Fatty acids are described as long, medium or short, depending upon their chain length, and they may be saturated or unsaturated, depending upon the presence or absence of a double bond. In man, most dietary triglycerides contain long-chain fatty acids (LCT), the most important of which are...
Branched chain amino acid (BCAA) catabolic impairments have been implicated in several diseases. Branched chain ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKDH) controls the rate limiting step in BCAA degradation, the activity of which is inhibited by BCKDH kinase (BDK)-mediated phosphorylation. Screening efforts to ...

It specifically examines the role and implications of investments in supermarkets for farmer income improvement, from a value chain perspective. It also explores various mechanisms which could be used to leverage the presence of such investments in food supermarkets and analyses the role of policy and...
A test molecule, for example glyceryl 1,3-distearate-2-octanoate-1-13C, containing long-chain fatty acids in position 1 and 3 (e.g., stearic acid) and a medium-chain fatty acid (e.g., 13C-labelled octanoic acid) located in position 2, is added to a test meal. The principle of ...
Rats given a diet with 10% citrus pectin ate less and excreted in faeces more lipids and total fatty acids (FA) than their controls. They excreted greater amounts of saturated fatty acids with longer chain lengths. Excretion of the more saturated fatty acids was greater than that of the les...
Although many of known immune-regulatory diet-derived luminal metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), bile acids, and vitamins, require processing by the gut microbiota (e.g., fermen- tation of dietary fiber for SCFAs, conversion from primary to secondary bile acids, microbial ...
The total amount of each nutrient (I, Fe, Zn, Ca, Vit A, Vit D, Vit B12, and the very long-chain polyunsaturated n-3 fatty acid (n-3 LCPUFA) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)) was calculated by multiplying the estimated tons of fillet for each species provided from SSF (Table 1) with ...
Peptidases are a number ofenzymes, each one is concerned with the hydrolysis of peptide linkages between certain kinds of amino acids in the polypeptide chains to give various amino acids. Polypeptide chain→Amino acids , (Peptidases, Alkaline medium) ...
