RNA-seq was used to compare the transcriptomic response of hepatopancreas in juvenile Litopenaeus vannamei fed three diets with different lipid sources, including beef tallow (BT), fish oil (FO), and an equal combination of soybean oil + BT + linseed oil (SBL) for 8 weeks at 3 practical salinity unit (psu). A total of 9622 isogenes were annotated in 316 KEGG pathways and 39, 42 and 32 pathways ...

In fed rat livers perfused with [1-14C]oleic acid, Ro 22-0654 (4-amino-5-ethyl-3-thiophenecarboxylic acid methyl ester hydrochloride), an inhibitor of fatty acid synthesis, activated ketogenesis and decreased the secretion of triglyceride in very low density lipoproteins (VLDL). Ro 22-0654 was without effect on total oleic acid uptake and utilization by the liver. The liver triglyceride content...

oils and fats are substances that are important nutritionally and have important role and impact on human health. energy consumption and preservation in respect of food industry and the increase in the world population and search for new sources of oils and fats to full fill the need of the society particulary the nutritional requirements have introduced this research topic. therefore aim of th...

for determining the fatty acid characteristics and biodiesel quality of ethiopian jatropha provenances, the study was conducted in five regions namely southern nation nationalities peoples regional state (snnprs), amhara region, tigria region, oromia region and benishangul gumuz regions, where physic nut is found abundantly. for each region, representative sampling sites were selected following...

OBJECTIVE In short-term feeding trials, replacement of other macronutrients with monounsaturated fatty acid reduces blood pressure. However, observational studies have not clearly demonstrated a relationship between monounsaturated fatty acid intake and blood pressure. We report associations of monounsaturated fatty acid intake of individuals with blood pressure in a cross-sectional study. ME...

Evening Primrose oil (Oenothera biennis L.) is a rich source of Gamma linolenic acid (GLA) and other useful unsaturated fatty acids. Despite the diversity of sources of GLA, due to better absorption in the human body, evening primrose oil is the main source of GLA. In this study, the effects of pollination, harvesting method and application of salicylic acid on yield, yield components, and qual...

Mortierella alpina, a fungus used commercially as a source of arachidonic acid, 20:4(n-6), has been examined to see if growth on lipid-based carbon sources leads to repression of either fatty acid biosynthesis and/or fatty acid desaturation and elongation. Changes in the activities of ATP:citrate lyase, isocitrate lyase, carnitine acetyltransferase, malic enzyme, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogena...
