Synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids in the slime mold Physarum polycephalum and the zooflagellates Leishmania tarentolae, Trypanosoma lewisi, and Crithidia sp.: a comparative study

Journal of Lipid Research, 1965
On the basis of the unsaturated fatty acids which they synthesize, protists can be grouped in a meaningful way. Thus, the unsaturated fatty acids of the true slime mold are identical with the unsaturated fatty acids of the soil amoebae Acanthamoeba and ...

Effect of animal and industrial trans fatty acids on HDL and LDL cholesterol levels in humans - a quantitative review [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Trans fatty acids are produced either by industrial hydrogenation or by biohydrogenation in the rumens of cows and sheep. Industrial trans fatty acids lower HDL cholesterol, raise LDL cholesterol, and increase the risk of coronary heart ...

Inverse Association between trans Isomeric and Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Pregnant Women and Their Newborns: Data from Three European Countries [PDF]

, 2011
Background: trans unsaturated fatty acids are thought to interfere with essential fatty acid metabolism. To extend our knowledge of this phenomenon, we investigated the relationship between trans isomeric and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids ...

Unsaturated fatty acids suppress interleukin-2 production and transferrin receptor expression by concanavalin A-stimulated rat Iymphocytes

Mediators of Inflammation, 1992
The proliferation of T-lymphocytes is dependent upon their ability to synthesize and secrete the cytokine, interleukin-2, and to express cell surface receptors for interleukin-2 and transferrin.

Trans-Fats Inhibit Autophagy Induced by Saturated Fatty Acids

EBioMedicine, 2018
Depending on the length of their carbon backbone and their saturation status, natural fatty acids have rather distinct biological effects. Thus, longevity of model organisms is increased by extra supply of the most abundant natural cis-unsaturated fatty ...

Unsaturated fatty acids [PDF]

, 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 ...

Unsaturated fatty acids phosphorylate and destabilize ABCA1 through a protein kinase C δ pathway

Journal of Lipid Research, 2007
Abnormal HDL metabolism among patients with diabetes and insulin resistance may contribute to their increased risk of atherosclerosis. ABCA1 mediates the transport of cholesterol and phospholipids from cells to HDL apolipoproteins and thus modulates HDL ...

Residual mitochondrial transmembrane potential decreases unsaturated fatty acid level in sake yeast during alcoholic fermentation [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Oxygen, a key nutrient in alcoholic fermentation, is rapidly depleted during this process. Several pathways of oxygen utilization have been reported in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae during alcoholic fermentation, namely synthesis of unsaturated ...

Mono-unsaturated fatty acids link H3K4me3 modifiers to C. elegans lifespan

Nature, 2017
Chromatin and metabolic states both influence lifespan, but how they interact in lifespan regulation is largely unknown. The COMPASS chromatin complex, which trimethylates lysine 4 on histone H3 (H3K4me3), regulates lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans ...

Dietary 18-carbon fatty acid unsaturation improves the muscle fiber development and meat quality of Megalobrama amblycephala

Aquaculture Reports, 2022
The study aimed to investigate the effects of four fatty acids with the same carbon-chain length and different saturations, stearic acid (SA), oleic acid (OA), linoleic acid (LA), and linolenic acid (LNA), on the growth performance and muscle quality of ...
