Soybean is a valuable protein and oilseed crop ranked among the most significant of major crops. Field experiments were carried out in 2016–2019 South-East Poland. The influence soybean cultivars (Aldana, Annushka), nitrogen fertilizer (0, 30, 60 kg?ha?1 N) inoculation with B. japonicum (control, HiStick® Soy, Nitragina) on content fatty acids (FA) seeds was investigated three-factorial experim...

Intramuscular fat (IMF) and oleic acid (C18:1) content in pork are important issues for the pig industry and consumers. Data from a purebred Duroc line were used to i) estimate the genetic parameters of IMF and C18:1 and their genetic correlations with lean growth components, and ii) evaluate the opportunities for genetically improving C18:1 in IMF. The data set used for estimating genetic para...

BACKGROUND Lung cancer (LC) is the deadliest cancer, with earlier stage patients having a better opportunity of long-term survival. The goal of this study is to screen less-invasive and efficient biomarkers for early detection of non-small cell LC (NSCLC). MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed the simultaneous quantitative detection of six serum unsaturated free fatty acids (FFAs, C16:1, C18:3, C...

This study estimated genetic parameters for fatty acids of different sites of fat tissue, meat production, and meat quality traits of Duroc pigs selected during 7 generations for ADG, LM area, backfat thickness (BF), and intramuscular fat (IMF). For this study, 394 barrows and 153 gilts were slaughtered at 105 kg of BW. High heritabilities for C18:0 of outer and inner subcutaneous fat tissue we...

BACKGROUND To screen biomarkers to differentiate early-stage colorectal cancer (CRC) from benign colorectal disease (BCD) and healthy controls. MATERIALS & METHODS Quantitative and qualitative analysis of C16:1, C18:3, C18:2, C18:1, C20:4, and C22:6 in 185 healthy controls, 55 patients with BCD, and 139 patients with CRC was performed. Comparisons of their levels in between CRC patients, BCD ...

This study investigated whether making epithelial cell membranes impermeable to Cl- movement affects incorporation of fatty acids into membrane constituents. Epithelial cells were isolated from human nasal polyps, cultured for 5-7 days, and used to test the effect of anthracene 9-carboxylate (9-AC), known to inhibit Cl- conductance across the epithelial membrane, on the incorporation and desatu...

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...
