fatty acid, important component oflipids(fat-soluble components of living cells) in plants, animals, and microorganisms. Generally, a fatty acid consists of a straight chain of an even number ofcarbonatoms, with hydrogen atoms along the length of the chain and at one end of the chain and a...
This method measures the truefatty acid levelsin lecithins which range from 1 to 5mg of potassium hydroxide per gram. Fatty acids are added as additives to adjust the viscosity. (SeeFATTY ACIDS | Analysis.) View chapterExplore book 1. Cell and Developmental Biology of Bone Marrow by Meriem ...
Oleic acid is the precursor to monoolein, 1-monoolein (1-(cis-9-Octadecenoyl)-rac-glycerol), a major constituent lipid in biology. (Kulkarni, Wachter, Iglesias-Salto, Engelskirchen, & Ahualli, 2011) It is a centrally important component in the fields of drug delivery, emulsion stabilisation ...

The peroxisomal very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA) transporter ABCD1 is central to fatty acid catabolism and lipid biosynthesis. Its dysfunction underlies toxic cytosolic accumulation of VLCFAs, progressive demyelination, and neurological impairments inc
The primary structure of Fad4 is more related to Δ4, Δ5, Δ6 and Δ8 FADs (Additional file1: Fig. S3). However, there was no Δ6 (e.g., γ-linolenic acid, GLA) or Δ8 fatty acid detected inR. toruloidesoil. Fad4 and Fad2 share 20.5% identity at amino acid level and 44.9...
By defecating grasses into aquatic systems at massive scales and intensities, hippos can initiate complex changes to aquatic ecosystems. However, consequent effects on food webs are not well understood, particularly regarding shifts in basal resource con

SCFAs are bacterial fermentation products that are chemically composed by a carboxylic acid moiety and a small hydrocarbon chain. The most common and most studied of them are acetic, propionic, and butyric acids, which have, respectively, two, three, and four carbons in their chemical structure....
As CMs mature, the mitochondrial oxidative capacity increases, with fatty acid β-oxidation becoming a key energy source to meet the heart’s high energy demand. The immaturity of iPSC-CMs thereby limits their applications. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the energy substrate ...
