introduction: nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) is a global disease which its prevalence is about 10-35%. several factors are involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. the present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of fasting during ramadan on plasma free fatty acids in patients with nafld.methods: this cross-sectional study was performed during the month of ramadan in june-ju...

background: co-supplementation of unsaturated fatty acids (fas) with saturated fas may decrease the adverse effects of saturated fa-induced lipotoxicity. the objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of palmitoleic acid (unsaturated fatty acid) on palmitic acid (saturated fatty acid) induced lipotoxicity criteria in the primary culture of adult rat cardiomyocytes. methods: cells...

Background: Co-supplementation of unsaturated fatty acids (FAs) with saturated FAs may decrease the adverse effects of saturated FA-induced lipotoxicity. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of palmitoleic acid (unsaturated fatty acid) on palmitic acid (saturated fatty acid) induced lipotoxicity criteria in the primary culture of adult rat cardiomyocytes. Methods: Ce...

novel edible emulsified films were made using pistachio globulin protein (pgp) and palmitic fatty acid at concentrations of 2, 4, and 6 % w/w protein by tween-80 and homogenization technique. addition of palmitic acid to the pgp filmogenic solution resulted in great reduction of wvp in the emulsified films (37-40 %). concentration of palmitic acid did not create significant difference (p>0.05) ...

Background & Aims: Lipotoxicity is the process through which accumulation of lipid intermadiates leads to cellular dysfunction. The worldwide prevalence of cardiovascular diseases has been increased dramatically due to lipotoxicity. According to the peformed studies, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids differ significantly in their contributions to lipotoxicity. It has been r...

The distribution of long-chain saturated fatty acids in triglycerides is different in infant formulas to that in human milk. In human milk, palmitic acid is predominantly esterified in the sn-2 position (beta-position) of the triglycerides, whereas in infant formulas, it is esterified mainly in the sn-1,3 positions (alpha,alpha'-positions). The specific distribution of the fatty acids in the tr...
