Fatty acid composition of human milk (HM) is known to change considerably during lactation. However, we were unable to find data on changes of fatty acid composition of HM during the very early phase of lactation, i.e. in the first week... more
a b s t r a c t X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is the most frequent inherited monogenic demyelinating disease (minimal incidence 1:17,000). It is often lethal and currently lacks a satisfactory therapy. The disease is caused by... more
Peroxisomes play an essential role in cellular lipid metabolism as exemplified by the existence of a number of genetic diseases in humans caused by the impaired function of one of the peroxisomal enzymes involved in lipid metabolism. Key... more
High pressure homogenization (HPH) was tested for inducing autolysis in a commercial strain of Saccharomyces bayanus for winemaking. The effects on cell viability, the release of soluble proteins, glucidic colloids and amino acids in... more
The pulp and paper industry generates significant amounts of waste from various processes consisting of organic and inorganic matter. Due to its composition, the management of pulp and paper mill sludge presents an economic burden for... more
Many healthy subjects and patients are taking natural bioactive products for the prevention and treatment of multiple conditions, including gastrointestinal disorders. Based on current evidence, the scientific validity of the use of many... more
We have devised an analytical method for the determination of fatty acid composition of erythrocyte membrane sphingomyelin by chemical ionization mass spectrometry combined with capillary column gas-liquid chromatography. Fatty acid... more
Corrigendum to "Ac-FAR-1, a 20 kDa fatty acid-and retinol-binding protein secreted by adult Ancylostoma caninum hookworms: Gene transcription pattern, ligand binding properties and structural characterization" [Mol. Biochem. Parasitol. 126
Phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis of a soil microbial community was coupled with 13C isotope tracer analysis to measure the community’s response to addition of 35 μg of [13C]toluene ml of soil solution−1. After 119 h of incubation... more
We read with interest the study by Scavone et al. 1 that demonstrates the absence of efficacy of a prophylactic epidural blood patch after inadvertent dural puncture. We suggest that two factors could have influenced the negative result... more
Time for primary review: 15 days Aims A complex set of metabolic and inflammatory processes are involved in the development of cardiac hypertrophy. Accumulating evidence indicates an important role for Sirt1 in cardiac function, whereas... more
In recent years, the adipose tissue has emerged as an important endocrine organ. It is now recognized that besides storing energy the adipocytes also secrete several bioactive peptides, collectively called adipocytokines. Among these... more
Ketosis induced by starvation or feeding a ketogenic diet have widespread and often contradictory effects due to the simultaneous elevation of both ketone bodies and free fatty acids. While the elevation of ketone bodies increase the... more
A novel high-rate anaerobic reactor, called ''Buoyant Filter Bioreactor'' (BFBR), has been developed for treating lipid-rich complex wastewater. The BFBR is able to decouple the biomass and insoluble COD retention time from the hydraulic... more
SYNOPSIS. An age-autolyzed culture of Chroomonas salina, grown under cool-white light with glycerol, produced waxy lipid constituting about 44% of total matter harvested. This lipid was composed of 87% wax ester, 9% triglyceride, 3% polar... more
The entire pathway of palmitate synthesis from malonyl-CoA in mammals is catalyzed by a single, homodimeric, multifunctional protein, the fatty acid synthase. Each subunit contains three N-terminal domains, the β-ketoacyl synthase,... more
Precursor compounds for abiotic proto cellular membranes are necessary for the origin of life. Amphipathic compounds such as fatty acids and acyl glycerols are important candidates for micelle/bilayer/vesicle formation. Two sets of... more
Background: Growing evidence shows the potential of nutritional interventions to treat obesity but most investigations have utilized non-digestible carbohydrates only. Peach and plum contain high amounts of polyphenols, compounds with... more
This pilot study of ethyl-eicosapentaenoate (ethyl-EPA) in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease aimed to estimate the magnitude of any change in measures of cognition during a 12-week treatment period. A simple linear design was used in... more
The human body is exposed nowadays to increasing attacks by toxic compounds in polluted air, industrially processed foods, alcohol and drug consumption that increase liver toxicity, leading to more and more severe cases of hepatic... more
The incorporation of radiolabeled palmitic (16 : 0)t. oleic (18 : 1 ), and docosahexaenoic (22 : 6) acids into different molecular species of membrane phospholipids was investigated in isolated bovine rod outer segments (ROS).... more
A Gram-positive, spore-forming, halophilic bacterial strain, FP5 T , was isolated from a salt lake in southern Spain and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Strain FP5 T was strictly aerobic. Cells were coccoidal, occurring singly... more
Four orange-pigmented isolates, L7-456, L7-484T, L9-479 and L9-753T, originating from surface-sterilized leaf tissues of Jatropha curcas L. cultivars were characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Phylogenetic analyses based on... more
Gaiella occulta gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel representative of a deep branching phylogenetic lineage within the class Actinobacteria and proposal of Gaiellaceae fam. nov. and Gaiellales ord. nov. ଝ
The objective of this study was to assess how probiotic bacteria added to diets of 60 hybrid barrows (Landrace-Yorkshire x Duroc) affected the basic chemical composition of meat, the fatty acid profile of intramuscular fat (IMF), m.... more
Currently, the lipid content of fish feeds includes high amounts of terrestrial vegetable oils, rich in n-6 fatty acids and poor in n-3 fatty acids. Sinking organic matter in the shape of fragmented pellets and fish faeces could be... more
Self-aggregation of mixed binary nonionic and ionic surfactants comprising N -methyl-N -decanoyl glucamide (MEGA 10) and alkyltrimethylammonium bromides (C 12 -, C 14 -, and C 16 TAB) has been investigated in detail by different physical... more
