Monounsaturated fats and immune function [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998 Animal studies suggest that olive oil is capable of modulating functions of cells of the immune system in a manner similar to, albeit weaker than, fish oils.

Composition of the saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids of Mycobacterium phlei
Journal of Lipid Research, 1969 Combined gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry has been used to identify unusual fatty acids of Mycobacterium phlei. In addition to many normal saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, series of iso, anteiso, 10-methyl, and (n-8)-methyl ...

Ultrasound-assisted self-metathesis reactions of monounsaturated fatty acids [PDF]
Oilseeds and fats, crops and lipids, 2016 An efficient protocol for the self-metathesis of oleic acid, using ruthenium catalysts is described. The self-metathesis reaction under ultrasonic activation allows the conversion of monoenic fatty acids such as oleic acid, elaidic ...

Plant monounsaturated fatty acids: Diversity, biosynthesis, functions and uses
Progress in Lipid Research, 2022 Monounsaturated fatty acids are straight-chain aliphatic monocarboxylic acids comprising a unique carbon‑carbon double bond, also termed unsaturation. More than 50 distinct molecular structures have been described in the plant kingdom, and more remain to be discovered.

Scd1 and monounsaturated lipids are required for autophagy and survival of adipocytes
Molecular MetabolismObjective: Exposure of adipocytes to ‘cool’ temperatures often found in the periphery of the body induces expression of Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase-1 (Scd1), an enzyme that converts saturated fatty acids to monounsaturated fatty acids. The goal of this study

Areas of Monounsaturated Diacylphosphatidylcholines [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2009 We have studied the structural properties of monounsaturated diacylphosphatidylcholine lipid bilayers (i.e., diCn:1PC, where n = 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, and 24 is the number of acyl chain carbons). High-resolution x-ray scattering data were analyzed in conjunction with contrast-varied neutron scattering data using a technique we recently developed ...

Acyl–Acyl Carrier Protein Desaturases and Plant Biotic Interactions
Cells, 2021 Interactions between land plants and other organisms such as pathogens, pollinators, or symbionts usually involve a variety of specialized effectors participating in complex cross-talks between organisms.

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022 BackgroundHigh carbohydrate, i.e., sugars, intake potentially drives the liver into a lipogenic state leading to elevated plasma fatty acids. Excessive intake of saturated fat and sugar-sweetened soda induces liver fat accumulation, but studying the ...
