of total lipids content; 43.3% (per dry weight), high iodine value (84.5 mg/g) and saponification value (182.96 mg/g). The seed oil ...

Linseed is well known for abundant content of α-linolenic acid why it has been widely used as a source of n-3 fatty acid. Higher ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids can increase lipid peroxidation. Selenium (Se) plays a key role in antioxidant enzymes and can therefore be regarded for use in attempts focused on protection of fatty acids from oxidation. The organic Se has been shown to have hig...
