Several findings suggest the existence of a "fatty" taste, and the CD36 fatty acid translocase is a candidate taste receptor. The present study compared fat preference and acceptance in CD36 knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice using nutritive (triglyceride and fatty acid) and nonnutritive (Sefa Soyate oil) emulsions. In two-bottle tests (24 h/day) naive KO mice, unlike WT mice, displayed litt...

Intravenous lipid emulsions (ILE) have demonstrated advantages including prevention of essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiency; however, too much EFA can down regulate fatty acid elongation leading to an imbalance of nutritional compounds in plasma and cell membranes. An olive oil-based ILE containing long-chain triacylglycerols (LCT) with a low content (20 %) of PUFA was administered for home pa...

The physico-chemical and interfacial properties of fat emulsions influence lipid digestion and may affect postprandial responses. The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of the modification of the interfacial layer of a fat emulsion by cross-linking on postprandial metabolic and appetite responses. A total of fifteen healthy individuals (26.5 (sem 6.9) years and BMI 21.9 (sem ...

Third generation lipid emulsions were developed as a soybean oil sparing strategy with the aim to provide ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3-PUFAs) derived from fish oil (FO), such as eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and decosahexanoic acid (DHA), and reduce the amount of ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-6-PUFAs), which have been associated with negative effects on immune function and inflammator...

The effect of hydrolyzed potato protein (HPP), a natural antioxidant, on emulsion quality was investigated using a factorial design with two Fat (15%, 30%) and two HPP (0%, 2.5%) levels, with three replications. The colour of the raw emulsions as well as cooking losses, textural properties and TBARS of cooked frankfurters were measured. Increasing the Fat proportion significantly (P<0.05) incre...

Local anesthetic toxicity remains a clinical concern when performing regional anesthesia. Because signs and symptoms of toxicity may not appear for 20 to 30 minutes after administration of local anesthetic, vigilance is crucial. When signs and symptoms of local anesthetic toxicity appear, traditional standards mandate resuscitative measures, including maintenance of oxygenation, elimination of ...

BACKGROUND: Assessment of quantitative parameters using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a relevant trend. Fat fraction (FF) calculation provides new opportunities for accurate diagnosis and will replace invasive methods such as biopsy in the future. Quantification enable reliable dynamic monitoring assessment drug therapy. However, radiologists clinical specialists must be confident accurac...

This study investigated the effect of combined use sodium caseinate (CAS), commercial phosphatidylcholine (PC), and modified PCs on physical oxidative stability 70% fish oil-in-water emulsions. Caffeic acid was covalently attached to both (PCs originated from soy eggs) in order increase antioxidant activity investigate advantage bringing close proximity oil-water interface. Results showed that ...

Pre-processed foods often contain a high percentage of lipid, present as emulsions stabilised with various surface-active agents. The acidic gastric environment can affect the behaviour of such emulsions, modifying the lipid spatial distribution and, in turn, the rate of gastric emptying and nutrient delivery to the gut. The aim of the present study was to use echo-planar magnetic resonance ima...

• The effects of experimental and clinical hyperlipemia on microcirculation have been considered in discussions and hypotheses regarding the causation of fat embolism, the changes of blood lipids after trauma, and the pathophysiological responses to orally or parenterally administered fat emulsions. The mechanism by which fat embolism develops after traumata, especially fractures, has not been ...
