BACKGROUND: Arachidonic (20:4n-6) and docosahexaenoic (22:6n-3) acids interaction affects brain structure and function. Unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) generate oxygenated lipid-derived eicosanoids which modulate the ...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to characterize oils extracted from Bertholletia excelsa, Lecythis pisonis, Dipteryx lacunifera, Carya illinoensis and Juglans regia, regarding their characterization and fatty acid ...

Microsomal lauric acid 12-hydroxy lauric acid (ω)-hydroxylation and fatty acid peroxisomal β-oxidation were studied in kidney tissue from starved rats. Starvation increased the microsomal ω-hydroxylation and peroxisomal ...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is currently the most common form of liver disease in both adults and children, becoming the leading cause for liver transplant in many countries. Its prevalence has increased ...

Microsomal lauric acid hydroxylation and fatty acid peroxisomal β-oxidation were studied in hepatic subcellulant preparations from streptozotocin-induced diabetic and diabetic insulin-treated rats. The liver microsomes of ...

1. Microsomal P450 and peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation activities were studied in liver of rats after long-term ethanol consumption. 2. Ethanol increased the microsomal lauric acid ω-hydroxylation and the aminopyrine ...

This study aimed to characterize the seeds of oranges, varieties Hamlin, Natal, Pera-rio and Valencia, on the composition and physico-chemical properties of its oil through the determination of free fatty acids, peroxide ...
