  2. 11. Palmitate-induced Apoptosis in Insulin-producing β-cells

    Author : Kristofer Thörn; Peter Bergsten; Claes Wollheim; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ER stress; apoptosis; palmitate; sphingosine-1-phosphate; ceramide; beta-cell; fatty acid; Medical cell biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Type 2 diabetes is a disease characterized by the inability of pancreatic β-cells to secrete sufficient amounts of insulin to maintain normoglycemia. Increased levels of saturated fatty acids such as palmitate are believed to contribute to β-cell failure and the development of the disease. READ MORE

  4. 12. Chemical Interactions between Fatty Acids and Wood Components during Oxidation Processes

    Author : Alireza Salehi M.; Mats K G Johansson; Gunnar Hemriksson; Heikki Tenhu; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Fatty acids auto-oxidation on wood is proposed to follow a complex free radical interaction mechanism. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of wood constituents on oxidation of fatty acids and thereby the entire drying process, and to characterize the fatty acids-wood interaction by using analytical instruments such as RT-IR and NMR.

  5. 13. LDL Oxidation Susceptibility and Its Relation To Antioxidants and Fatty Acids : A Clinical and Experimental Study

    Author : Bo Ziedén; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis is an arterial disease characterized by lipid deposits in the artery wall. These lipid deposits partly consist of oxidatively modified low density lipoprotein (LDL). Several lines of evidence indicate a role of oxidized LDL in atherogenesis. READ MORE

  6. 14. Peroxisomal and mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism in brown adipose tissue and liver

    Author : Stefan E. H. Alexson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Brown adipose tissue (BAT) produces heat in response to cold. The heat produced is mainly due to oxidation of fatty acids. In animal tissues, fatty acid 9-oxidation has generally been assumed to occur in mitochondria. READ MORE

  7. 15. Influence of the fatty acid pattern on the drying of linseed oils

    Author : Cecilia Stenberg; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The interest in renewable resources due to environmentalfactors has increased the interest to use new VOC-free linseedoil qualities together with reactive diluents for coatingapplications. The drying of two linseed oils, oilAwith a high content (74,2 %) of linoleic acid (C18:2)and oilB, a more traditional linseed oil with a high amount(55,2-60,4 %) of linolenic acid (C18:3), was followed in orderto reveal how the structural variations of the oils fatty acidpattern and the addition of the fatty acid methyl ester of oilAas a reactive diluent (0, 20 40 wt%) can change thedrying performances of the oils and their final filmproperties.
