Electron microscopy was applied to study the myocardium of rats fed a diet with sunflower oil (group I), low-erucic acid rapeseed oil (group II), or high-erucic acid rapeseed oil (group III). The most severe lesions were found in group III. The rats fed sunflower oil showed slight lesions in the
The fatty acid elongase [often designated FAE or beta-(or 3-) ketoacyl-CoA synthase] is a condensing enzyme and is the first component of the elongation complex involved in synthesis of erucic acid (22:1) in seeds of garden nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus). Using a degenerate primers approach, a cDNA
Previous studies have demonstrated that cardiac myocytes in the border zone of acute myocardial infarction become markedly overloaded with neutral lipid during the transition from reversible to irreversible injury. To examine directly the role of these changes in neutral lipid metabolism in the
BACKGROUND
Adrenomyeloneuropathy is an X-linked recessive disorder characterized by myelopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and cerebral demyelination, which develop in association with the accumulation of very-long-chain fatty acids. The administration of oleic and erucic acids inhibits the synthesis of
Livers of laying hens of Hy-Line No 934E on low erucic acid rapeseed meals and rapeseed oil were studied. Gross lesions in the livers of hens on experimental diets were moderate to severe fatty degeneration, focal necrosis and moderate to severe haemorrhage. Histological examination revealed
The effect of exercise on the morphology of the myocardial and skeletal muscle, total lipid content and lipid fatty acid composition was checked in rats fed a rapeseed oil-containing diet. The graded exercise was found to reduce the growth rate of animals. Myocardial fatty degeneration was less
Hundreds died and thousands were poisoned by rapeseed oil adulterated with aniline and sold illegally in Spain in 1981. The clinical manifestations, now known as the toxic oil syndrome, include pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular hypertrophy plus widespread vascular and neural lesions in

Tropospheric ozone (O(3)) has become a serious threat to growth and yield of important agricultural crops over Asian regions including India. Effect of elevated O(3) (ambient+10ppb) was studied on Brassica campestris L. (cv. Sanjukta and Vardan) in open top chambers under natural field conditions.
With the finding of an increasing number of cases of degenerative cardiomyopathy (DCM) amongst patients in Chongqing, Sichuan, People's Republic of China, an attempt has been made to delineate possible etiological factors. In this province endemic for Keshan disease and with considerable consumption
Brassica carinata L. Braun (Ethiopian mustard) is an annual oil seed crop currently being evaluated for its potential use as a source of biofuel. Due to its high content of erucic acid, it provides a biodegradable non-fossil fuel feedstock that has many applications ranging from biofuels to other
Canola oil (CO) given as a dietary fat deteriorates hypertension-related condition and shortens the life of stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP). Although substances other than fatty acids have been presumed as causatives, CO mimics consisting of oils other than CO also shorten the
We report a Japanese family with adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) with a three base pair deletion (delGAG 291) in the ALD gene. A variety of phenotypes were observed within this family. While the proband (patient 1) was classified as having a rare intermediate type of adult cerebral and cerebello-brain
Cynomolgi (Macaca fascicularis) were fed diets containing 25% rapeseed oil (RSO), partially hydrogenated herring oil (PHHO), or a 3:1 mixture of lard and corn oil as control for 4 months. The RSO contained approximately 25% of the fatty acids as erucic acid; the PHHO contained a similar
A total of 384 Single Comb White Leghorn cockerels of the Hyline strain were fed either a basal (control) diet containing no added oil or a diet supplemented with 20% by weight of soybean oil, rapeseed oil from cultivars Tower, Candle, a mixture of Echo and Arlo high erucic acid rapeseed (HEAR), or
