Monounsaturated Fatty Acids in Obesity-Related Inflammation. [PDF]
Obesity is an important aspect of the metabolic syndrome and is often associated with chronic inflammation. In this context, inflammation of organs participating in energy homeostasis (such as liver, adipose tissue, muscle and pancreas) leads to the recruitment and activation of macrophages, which secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Composition of the saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids of Mycobacterium phlei
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 ...

Comparison of the effects of monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids on the lipotoxicity of islets. [PDF]
BackgroundMonounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been reported to combat saturated fatty acid (SFA)-induced cellular damage, however, their clinical effects on patients with metabolic diseases such as diabetes and hyperlipidemia are still controversial.

Plasma Saturated and Monounsaturated Fatty Acids in Behçet's Disease. [PDF]
Background:Fatty Acid (FA) composition of serum has been associated with many markers of inflammation. In this study, we tried to examine plasma Saturated Fatty Acid (SFA) and Monounsaturated Fatty Acid (MUFA) composition in Behçet's Disease (BD) patients.

Plant monounsaturated fatty acids: Diversity, biosynthesis, functions and uses
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.

Dietary monounsaturated fatty acids in relation to risk of gastric cancer. [PDF]
Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) are considered healthy fats with a single double bond in the constituent fatty acids and have antioxidant properties, cholesterol-lowering properties, and ability to reduce chronic inflammation. Evidence regarding the effect of MUFA intake on gastric cancer risk is inconclusive among diverse populations.

Fatty Acid Composition of Meat Animals as Flavor Precursors
This article provides an overview of fatty acids in meat, their variation among animal species, and the roles of fatty acids as flavor precursors. Animal fat mostly consists of triglycerides and phospholipids. Fats from ruminant (cattle, sheep, and goats)
