Effect of oleic acid supplementation on prostaglandin production in maternal endometrial and fetal allantochorion cells isolated from late gestation ewes [PDF]
Elevated circulating non-esterified fatty acids including oleic acid (OA) are associated with many pregnancy related complications. Prostaglandins (PGs) play crucial roles during parturition.

Increased myocardial susceptibility to repetitive ischemia with high-fat diet-induced obesity. [PDF]
Obesity and diabetes are frequently associated with cardiovascular disease. When a normal heart is subjected to brief/sublethal repetitive ischemia and reperfusion (I/R), adaptive responses are activated to preserve cardiac structure and function.

Plasma acylcarnitine profiling indicates increased fatty acid oxidation relative to tricarboxylic acid cycle capacity in young, healthy low birth weight men [PDF]
We hypothesized that an increased, incomplete fatty acid beta‐oxidation in mitochondria could be part of the metabolic events leading to insulin resistance and thereby an increased type 2 diabetes risk in low birth weight (LBW) compared with normal birth

The influence of placental metabolism on fatty acid transfer to the fetus
The factors determining fatty acid transfer across the placenta are not fully understood. This study used a combined experimental and computational modeling approach to explore placental transfer of nonesterified fatty acids and identify the rate ...

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.

Overestimation of Plasma Nonesterified Fatty Acid Concentrations in Heparinized Blood [PDF]
To the Editor: With much interest have we read the important study on the use of glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) in diabetic patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting by Lazar and coworkers.1 A potential mechanism underlying the beneficial effect of GIK administration includes metabolic modulation of (post)ischemic myocardium.

Preeclampsia is associated with compromized maternal synthesis of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids leading to offspring deficiency [PDF]
Obesity and excessive lipolysis are implicated in preeclampsia (PE). Intrauterine growth restriction is associated with low maternal body mass index and decreased lipolysis.

Saturated Fats: Time to Assess Their Beneficial Role in a Healthful Diet
Saturated fats are widely seen as undesirable components of a healthy diet, as a result of their illusory association with elevated serum cholesterol. The regulation of serum cholesterol is now better understood and a lack of polyunsaturated fatty acids,
