Ten species of dermatophytes and four of the systemic fungi were assayed for total lipids, acetone-soluble fraction, and phospholipid content in different types of cultures. The yeast phase of each of the systemic fungi grown on solid medium exhibited a higher total lipid content than did the mycelial growth in liquid medium, either shake or still. Shake cultures, in all the fungi tested, produ...

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides and total lipids were estimated in twelve students exposed to varying degree of examination stress. Serum cholesterol and triglycerides exhibited a rise proportional to degree of examination stress whereas total lipids exhibited an initial rise followed by a fall. Values of all these parameters attained control level when the stress was over. The rise in serum c...

Plastoglobules are plastid compartments designed for the storage of neutral lipids. They share physical and structural characteristics with cytosolic lipid droplets. Hence, special care must be taken to avoid contamination by droplets during plastoglobule purification. We describe isolation pure plastoglobules from Arabidopsis thaliana leaves, methods we use determine their composition. After p...

background and aims. a link between the occurrence of severe periodontitis and several systematic health changes including an altered lipid metabolism has been suggested. the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between chronic periodontitis and serum lipid levels. materials and methods. thirty patients with chronic periodontitis (the community periodontal index of treatment ne...

In order to study lipid metabolism in the liver without interference due to transport from and to the liver the isolated livers of normal, X-irradiated, and partially hepatectomized rats were perfused with acetate-1-(14)C and the distribution of radioactivity in total lipids, total fatty acids, individual lipids, and fatty acids of individual lipids was determined. In X-irradiated animals, an i...

The mechanism of antifungal activities of propolis (Bee glue) was investigated for the growth, aflatoxins production, and lipids (total lipids, neutral lipids, phospholipids, and fatty acids) metabolism of Aspergillus parasiticus. The results of the present study indicated that propolis caused significant decrease in conidial production and conidial germination as well as mycelial growth (both ...

In order to study lipid metabolism in the liver without interference due to transport from and to the liver the isolated livers of normal, X-irradiated, and partially hepatectomized rats were perfused with acetate-1 J4C and the distribution of radioactivity in total lipids, total fatty acids, individual lipids, and fatty acids of individual lipids was determined. In X-irradiated animals, an inc...

The influence of cooking and later storage in a refrigerator for 7 days on the fatty acid composition of lipids in sardines (Sardinops melanosticta) was studied. The total lipid and triacylglycerol (TG) levels did not change and the phospholipid (PL) level decreased somewhat with cooking or during storage. The fatty acid composition of the total lipids and TG fractions was little changed and th...

Given that fermented dairy products exhibit high bioactivities against cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the anti-thrombotic properties, fatty acid profiles and sensory properties of cow, goat and ewe derived Greek yogurts have been assessed and compared. The total lipids (TL), total polar lipids (TPL), total neutral lipids (TNL) were obtained and the polar lipid fractions were further separated ...

A supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) method has been developed for the extraction of lipids in bilberry. Experimental design was used to optimize pressure, temperature and extraction time using CO2 as solvent. Best SFE condition for total lipids was 450 bar, 60 °C and 45 min. The SFE method was compared to conventional Bligh & Dyer (B&D) extraction. The amount of fatty acid methyl esters (FAM...
