DIETARY POLYUNSATURATED FATS AND MALIGNANT MELANOMA

Medical Journal of Australia, 1980
The consumption of polyunsaturated fat of a group of patients with malignant melanoma was compared to that of various groups of control subjects to determine whether such dietary fats predispose to the development of malignant melanoma. The results are tabulated with reference to various associated factors, and a statistical assessment of their ...

Polyunsaturated fats, membrane lipids and animal longevity

Journal of Comparative Physiology B, 2013
Fatty acids are essential for life because they are essential components of cellular membranes. Lower animals can synthesize all four classes of fatty acids from non-lipid sources, but both omega-6 and omega-3 cannot be synthesized de novo by 'higher' animals and are therefore essential components of their diet.

Polyunsaturated fat, cholesterol and large bowel tumorigenesis

Cancer, 1977
The possibility that the disposition of cholesterol, which is influenced by the quality of dietary fat, may be associated with either vascular lipidosis or colon cancer was evaluated in this study. Rats were fed diets containing cholesterol plus a) saturated fat, 20% coconut oil, to elevate serum cholesterol and promote vascular lipidosis or b ...

Cholesterol vs Polyunsaturated Fats in Atherosclerosis

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1970
Excerpt To the editor: Although cholesterol certainly enters into the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis (Dayton and associates,Ann Intern Med72:97-109, 1970), I question its etiologic significance.

Dietary fat composition and tocopherol requirement: IV. Safety of polyunsaturated fats

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, 1973
AbstractIn a long‐term multigeneration study, conducted in our laboratories for 32‐years, with occasional longevity and histopathological evaluations included, rats of our own inbred strain (originally of Wistar derivation) were fed semisynthetic diets comprising whole wheat, skim milk powder, and fat in the form of margarine products.

Conjugation of polyunsaturated fats with dimsylsodium

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, 1973
AbstractThe conjugation of polyunsaturated fatty esters, including soybean oil, trilinolein, soybean methyl esters, and methyl linolenate and linoleate, with the sodium salt of dimethyl sulfoxide (dimsylsodium) as catalyst has been investigated. Methyl esters are ca. 95% conjugated within 2 hr.

Polyunsaturated Fats and Learning

1997
When I was first approached to contribute a chapter to this volume I was reluctant to do so, because I am not an “expert” in the field of fatty acids research. Instead, most of my professional career has been devoted to studying the role that various brain neurotransmitters play in regulating food intake and body weight homeostasis.

Dietary polyunsaturated fat versus saturated fat in relation to mammary carcinogenesis

Lipids, 1979
AbstractHigh levels of dietary fat have been shown to promote the development of mammary tumors induced in rats by 7,12‐dimethylbenz(α)anthracene, and polyunsaturated fats were found to be more effective than saturated fats. In further studies it was found that diets containing 3% sunflowerseed oil (polyunsaturated fat) and 17% beef tallow or coconut ...

Saturated and polyunsaturated fats

1981
Dietary fats consist of mixed triglycerides which are formed by the esterification of glycerol with saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (See Chapter 1). Fats are said to be saturated if they contain a sizable proportion of saturated fatty acids, as compared with unsaturated fats which are rich in unsaturated fatty acids.
