BACKGROUND Dietary fatty acids that are more prone to oxidation than to storage may be less likely to lead to obesity. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the effect of chain length, degree of unsaturation, and stereoisomeric effects of unsaturation on the oxidation of individual fatty acids in normal-weight men. DESIGN Fatty acid oxidation was examined in men consuming a weigh...

To identify mutagens formed in a model reaction of lipid peroxidation, linolenic acid methyl ester and hemin were reacted with dG. As a result, a 4-oxo-2-hexenal-dG adduct (dG*) was identified in the model reaction mixture. The 4-oxo-2-hexenal (4-OHE) showed mutagenic activity in the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA100 and TA104. After 4-OHE was orally administered to mice, dG, 4-OHE-dC- and 4...

Whole-body fatty acid analysis in rats has previously shown that 50-70% of dietary linoleate and alpha-linolenate is beta-oxidized to CO2 and that this value increases with refeeding after a single episode of fasting. Our hypothesis was that repeated fasting-refeeding or weight-cycling would increase the beta-oxidation of linoleate and alpha-linolenate thereby depleting their whole-body levels....
