Unsaturated Fatty Acids and Their Immunomodulatory Properties
Biology, 2023 Oils are an essential part of the human diet and are primarily derived from plant (or sometimes fish) sources. Several of them exhibit anti-inflammatory properties. Specific diets, such as Mediterranean diet, that are high in ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and ω-9 monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) have even been shown to exert an overall ...

Unsaturated Fatty Acids and Pain
Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2011 Fatty acids, which are the essential nutrients for humans, are an important source of energy and an essential component of cell membranes. They also function as signal transduction molecules in a range of biological phenomena. Recently, an increasing number of physiologic and pharmacologic reports on fatty acids have improved our understanding of the ...

Proceedings of the Nutrition Society, 1999 There is good scientific evidence that dietary fatty acid composition is involved in the aetiology of many diseases. Increasing the supply of n−3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) may reduce the risk of CHD. Several scientific organizations (for example, see Department of Health, 1991, 1994; British Nutrition Foundation, 1992; Scientific Committee for

, 2016 Fatty acids are long-chain hydrocarbons. They are called unsaturated fatty acids when they lack the maximum possible number of hydrogen atoms attached to every carbon atom. For example, if stearic acid, which has 18 carbon atoms and frequently occurs in animal and plant fats, is missing 2 hydrogen atoms, then a double bond is present and the resulting ...

Effects of Unsaturated Fatty Acids on the Morphogenesis of an Unsaturated Fatty Acid Auxotroph of Escherichia coli [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1981 Supplementation of linoleate or linolenate in a culture medium caused abnormal morphogenesis in an unsaturated fatty acid auxotroph of Escherichia coli K-12.

Polymerization of Unsaturated Fatty Acids. II.
Journal of Japan Oil Chemists' Society, 1964 The polymerization of methyl linoleate in the presence of aluminium halides, AlI3, AlBr3, AlCl3 and AlF3 at 300°C was studied. The result shows that only aluminium iodide among the halides promotes the polymerization. The effects of reaction conditions on the polymerization of methyl linoleate with aluminium iodide were studied further.

Fatty acid desaturation in lung: inhibition by unsaturated fatty acids
Journal of Lipid Research, 1980 The activity of the enzyme system involved in desaturation of palmitic and stearic acid has been examined in lungs of rats fed fat-free diets supplemented either with 4% safflower oil (controls) or 4% tripalmitin (essential fatty acid (EFA) deficient) both in vivo and in vitro in lung slices.

Homogeneously catalysed hydrogenation of unsaturated fatty acids to unsaturated fatty alcohols [PDF]
Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, 1965 AbstractThe use of copper and cadmium oxides or soaps as catalysts for the hydrogenation of unsaturated fatty acids to unsaturated fatty alcohols has been investigated. It is shown that copper soaps homogeneously activate hydrogen. When copper and cadmium oxides are used as catalysts, they react with the acid under formation of a homogeneous soap ...

Studies on the Unsaturated Lower Fatty Acids. On the Crystalline Derivatives of the Unsaturated Lower Fatty Acids [PDF]
Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, 1937 Abstract (1) It is recognized that the tetradecenoic acid of “Tohaku” oil is tsuzuic acid. (2) The authors have prepared pure obtusilic, linderic, and tetra-decenoic acids from the “Tohaku” oil, and have determined their physical properties and the melting points of their crystalline derivatives.

Studies on the Isomerization of Unsaturated Fatty Acids. II.
Journal of Japan Oil Chemists' Society, 1960 It is known that the unsaturated fatty acids in natural fats and oils are generally produced in cis-form. However, these acids change from cis to trans-form by physical or chemical treatments, -heat, light and various catalysts. The purpose is to study the origin and mechanism of these isomerizations.The fatty acid methyl ester of linseed oil was used ...
