Quantitative extraction and determination of nonesterified fatty acids in plasma [PDF]
A method is described for the determination of nonesterified fatty acids in plasma. Extraction is at least 98% efficient, and losses during subsequent stages are corrected for by the use of an internal radioactive standard.

Nonesterified Fatty Acids, Albumin, and Platelet Aggregation [PDF]
It has been known for five decades that nonesterified fatty acids (NEFAs) have a role in the activation of platelets and thrombosis. Thus, the infusion of NEFAs leads to massive thrombosis and platelet activation (1–4). It has also been shown that their binding to albumin protects the platelets from activation (5).

Nonesterified Fatty Acids and Depression in Cancer Patients and Caregivers [PDF]
Nonesterified fatty acids (NEFAs) are known to have inflammatory effects. The inflammatory hypothesis of depression suggests that omega-3 (ω-3) and omega-6 (ω-6) fatty acids might be negatively and positively correlated with depression, respectively.An exploratory study was conducted to determine the association between dietary free fatty acids and ...

Reformulation initiative for partial replacement of saturated with unsaturated fats in dairy foods attenuates the increase in LDL cholesterol and improves flow-mediated dilatation compared with conventional dairy: the randomized, controlled REplacement of SaturatEd fat in dairy on Total cholesterol (RESET) study [PDF]
Background Modifying dairy fat composition by increasing the MUFA content is a potential strategy to reduce dietary SFA intake for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention in the population.

Perceptual Quality of Nonesterified Fatty Acids Varies with Fatty Acid Chain Length
Abstract Nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) are effective taste stimuli. The quality they impart has not been well characterized. Sourness, and “fattiness” have been reported, but an irritation component has also been described and how these transition with gradations of aliphatic chain length has not been systematically studied.

In vitro effects of nonesterified fatty acids on bovine neutrophils oxidative burst and viability [PDF]
An in vitro study was conducted to examine the influence of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) on bovine polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). Eight healthy, midlactating Holstein cows were used as blood donors.

High-fat meals rich in EPA plus DHA compared with DHA only have differential effects on postprandial lipemia and plasma 8-isoprostane F-2 alpha concentrations relative to a control high-oleic acid meal: a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Background: Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) plus docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation has beneficial cardiovascular effects, but postprandial influences of these individual fatty acids are unclear. Objectives: The primary objective was to determine the
