Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) are emerging health biomarkers, and in particular the ratio between palmitoleic acid (9cis-16:1) and palmitic acid (16:0) affords the delta-9 desaturase index that is increased in obesity. Recently, other positional and geometrical MUFA isomers belonging to the hexadecenoic family (C16 MUFA) were found in circulating lipids, such as sapienic acid (6cis-16:1), ...

This paper focused on analysis of fatty acids of erythrocytes and blood plasma in patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. For the study, fatty acids ethyl esters, obtained during sample preparation from blood plasma and erythrocytes, were analyzed by capillary gas-liquid chromatography. Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney U test (p<0.05). The conducted research ...

Fatty acid desaturase enzymes play an essential role in the synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids. Pseudomonas sp. A3 was found to produce a large amount of palmitoleic and oleic acids after incubation at low temperatures. Using polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), a novel Δ9- fatty acid desaturase gene was isolated, cloned, and successfully expressed in Escherichia coli. The gene was designated as ...

Circulating fatty acids (FA) are associated with a multitude of chronic diseases. However, a major gap in establishing such relationships is the lack of accepted fatty acid reference ranges representing healthy individuals. Data on validated FA reference ranges would provide a better understanding of study baseline measures and aid in the evaluation and interpretation of pharmaceutical or dieta...

With the prevalence of obesity and obesity-related metabolic syndrome, such as insulin resistance in recent years, it is urgent to explore effective interventions prevent progression syndrome. Palmitoleic acid a monounsaturated fatty that available from dietary sources, mainly derived marine products. plays positive role maintaining glucose homeostasis reducing inflammation. However, still unkn...

The objective of the present study was to study whether adipose tissue and prostatic tissue fatty acid composition differentiates between prostate cancer and benign hyperplasia patients. In addition, the present investigation aimed at exploring the extent to which prostatic tissue fatty acid composition differentiates between prostate-confined cancer and extraprostatic disease including possibl...

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...

BACKGROUND Viola odorata L. belongs to Violaceae family and is native to Iran. It is used in the form of Almond-Violet oil in traditional Persian medicine (TPM) since ancient times. Almond-Violet oil was used for the treatment of insomnia, headache, cough, and fever based on TPM textbooks. There are two methods for the preparation of Almond-Violet oil. The first is macerating voila flowers in s...

THO Complex 5 (THOC5) gene involves in lipid and fatty acid metabolism. The aim of this study was to analyse polymorphism THOC5 its association with composition sheep. A total 120 rams at the age 12 month average body weight 25–30 kg used for identification using Polymerase Chain Reaction- Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). 83 rams, representative from different genotypes shee...
