stearic acid/zea mays

There have been few studies on the effect of cottonseed oil (CSO), one of the most commonly used vegetable oils in the United States, on indices of lipid status either in the rat or in any other species. Previous studies with rats have focused on the effect of CSO, versus that of other vegetable

Stearic acid (C18:0) is a long chain dietary saturated fatty acid that has been shown to reduce metastatic tumor burden. Based on preliminary observations and the growing evidence that visceral fat is related to metastasis and decreased survival, we hypothesized that dietary stearic acid may reduce

We investigated modes whereby stearic acid (18:0) exerts a neutral or cholesterol-lowering effect using dietary fats which provided graded levels of 18:0 and distinct triacylglycerol (TAG) profiles. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (150-175 g) were fed diets containing 0.2% cholesterol and 16% fat from corn

The comparative bioavailability of cocoa butter (a predominantly saturated fat) and corn oil (a predominantly unsaturated fat) was determined in male Sprague-Dawley rats by analysis of total fecal lipids following ad libitum feeding of purified diets containing 5, 10 and 20% cocoa butter or corn oil

Malondialdehyde (MA) formed in linolenic acid, linoleic acid, corn oil and beef fat upon photoirradiation was determined by gas chromatography (GC). The MA produced was reacted with methylhydrazine to give 1-methylpyrazole and was subsequently analyzed on a GC equipped with a nitrogen-phosphorus

Twenty-eight Angus steers (289 kg) were finished on a high-concentrate diet (85% concentrate: 15% roughage; CONC), or endophyte-free tall fescue pastures with corn grain supplement (0.52% of BW; PC), corn oil plus soybean hull supplement (0.10% of BW corn oil plus 0.45% of BW soybean hulls; PO), or

Previously, we described a priming effect of α-linolenic acid (LnA) on anti-herbivore defense response in maize seedlings. 1 We showed that exogenous application of LnA stimulated higher jasmonic acid (JA) accumulation and herbivore-induced plant volatile (HIPV) emission after treatment with insect

The modulatory effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on urinary tract tumorigenesis of 275 Wistar rats were evaluated by treating animals with the tumorigenic agent melamine. Rats were fed with formulae containing 6% of 4 varieties of fats: fish oil enriched in n-3 PUFA (FO), corn oil

A total of 24 crossbred barrows were used in a 19-d metabolism trial to determine the effect of dietary structured triacylglycerides synthesized by the random reesterification of medium-chain triacylglycerides (MCT) and menhaden oil on growth performance, nitrogen retention, and apparent

Androstenedione, an anabolic steroid used to enhance athletic performance, was administered in corn oil by gastric intubation once daily in the morning to nonpregnant female rats at a dose of 5 or 60 mg/kg/day, beginning two weeks before mating and continuing through gestation day (GD) 19. On GD 20,

We studied the effects of addition of physiological concentrations (0.5 mM) of fatty acids i.e., palmitic (16:0), stearic (18:0), oleic (18:1) and linoleic acid (18:2) on lipoprotein secretion by polarized Caco-2 cells. With saturated fatty acids, secreted lipoproteins were at IDL/LDL density, 1.009

The effects of dietary fat saturation on the metabolism of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) subfractions were measured in adult male guinea pigs fed semipurified diets containing 15% (wt/wt) corn oil (CO; 58% linoleic acid), lard (24% palmitic/14% stearic acid), or palm kernel oil (PK; 52% lauric/18%

Adult (5 months) male Sherman strain rats received a single dose of either 0 or 500 mg polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) in corn oil/kg body weight by stomach tube. After an 18-month recovery period, serum and liver samples were examined. The primary serum lipid response was an increase in cholesterol

Endothelial cell integrity has been suggested to play a role in the development of atherosclerosis. The effects of fatty acids on endothelial barrier function were tested by measuring albumin transport across endothelial monolayers cultured on polycarbonate filters. Compared with control cultures, a

The dietary dose responsiveness of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) addition relative to the fatty acid profile of edible lean tissue was examined in grower pigs treated with or without porcine somatotropin (pST). Gilts and barrows were fed CLA at 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, or 2.0% of diet by weight from 20
