litchi litchi/triacylglycerol

Cyclopropane fatty acids (CPAs) are useful feedstocks for biofuels and bioproducts such as lubricants and biodiesel. Our goal is to identify factors that can facilitate the accumulation of CPA in seed triacylglycerol (TAG) storage oil. We hypothesized that the poor metabolism of CPA through the TAG

UNASSIGNED This report describes the most extensive known gene discovery study from an oilseed that produces cyclopropane fatty acids, a novel industrial feedstock. Nature contains hundreds of examples of plant species that accumulate unusual fatty acids in seed triacylglycerols (TAG). Although

Dyslipidemias are associated with the incidence of cardiovascular diseases, obesity, diabetes, hypertension and hepatic steatosis, being the cause of morbidity and mortality. This study investigated the effects of lychee peel flour (PF) on serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density

SlimTrym® is a formulated product composed of citrus polymethoxyflavones (PMFs), green tea extract, and lychee extract. We investigated the effect of dietary SlimTrym® on diet-induced obesity and associated non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in mice. Male C57BL/6 mice were fed a normal diet

OBJECTIVE To investigate the pharmacological mechanism of Semen Litchi water extract (SL) on enhancing insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetic rats (T2DR) with insulin resistance (IR). METHODS The effects of SL were observed on serum contents of fasting glucose (FSG), blood urea nitrogen (BUN),
