Triacylglycerol metabolism by lymphocytes and the effect of triacylglycerols on lymphocyte proliferation [PDF]
This study investigates the ability of lymphocytes to utilize fatty acids originating from triacylglycerols and the effect of triacylglycerols upon mitogen-stimulated lymphocyte proliferation. Lymphocytes isolated from rat lymph nodes, spleen, thymus and lymphatic duct had a lipoprotein lipase activity of approx. 10 units/mg of protein, indicating that

Triacylglycerols in Dairy Foods
Triacylglycerols (TAGs) are the major component of milk fat, accounting for 97%–98% of the total lipids. Their composition is extremely complex due to the many different fatty acids (FAs) that can be esterified in the three positions on the L-glycerol molecule, which leads to the formation of a large number of TAG regiospecific and stereospecific ...

Relationship between plasma sialic acid and fibinogen concentration and incident micro-and macrovascular complications in type 1 diabetes [PDF]
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Type 1 diabetes is associated with an increased risk of vascular complications. This increased risk could be explained by sialic acid and/or fibrinogen.

Advances in Plant Lipid Metabolism Responses to Phosphate Scarcity
Low phosphate (Pi) availability in soils severely limits crop growth and production. Plants have evolved to have numerous physiological and molecular adaptive mechanisms to cope with Pi starvation.

Structural basis of the chiral selectivity of Pseudomonas cepacia lipase [PDF]
To investigate the enantioselectivity of Pseudomonas cepacia lipase, inhibition studies were performed with SC- and RC-(RP,SP)-1,2-dialkylcarbamoylglycero-3-O-p-nitrophenyl alkylphosphonates of different alkyl chain lengths. P.

Simulation of triacylglycerol ion profiles: bioinformatics for interpretation of triacylglycerol biosynthesis [PDF]
Although the synthesis pathways of intracellular triacylglycerol (TAG) species have been well elucidated, assessment of the contribution of an individual pathway to TAG pools in different mammalian organs, particularly under pathophysiological conditions, is difficult, although not impossible.

Tetradecylthioacetic acid (a 3-thia fatty acid) decreases triacylglycerol secretion in CaCo-2 cells.
The effects of the hypolipidemic fatty acid analogue tetradecylthioacetic acid (TTA) on synthesis and secretion of lipoproteins in CaCo-2 cells were studied. Radiolabeled tetradecylthioacetic acid was absorbed and metabolized as efficiently as oleic acid,
