The effect of dietary cod liver oil, corn oil or butter upon the lipid composition of cardiac sarcolemma and the activity of sarcolemmal Na+, K+ ATPase was examined in male Wistar rats. The cod liver oil diet caused significant changes in the fatty acid composition of the major phospholipids of
Two nutritional models, essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiency and the feeding of saturated vs unsaturated fats, were used to determine the effects of dietary lipids on the fatty acid composition of rat lung and lavage. Semipurified diets containing 7% corn oil, 7% hydrogenated coconut oil
Changes in lipid composition were followed as a proplastid develops into a chloroplast. Methods were devised for the isolation of developing proplastids from sections of five different ages from the same 7-day-old maize (Zea mays var. Kelvedon Glory) leaf. Electron micrographs illustrate the
Successive leaf sections from the base to the tip of rapidly developing leaves of 7-day-old maize (Zea mays var. Kelvedon Glory), grown in the light, utilized acetate for fatty acid biosynthesis in a very divergent manner. Basal regions of the leaf containing proplastids synthesized insignificant
We have studied the effects of semisynthetic diets containing 5% by weight (12% of the energy) of either olive oil (70% oleic acid, OA) or corn oil (58% linoleic acid), or fish oil (Max EPA, containing about 30% eicosapentaenoic, EPA C 20:5 n-3, plus docosahexaenoic, DHA C 22:6 n-3, acids, and less
The limited efficiency with which dietary alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is converted by hens into docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) for egg deposition is not clearly understood. In this study, dietary ALA levels were increased via the inclusion of hempseed (HS) and hempseed oil (HO) in hen diets, with the
Chylomicrons from the thoracic duct lymph of dogs fed corn oil were isolated by centrifugation and disrupted by either freezing and thawing or rotary evaporation and rehydration. A pellet, representing the surface coat, was isolated by centrifugation. Pellets isolated by freezing and thawing
Oil feeding is known to increase the secretion of intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) into serum and this phenomenon is shown to be mediated by surfactant-like particles. These lipoprotein particles are secreted by enterocytes and are rich in phosphatidyl choline and IAP. The exact mechanisms
The present study describes the rapid alterations in the fatty acid patterns of phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl ethanolamine from rat liver mitochondria induced by corn oil feeding to EFA-deficient rats. Simultaneous changes occurring with comparable rates were observed in the swelling
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the role of n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in coronary heart disease (CHD). The level of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids in plasma and cardiac phospholipids was examined in relation to CHD in man. The fatty acid profile of cardiac phospholipids was also
Butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT), 800 mg/kg body weight, dissolved in corn oil and administered (ip) in a single injection to male rats, damaged the lung as indicated by an increase in lavage ACE, protein and LDH and caused a significant increase in phospholipid, particularly, phosphatidyl choline
Lipid compositions of undifferentiated maize (Zea mays) chloroplasts, capable of fixing CO(2), were compared with the lipid compositions of mature chloroplasts, which do not fix CO(2), located in both the mesophyll and bundle sheath cells. The major lipids found in all three chloroplast types were
The nutritional value of a micro-encapsulated fish oil product has been investigated. Three groups of 10 male Wistar rats each were fed diets containing 20% (w/w) of fat, and only the type and form of the fat added was different. In the test groups 5% (w/w) of fish oil either as such or in a
In humans, antidiabetics thiazolidinediones (TZDs) upregulate stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) gene in adipose tissue and increase plasma levels of SCD1 product palmitoleate, known to enhance muscle insulin sensitivity. Involvement of other tissues in the beneficial effects of TZDs on plasma lipid
