Palm oil is one of the most important edible oils in the world. Its composition (rich in palmitate and oleate) make it suitable for general food uses but its utility could be increased if its fatty acid quality could be varied. In this study, we have modified a palm olein fraction by transesterification with the n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, α-linolenate or eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Evaluation...
Elevated concentrations of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) in the synovial fluids and serum of patients with arthritis have been implicated in the joint tissue destruction associated with these conditions, however studies conducted to date on the role and effects of IL-6 in the process of cartilage proteoglycan (aggrecan) catabolism are disparate. In the present study, bovine...
The increased catabolism of the cartilage proteoglycan aggrecan is a principal pathological process which leads to the degeneration of articular cartilage in arthritic joint diseases. The consequent loss of sulphated glycosaminoglycans, which are intrinsic components of the aggrecan molecule, compromises both the functional and structural integrity of the cartilage matrix and ultimately renders the...
