This study aimed to determine the fatty acid profile, omegas, and lipid quality indices in commercial cuts of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum). Samples were collected from two fish processing industries located Rondônia state, Brazil. The experimental design was completely randomized, with performed triplicate. Data submitted for analysis variance (ANOVA) assess differences between cuts. If ANOV...

BACKGROUND Experimental evidence suggests that hepatic de novo lipogenesis (DNL) affects insulin homeostasis via synthesis of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs). Few prospective studies have used fatty acid biomarkers to assess associations with type 2 diabetes. OBJECTIVES We investigated associations of major circulating SFAs [palmitic acid (16:0) and steari...

The fatty acids and amino acids compositions of different parts of wapiti deer (Cervus elaphus) muscle (loin, chops, shoulder and hindquarters) were analyzed in this study. In total, fifteen types of fatty acid were identified and quantified in fresh and freeze-dried samples, with monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) constituting approximately 47.82-59.04%...

R emarkably rapid increase in the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome reflects the strong impact of lifestyle factors, including diet, on its etiology. In particular, dietary intake of fat may play a role in this regard. Different types of fat have been related to insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome, but findings are inconsistent. One specific type of dietary fatty acid that has rece...

The aim of this study was to obtain a basic knowledge of the fatty acid compositions and consequently, determination of diet for Turbo coronatus by means of fatty acids biomarkers. Samples were collected during a year (April, July, October 2007 and February 2008) in coastal areas of Chabahar Bay in Oman Sea. Biomarker fatty acids revealed that diet of Turbo coronatus included phytoplankton, zoo...

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Diet is an important modifiable factor involved in obesity-induced inflammation. We reviewed clinical trials that assessed the effect of consumption of different fatty acids on the expression of inflammation-related genes, such as cytokines, adipokines, chemokines and transcription factors. DESIGN AND SETTING: Narrative review study conducted at a research center. MET...

The optimal diet composition to prevent obesity and its complications is unknown. Study aims were to determine the association of diet composition with energy intake, homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and C-reactive protein (CRP). Data were from the NHANES for eligible adults aged 20-74 y from 2005 to 2006 (n = 3073). Energy intake and diet composition were obtained by ...

It is well known that saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and unsaturated fatty acid, in particular omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs), have different effects on inflammatory signaling: SFAs are pro-inflammatory but n-3 PUFAs have strong anti-inflammatory properties. We have reported that palmitic acid (PA), a saturated fatty acid, robustly amplifies lipopolysaccharide (LPS) signaling to ...

Cancer cells present sustained de novo fatty acid (FA) synthesis with increased production of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs). This change in FA metabolism is associated with overexpression of stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1), which catalyses the transformation of SFAs into MUFAs (e.g., oleic acid). In this study, we provide new evidence that SCD1 inhibition...
