Influence of additives on swelling and mucoadhesion properties of glyceryl monooleate liquid crystals

Abstract Liquid crystalline systems of glyceryl monooleate/water are used as drug delivery systems due to their complex structure that controls drug diffusion. Mucoadhesive properties of glyceryl monooleate suggest it can be used for buccal delivery. Using additives is a strategy to modify physical and c...

Effects of oleic (18: 1n-9) and palmitic (16: 0) fatty acids on the metabolic state of adipocytes

Abstract Background: Elevated serum-free fatty acid (FFA) levels induce insulin resistance (IR) or a protective mechanism to IR development in humans; it depends on FFA type. Objetive: This study explores the effects of oleic (OLA - unsatured) and palmitic (PAM - saturated) fatty acids on insulin actio...

Efecto del extracto hidroalcohólico de la planta Lampaya medicinalis Phil. (Verbenaceae) sobre la esteatosis inducida in vitro en hepatocitos humanos

INTRODUCCIÓN: La enfermedad del hígado graso no alcohólico (EHGNA) es la forma más común de enfermedad hepática. A nivel celular se caracteriza por la acumulación de triglicéridos (TG) en forma de gotas lipídicas (GL) dando lugar a esteatosis e inflamación. Entre los factores relevantes para la...

Huevos de tinamou (nothoprocta perdicaria): una nueva alternativa en Chile

Rev. chil. nutr; 47 (1), 2020
El objetivo de esta revisión fue comparar algunas características nutricionales y de calidad de huevos de tinamou, con huevos de gallina y codorniz. Los huevos de tinamou contienen menos extracto etéreo y proteína en yema, y similar cantidad de proteínas en clara que huevos de gallina y codorniz. La...

Effects of propofol pretreatment on lung morphology and heme oxygenase-1 expression in oleic acid-induced acute lung injury in rats

Acta cir. bras; 33 (3), 2018
Abstract Purpose: To investigate the effects of propofol pretreatment on lung morphology and heme oxygenase-1 expression in oleic acid -induced acute lung injury in rats. Methods: A total of 32 male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300g) were randomly divided into the following four groups (n=8/group): group...

Development and application of KASP marker for high throughput detection of AhFAD2 mutation in peanut

Background: Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a major oilseed crop worldwide. Fatty acid composition of peanut oil may affect the flavor and shelf life of the resulting food products. Oleic acid and linoleic acid are the major fatty acids of peanut oil. The conversion from oleic acid to linoleic...

Análisis farmacognóstico preliminar de las semillas de Moringa Oleifera Lam cosechadas en Cuba
Preliminary pharmacognitive analysis of Moringa oleifera Lam seeds harvested in Cuba

Rev. cuba. farm; 49 (2), 2015
Introducción: la Moringa oleífera Lam. (moringa) es una especie de reconocido uso tanto para humanos como para animales. Sus semillas constituyen una fuente de aceites fijos con un elevado contenido de ácidos grasos insaturados y en particular de ácido oleico. Este aceite se puede emplear en la indus...

Cloning, characterization and expression of Peking duck fatty acid synthase during adipocyte differentiation

Electron. j. biotechnol; 17 (6), 2014
Background Fatty acid synthase (FAS) is a key enzyme of de novo lipogenesis (DNL), which has been cloned from several species: Gallus gallus, Mus musculus, Homo sapiens, but not from Anas platyrhynchos. The current study was conducted to obtain the full-length coding sequence of Peking duck FAS and inves...

Fat profile of Jamaican ackees, oleic acid content and possible health implications

West Indian med. j; 63 (1), 2014
OBJECTIVE: To re-investigate the composition of ackee oil and unequivocally determine its principal fatty acid components. METHODS: Oil was extracted from the edible portion of ackees harvested in three different studies (I - III) by several analysts; studies I and II utilized composite samples from seve...

Relationship between composition and organizational levels of nanostructured systems formed by Oleth 10 and PPG-5-Ceteth-20 for potential drug delivery

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 50 (3), 2014
In this paper, nanostructured systems were developed, with the aid of ternary phase diagrams, from two surfactants, of differing degrees of lipophilicity (PPG-5-Ceteth-20 and the Oleth 10) and two oil phases (oleic acid and isopropyl myristate). It was observed that there were differences between the fou...
