Background/Aims: Elevated levels of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) are under suspicion to mediate β-cell dysfunction and β-cell loss in type 2 diabetes, a phenomenon known as lipotoxicity.

Geometric-algebraic approach to aqueous solutions of diprotic acids and its buffer mixtures [PDF]
A closed-form analytical expression for $\ce{[H3O+]}$ has been obtained for aqueous solutions of diprotic acids and its soluble salts. This formula allows to calculate the pH of aqueous solutions of diprotic acids, their buffer solutions, and the titrations of these two by a strong base, from the values of p$K_1$, p$K_2$, and the effective ...

Biosynthesis rates of 13 FFAs are quantitatively calculated in 15 tissues from glucose and an analytical framework to quantitatively calculate inter‐tissue communications of fatty acids between the liver and other tissues is developed. Moreover, the approach is extended to aging condition and a system‐wide decline of fatty acid synthesis in peripheral ...

The effect of dietary calcium and other nutritionally relevant divalent cations on fatty acid-soap formation : a dissertation presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Nutritional Sciences at Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand [PDF]
A growing amount of scientific evidence appears to support a relationship between dietary calcium (Ca) and body weight where increased dietary Ca intake leads to weight reduction and the faecal excretion of several fatty acids.

Systemic Metabolomic Changes in Blood Samples of Lung Cancer Patients Identified by Gas Chromatography Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry. [PDF]
Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Metabolic alterations in tumor cells coupled with systemic indicators of the host response to tumor development have the potential to yield blood profiles with clinical utility for diagnosis and ...

Compared with those on the pTi surface, macrophages on the TNTs surface present reduced myosin II contractility, which facilitates the nuclear translocation of the UTX. This reduction decreases the enrichment of the repressive H3K27me3 histone modification at the Abca1 gene locus, which promotes the transcription and protein expression of ABCA1 ...

Effect of docosahexaenoic acid plus insulin on atherosclerotic human endothelial cells
Background Atherosclerosis is touted as one of the most critical consequences of diabetes mellitus indicated by local inflammation of endothelial cells. The Effect of Omega 3 fatty acids, mainly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), has been investigated in cells ...

Fatty acid composition of Mediterranean buffalo milk fat [PDF]
The purpose of this research was to investigate the variation in fatty acid composition of milk fat from four buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) herds under different feeding management and ration composition. Changes in milk fatty acid composition were monitored

Replication of Marek's Disease Virus Is Dependent on Synthesis of De Novo Fatty Acid and Prostaglandin E2 [PDF]
Marek’s disease virus (MDV) causes deadly lymphoma and induces an imbalance of the lipid metabolism in infected chickens. Here, we discovered that MDV activates the fatty acid synthesis (FAS) pathway in primary chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEFs).

Carbon Doping of MgB2 by Toluene and Malic-Acid-in-Toluene [PDF]
The decomposition of malic acid in the presence of Mg and B was studied using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) which revealed that malic acid reacted with Mg but not B. Also, the addition of toluene to dissolve malic acid followed by subsequent drying resulted in no reaction with Mg, indicating that the malic
