A long-term estrogen deficiency in ovariectomized mice is associated with disturbances in fatty acid oxidation and oxidative stress

Abstract Objective The aim of this work was to evaluate the changes caused by estrogen deficiency in lipid metabolism. Methods This study encompassed direct measurements of plasma biochemical analyses, liver lipid contents, and assessments of the mitochondrial β-oxidation capacity as well as an ...

Effect of somatic cell count on composition and hygiene indicators of bulk tank milk

This study evaluated the effect of somatic cell count (SCC) on composition and hygienic quality of dairy herd bulk tank milk – specifically, the effect of SCC of bulk tank of dairy herds on composition (fat, protein, total solids, nonfat dry solids) and on total bacterial count (TBC), psychrotrophic co...

Fatty acid composition from the marine red algae Pterocladiella capillacea (S. G. Gmelin) Santelices & Hommersand 1997 and Osmundaria obtusiloba (C. Agardh) R. E. Norris 1991 and its antioxidant activity

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 90 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the chemical composition and antioxidant activity of fatty acids from the marine red algae Pterocladiella capillacea (S. G. Gmelin) Santelices & Hommersand 1997 and Osmundaria obtusiloba (C. Agardh) R. E. Norris 1991. The gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) iden...

The Effect of Ferrous Nano-oxide Particles on Physiological Traits and Nutritional Compounds of Soybean ( Glycine max L) Seed

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 90 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Soybean (Glycine max L.) seed contains amounts of protein, lipid, carbohydrate and mineral elements, which protein and lipid have been known as a main part for soybean's trade value. In this study, in order to investigate the effect of ferrous nano-oxide particles on nutritional compounds of soy...

Padrões alimentares, nutrientes do metabolismo do folato e homocisteína e três desfechos em saúde

Introdução - Os hábitos alimentares e os nutrientes da via metabólica do folato e homocisteína possuem grande importância na manutenção da saúde. Objetivo - Investigar a relação entre padrões alimentares (PAs) e os nutrientes envolvidos nessa via metabólica, com medidas antropométricas do r...

Impacto dos ácidos graxos dietéticos no perfil lipídico, inflamatório, oxidativo e na ativação dos fatores de transcrição NF-KB e Nrf2 em pacientes com epilepsia submetidos à dieta cetogênica

Introdução: a epilepsia é uma doença neurológica, cuja prevalência é de 0,5 a 1% na população, sendo que 20 a 30% dos pacientes apresentam crises refratárias ao tratamento medicamentoso. A dieta cetogênica (DC) composta por alto teor de gorduras, baixo teor de carboidratos e quantidade proteic...

Description of amino acid and fatty acid content during initial development of Lophiosilurus alexandri (Siluriformes: Pseudopimelodidae), a carnivorous freshwater catfish

Neotrop. ichthyol; 16 (2), 2018
Samples of eggs, newly hatched larvae (NHL), and larvae at the end of the lecithotrophic period (eight days after hatching) (LPL) of Lophiosilurus alexandri were collected to determine the amino acid and fatty acid profiles. Crude protein did not change throughout initial development and the concentratio...

Isolation and molecular characterization of Thraustochytrium strain isolated from Antarctic Peninsula and its biotechnological potential in the production of fatty acids

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (4), 2017
ABSTRACT Thraustochytrids are unicellular protists belonging to the Labyrinthulomycetes class, which are characterized by the presence of a high lipid content that could replace conventional fatty acids. They show a wide geographic distribution, however their diversity in the Antarctic Region is rather s...

Selection of Schizochytrium limacinum mutants based on butanol tolerance

Background: Mutation breeding is one of the most important routes to achieving high docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) productivity using Schizochytrium. However, few selection strategies have been reported that aim to generate a high DHA content in Schizochytrium lipids. Results: First, culture temperature alte...
