The metabolism of palmitic acid in the fetal lamb

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1985
[1-14C]Palmitic and [9,10-3H]palmitic acids were injected into the femoral artery of fetal sheep in utero about one month preparturition. The experiment was terminated after 5, 15 or 30 min when the main tissues were removed for analysis of the lipid components. 5 min after injection of the label, most was recovered in the plasma but increasing amounts

Cytosol binding of retinyl palmitate and palmitic acid in pigment epithelium and retina

Experimental Eye Research, 1981
Abstract A 6S protein which binds [ 14 C]retinyl palmitate is present in the soluble fraction (cytosol) of the pigment epithelium but not the retina. There is no binding of [ 14 C]retinyl palmitate by the 2S retinol receptor in either the pigment epithelium or the retina. [ 14 C]Palmitic acid is bound to a peak at 6S in pigment epithelial cytosol and

On the mechanism of palmitic acid-induced apoptosis: the role of a pore induced by palmitic acid and Ca2+ in mitochondria

Journal of Bioenergetics and Biomembranes, 2006
Palmitic acid (Pal) is known to promote apoptosis (Sparagna G et al (2000) Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 279: H2124-H2132) and its amount in blood and mitochondria increases under some pathological conditions. Yet, the mechanism of the proapoptotic action of Pal has not been elucidated.

Palmitic Acid in Early Human Development

Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 2015
Palmitic acid (16:0) is a saturated fatty acid present in the diet and synthesized endogenously. Although often considered to have adverse effects on chronic disease in adults, 16:0 is an essential component of membrane, secretory, and transport lipids, with crucial roles in protein palmitoylation and signal molecules.

Twinning in palmitic acid crystals

Journal of Crystal Growth, 1985
Abstract Palmitic acid crystals are grown by slow evaporation of the solvent (methyl alcohol-acetone mixture). In addition to the elongated crystals, cross-like twins are also observed. A shift in the position of the legs in the cross-like twins is frequently observed.

Partial synthesis and physical properties of cerebroside sulfate containing palmitic acid or α-hydroxy palmitic acid

Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 1983
Chromatographically pure galactosylceramide I3-sulfate (cerebroside sulfate (CBS)) containing palmitic acid or D-2-hydroxypalmitic acid has been prepared by the acylation of galactosylsphingosine I3-sulfate obtained from the saponification of bovine brain sulfatides.

Palmitic acid incorporation into intramuscular acylglycerols depends on both total and unbound to albumin palmitic acid concentration

Biochemistry and Cell Biology, 2003
Palmitic acid incorporation into the intramuscular acylglycerols in rat skeletal muscles of different fiber types was investigated at various total and unbound to albumin concentrations by means of the hind-limb perfusion technique. It was found that at simultaneously increasing total and unbound to albumin palmitic acid concentrations in the ...

The effect of palmitic acid on lipoprotein cholesterol levels

International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition, 2000
The present study assessed the effect of high versus low palmitic acid intakes of plasma lipoprotein cholesterol levels and on rates for endogenous synthesis of cholesterol in normal and hypercholesterolemic subjects. On day 21 of each diet treatment, a fasting blood sample was drawn for lipoprotein determination and to provide a measure of the ...

Metabolism of palmitic acid in perfused rat heart

American Journal of Physiology-Legacy Content, 1963
Metabolism of fatty acid was studied in the isolated rat heart perfused with albumin-bound palmitate-C14. Uptake of fatty acid by the heart was related to the concentration of fatty acid present and the molar ratio of fatty acid to albumin in the perfusion fluid. Disappearance of lipid-bound radioactivity from the perfusion fluid (palmitate-C14 uptake)

Effects of palmitate on astrocyte amino acid contents

Neurochemical Research, 1989
The effects of palmitate on intracellular and extracellular amino acid concentrations of cultured astrocytes was studied. Exposure of astrocytes to either 0.72 mM or 0.36 mM palmitate was associated with a significant reduction in the intracellular pool of glutamine and taurine.
