The in vivo effects of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), S-allyl cysteine, S-ethy cysteine (SEC), S-methyl cysteine (SMC), and S-propyl cysteine (SPC) against hyperlipidemia development and oxidation stress in Balb/cA mice consuming a high saturated fat diet were examined. The influence of these agents on plasma levels of glucose, insulin, uric acid, TG, cholesterol, and the activity of three lipogenic enzymes—glucose-6-phosphate...
We have previously reported the cloning of castor diacylglycerol acyltransferase (RcDGAT) based on its homology to other plant type 1 diacylglycerol acyltransferases (DGATs). To elucidate the physiological role of the RcDGAT, we have investigated the regulation of RcDGAT expression in developing seeds of castor. The RcDGAT transcript appeared at 12 d after pollination (DAP), reached the highest level...
Raman spectroscopy has been used to predict the abundance of the FA in clarified butterfat that was obtained from dairy cows fed a range of levels of rapeseed oil in their diet. Partial least squares regression of the Raman spectra against FA compositions obtained by GC showed that good prediction of the five major (abundance >5%) FA gave R2=0.74–0.92 with a SE of prediction (RMSEP) that was 5–7%...
It has been reported that, compared with TAG, DAG suppresses postprandial hypertriacylglycerolemia and reduces visceral fat levels in experimental animals and humans. To clarify the mechanism responsible for these beneficial effects, we compared the lymphatic transport of 1,3-DAG, a major isomer of DAG, and TAG in rats. Male SD rats, after insertion of a cannula into the thoracic duct, were given...
The quantification of PC hydroperoxide (PCOOH) in human plasma was studied by HPLC with chemiluminescence detection (HPLC-CL). We identified for the first time the monohydroperoxide of 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-PC hydroperoxide (PC 16∶0/18∶2-OOH) in plasma by LC-MS and HPLC-CL. The standard compound, PC 16∶0/18∶2-OOH (synthetic PCOOH), as well as PCOOH from egg yolk, was used. Comparison of the PCOOH...
Biomimetic oxidation of unactivated carbons for structurally different steroids was studied with a model of cytochrome P-450, oxorutheniumporphyrinate complex, which is generated in situ by 2,6-dichloropyridine N-oxide as an oxygen donor and (5,10,15,20-tetramesitylporphyrinate) ruthenium(II) carbonyl complex and HBr as catalysts. The O-insertion positions depended significantly on specific structural...
Fish easily accumulate n−3 PUFA of exogenous origin, but the underlying mechanisms are not well established in the whole animal. This study was undertaken to investigate whether this feature was physiologically associated with mitochondrial and peroxisomal capacities that differentially affect FA oxidation. For this purpose, peroxisomal FA oxidation was increased by treating rainbow trout with fenofibrate,...
We compared the effects of three different high-lipid diets on plasma lipoproteins and phospholipids in mink (Mustela vison). The 18 mink studied were fed one of the three diets during a 25-d period in a parallel group design. The compared diets had 0,17, and 67% extracted lipids from natural gas-utilizing bacteria (LNGB), which were rich in PE. The group with 0% LNGB was fed a diet for which the...
This study uses normal-phase HPLC with on-line positive ion electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) to obtain quantitative compositional data on both synthetic and butterfat short-chain TAG. The product ion tandem MS of standards averaged 11.1 times lower in abundance of the ion formed by cleavage of FA from the sn-2-position for the pairs of regioisomers in the TAG classes: L/L/S-L/S/L and L/S/S-S/L/S,...
Novel ceramides, rel-(3S,4S,5S)-3-[(2R)-2-hydroxycosanoyl-hexacosanoylamino]-4-hydroxy-5-[(4Z)-tetradecane-4-ene]-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrofuran (1a-g), and a new glucoceramide, 1-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(2S,3S,4R,8E)-2-[(2R)-2-hydroxytetracosanoylamino]-1,3,4-octodecanetriol-8-ene (2) were isolated from the aqueous ethanolic extract of the roots of Incarvillea arguta, together with eight known compounds: β-sitosterol...
Iron-catalyzed lipid peroxidation was examined using 1H NMR in a biphasic aqueous-chloroform system. At physiological pH (7.4), mole ratios of phospholipids/Fe3+ as low as 1300∶1 catalyzed the rapid disappearance of endogenous lipid hydroperoxides with a loss of two of the four double bonds in PC containing palmitic (16∶0) and arachidonic (20∶4) acids in the sn-1 and sn-2 positions, respectively....
The effects of EPA and DHA on the function and gene expression of a B-lymphocyte cell line (Raji) were investigated. Proliferation; production of interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and interferon (INF)-γ; and expression of pleiotropic genes were evaluated. Cell proliferation was increased in the presence of 12.5 μM EPA (approximately twofold) and 12.5 μM DHA (approximately 1.5-fold)...
