Saturated monoglyceride (SMG) is a main cause of precipitate formed above cloud point biodiesel (B100), which leads to filter plugging in diesel engine. In this work, we studied the effect SMG content (0.1–0.7 wt%) palm (PO-B100) on (CP) fuels blended with PO-B100 at different concentrations (B0, B7, B10 and B20). Euro 4 5 diesels high low aromatic were used, respectively. The concentration CP ...

OBJECTIVE The present study was undertaken to examine the effect of a polyunsaturated fat diet compared with an isocaloric Mediterranean-style monounsaturated fat diet. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was a randomized 2-week crossover study on either a high-polyunsaturated or a high-monounsaturated fat diet in 11 well-controlled diabetic men. Blood was taken fasting and for up to 8 h after a...

The postprandial responses of apo B48, B100, E and lipids in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) to a meal containing one-third of daily energy (39% fat calories) were compared in normolipidemic young men with apo E3/3 and apo E4/3 phenotypes. After the two groups consumed a diet rich in polyunsaturated fat for 15-29 d, their postabsorptive concentrations of TRL triglycerides, apo B48, and apo...

Lipid abnormalities in diabetic patients, particularly in those with nephropathy, may be partially due to deteriorating atherosclerosis. Therefore, strict control of the lipid metabolism in addition to glycemic control is desirable. Whether or not lipid lowering drugs prevent albuminuria in diabetic patients in the long term remains unclear. This study involved 71 NIDDM patients with hyperchole...

Alternative fuels, specifically biodiesel, biodiesel blends, and E85 fuel, have been gaining a market share over the past few years. With the emergence of these fuels, fire debris analysts should be able to recognize their characteristics since these fuels may be encountered in casework. In this study, pure biodiesel (B100) and a 20% blend of pure biodiesel with petroleum diesel (B20) are exami...

After the two groups consumed a diet rich in polyunsaturated fat for 15–29 d, their postabsorptive concentrations of TRL triglycerides, apo B48, and apo...

BACKGROUND Mixed hyperlipidemia is common in patients with diabetes. Statins, the choice drugs, are effective at reducing lipoproteins that contain apolipoprotein B100, but they fail to exert good control over intestinal lipoproteins, which have an atherogenic potential. We describe the effect of prescription omega 3 fatty acids on the intestinal lipoproteins in patients with type 2 diabetes wh...

Human apolipoprotein (apo)-B mRNA undergoes a novel tissue specific editing reaction which replaces a genomically templated cytidine with uridine. This substitution converts codon 2153 from glutamine (CAA) in apo-B100 mRNA to a stop codon (UAA) in apo-B48 mRNA. This novel RNA editing process is responsible for the generation of hepatic apo-B100 and intestinal apo-B48. We have established the fo...
