The regulation of nonenzymatic and enzymatic lipid oxidation reactions by nitric oxide (.NO) is potent and pervasive and reveals novel non-cGMP-dependent reactivities for this free radical inflammatory and signal transduction mediator.NO and its metabolites stimulate and inhibit lipid peroxidation reactions, modulate enzymatically catalyzed lipid oxidation, complex with lipid-reactive metals, a...

The oxidation induced changes in the lipid layer of the lipoprotein particles of LDL and HDLs have been followed by measuring the steady-state polarization anisotropy of the fluorescence probe TMA-DPH incorporated in the lipid layer. The mobility restriction gradually increases with oxidation in LDL and HDL2 indicating the oxidation-induced structuring of lipids, while the effect of oxidation i...

There is a general agreement (belief) that lipids are the pivotal element in inflammatory disease. One of the most studied topics is the connection between lipid oxidation and cardiovascular disease. In a very recent review, the introductory paragraphs states, after resuming the elements of the inflammatory response starting with stimulated endothelium displaying adhesive molecules for circulat...

Lipid oxidation analysis in food samples is a relevant topic since compounds generated in the process are related to undesirable sensory and biological effects. As the process is complex and depends on the type of lipid substrate, oxidation agents and environmental factors, proper measurement of lipid oxidation remains a challenging task. A great variety of methodologies have been developed and...

RATIONALE Long chain fatty acids (LCFAs) are the preferred substrate for energy provision in hearts. However, the contribution of endogenous triacylglyceride (TAG) turnover to LCFA oxidation and the overall dependence of mitochondrial oxidation on endogenous lipid is largely unstudied. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine the role of TAG turnover in supporting LCFA oxidation and the influence of ...

Rationale: Long chain fatty acids (LCFAs) are the preferred substrate for energy provision in hearts. However, the contribution of endogenous triacylglyceride (TAG) turnover to LCFA oxidation and the overall dependence of mitochondrial oxidation on endogenous lipid is largely unstudied. Objective: We sought to determine the role of TAG turnover in supporting LCFA oxidation and the influence of ...

UNLABELLED The course of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and disease progression involves alterations in lipid metabolism, leading to symptoms such as hypocholesterolemia and steatosis. Steatosis can be induced by multiple mechanisms, including increases in lipid biosynthesis and uptake, impaired lipoprotein secretion, and/or attenuation of lipid β-oxidation. However, little is known about th...

Longissimus dorsi muscle strips, approximately 20 mm long, 40 mm wide, and 5 mm thick (4 g), of pig were randomly placed in a single layer into labeled bags (four strips per bag) and packaged either aerobically or under vacuum. Samples in the bags were irradiated at 0, 5, or 10 kGy and stored at 4°C for 5 days. Lipid oxidation, the amount and identity of volatile components and sensory characte...

This study was conducted to investigate whether administration of IH901, a ginseng intestinal metabolite, ameliorates exercise-induced oxidative stress while preserving antioxidant defense capability in rat skeletal muscles and lung. Eight adult male Sprague-Dawley rats per group were randomly assigned to the resting control, exercise control, resting with IH901 (25, 50, and 100 mg/kg) consumpt...
