The work is the report about stearic acid sol-gel synthesis method, magnetically, electricalcharacterization and activation energy of copper manganese oxide nanostructures. The CuMn2O4 nanostructures are synthesized at a temperature of 600°C using the sol-gel method. The structural analysis using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scherrer equation show that the crystallite size of CuMn2O4 is ab...

The effects of gamma irradiation, stearic acid alone and in combination on functional, structural and molecular characteristics of high amylose maize starch (Hylon VII) were studied. Stearic acid (0, 1.5 & 5 %) was added to Hylon VII starch, and then irradiated at 0, 30 and 60 kGy. Gamma irradiation significantly (P ≤ 0.05) increased solubility, water absorption capacity and oil absorption capa...

To investigate the underlying mechanisms of C18 fatty acids (stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid) on mast cells, we measured the effect of C18 fatty acids on intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization and histamine release in RBL-2H3 mast cells. Stearic acid rapidly increased initial peak of intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization, whereas linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid gradually ...

The absorption of [14C]linoleic acid and [14C]stearic acid in guinea pig bile by the in situ guinea pig gallbladder was compared. Linoleic acid was adsorbed at a faster rate than was stearic acid. Differences were also observed in the incorporation of these two fatty acids into complex lipids of the gallbladder mucosa. A greater portion of adsorbed linoleic acid was incorporated into triacylgly...

Although stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid, its influence on plasma cholesterol acid other health variables is neutral; possibly owing in part to poor absorption. Reduced absorption of stearic acid from particular triacylglycerols, cocoa butter and novel fats formulated with short- and long-chain acid triacylglycerol molecules (Salatrims) has been attributed to high intakes. However, the c...

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...

Background: Stearic acid is known as a potent anti-inflammatory lipid. This fatty acid has profound and diverse effects on liver metabolism. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of stearic acid on markers of hepatocyte transplantation in rats with acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver damage. Methods: Wistar rats were randomly assigned to 10-day treatment. Stearic acid was administe...

Abstract This study aims to examine the effect of ultrasonic-assisted extraction method on yield oil and profile fatty acid from microalga yeast. The cultivated was identified genetically as Thraustochytrium multirudimentale MAST-1 yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa KAST-1. oils were extracted dried biomass by solvents using modified Bligh Dyer (BD) method. Before extraction, material underwent ult...

The effects of blend ratio and drug loading content of poly(D,L-lactide) (PDLL)/stearic acid blends on microparticle characteristics and drug release behaviors were evaluated. The blend microparticles were prepared by an oil-in-water emulsion solvent evaporation method for drug delivery of a poorly water-soluble model drug, indomethacin. The microparticles were characterized using a combination...

The gastrointestinal handling and metabolic disposal of [1-13C]palmitic acid, [1-13C]stearic acid and [1-13C]oleic acid administered within a lipid-casein-glucose-sucrose emulsion were examined in normal healthy women by determining both the amount and nature of the 13C label in stool and label excreted on breath as 13CO2. The greatest excretion of 13C label in stool was in the stearic acid tri...
