We describe a simple method in which a water-soluble mixture of triocatanoin and a surfactant, "Triton X-114," are used in preparing solutions of triglycerides (triacylglycerols) in either human serum, solutions of albumin, or water. Analytical recovery added triglyceride was quantitative by two

The lipid characterization of storage fat, subcutaneous fat and bone marrow, originated from three different bovine categories, calf, young bull and cow, was carried out in order to develop a re-use of these by-products. After the lipid extraction, the compositions in fatty acids, triacylglycerols

BACKGROUND A high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet is recommended for the prevention of atherosclerosis, because it reduces plasma cholesterol concentrations. However, such a diet can increase plasma triacylglycerol concentrations--an undesirable side effect. The addition of nondigestible carbohydrate

Phytosterols can lower LDL-cholesterol and are frequently used by the functional food industry. However, little is known regarding how phytosterol crystallisation can be controlled, despite solubilised phytosterols having improved bioaccessibility. This study investigates phytosterol crystallisation

Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 is able to degrade toxic compounds and accumulate high amounts of triacylglycerols (TAG) upon nitrogen starvation. These NADPH-dependent processes are essential for the adaptation of rhodococci to fluctuating environmental conditions. In this study, we used an MS-based,

The effect of added menadione (vitamin K3) on stored corn and wheat germ oil on the dissolution and dimerization of natural tocopherols and autoxidation of triacylglycerols was investigated. Samples of corn and wheat germ oils pure and with added menadione were stored at +20 degrees C in brown and

BACKGROUND Postprandial lipemia has been shown in a number of studies to be associated with atherosclerosis. However, the test meals used in these studies were heterogeneous particularly in their carbohydrate content, which may be important for the resulting lipemia and which makes comparison

Additives were evaluated to investigate their effects on volatility of sesamol at frying temperature with the hypothesis that the interaction between an additive and sesamol would reduce sesamol volatility. Twenty-two additive : sesamol combinations were examined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)

BACKGROUND Ion suppression is a known disadvantage in mixture analysis. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectra of crude adipose tissue extracts are dominated by triacylglycerol (TAG) signals while less abundant phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholines (PC) and

The non-linear response is generally the main limitation to the general quantitative use of evaporative light-scattering detection (ELSD). In the particular case of triacylglycerol (TG) analysis, we present a preliminary paper dealing with the use of post-column additives as a means of monitoring

Dietary lipids are hypothesized to be an important factor for carotenoid bioavailability. However, most carotenoid-rich fruits and vegetables are low in lipids. The objective of this study was to assess whether the addition of avocado fruit as a lipid source enhances carotenoid absorption in humans.

OBJECTIVE To examine the additive effect of t'ai chi (TC) to diet education on the traditional coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factor low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and on emerging CHD risk factors (apolipoprotein B and LDL particle size) in older obese women. METHODS Ancillary study

A modifying effect is established of amaranth's corn on lipid composition of pancreas and skeletal muscles of quail - content of cholesterol goes down, the level of triacylglycerols and ethers of cholesterol rises, while the quantity of general lipids and correlation of their separate fractions in

Biological α-olefins can be used as both biofuels and high value-added chemical precursors to lubricants, polymers, and detergents. The prototypic CYP152 peroxygenase family member OleT_JE from Jeotgalicoccus sp. ATCC 8456 catalyzes a single-step

BACKGROUND Elevated fasting plasma concentrations of complement component 3 (C3) are associated with elevated fasting and postprandial triacylglycerol concentrations, insulin resistance, obesity, and coronary artery disease. C3 is the central component of the complement system and the precursor of
