Book excerpt: The advances in lipid biochemistry over the past 25 to 30 years have been dramatic and exciting. The elucidation of the pathways of fatty acid biosynthesis and oxidation, the delineation of the biogenesis of cholesterol from small-molecular weight precursors, the structure proof of simple and complex lipids from plants, animals, and microorganisms, are excellent examples of the spectacular advances made during the golden era of lipid biochemistry. The multifaceted discoveries in these diverse areas of study could be attributed to development of highly sophisticated column chromatographic techniques for separation and purification of simple and complex lipids. The advent of thin-layer chromatography as well as gas liquid chromatography provided an explosive impetus to research developments in this field. Concomitant advances in mass spectrometry allowed an interface with gas-liquid chromatography which spawned even greater insight into the structure of lipids. These eventful days of lipid chemistry nearly 25 years ago led to a relatively quiescent period wherein scientists applied these newly available techniques to investigation of the behavior of isolated (lipid) enzyme systems and to unraveling the intricacies of the metabolic behavior of lipids in the intact cell or whole organisms. Then, in the early 1960s, a decided change in research emphasis developed with the advent of a simple, reproducible procedure for the isolation of cell membranes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lipids have been in clinical use as components of intravenous nutrition for over 50 years. Over the last 15 years, new and improved lipids that include olive oil and/or fish oil have replaced the more traditional ones. These new lipids offer the opportunity to deliver high amounts of fatty acids and possess different functional properties: in particular, they can influence inflammatory processes, immune responses and hepatic metabolism. This book brings together articles written by leading international authorities in the area of intravenous lipids. Contributions discuss the latest findings in the field, ranging from pre-clinical research to the most recent clinical trials. Lipid functionality and utility in pediatric, adult surgical and critically ill patients are covered, as is the use of lipids in long-term home parenteral nutrition. Addressing a broad spectrum of topics, this publication provides a wealth of information for basic scientists, clinical researchers and clinical practitioners alike.

Download or read book Lipids in Health and Disease written by Peter Quinn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-08-27 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lipids are functionally versatile molecules. They have evolved from relatively simple hydrocarbons that serve as depot storages of metabolites and barriers to the permeation of solutes into complex compounds that perform a variety of signalling functions in higher organisms. This volume is devoted to the polar lipids and their constituents. We have omitted the neutral lipids like fats and oils because their function is generally to act as deposits of metabolizable substrates. The sterols are also outside the scope of the present volume and the reader is referred to volume 28 of this series which is the subject of cholesterol. The polar lipids are comprised of fatty acids attached to either glycerol or sphingosine. The fatty acids themselves constitute an important reservoir of substrates for conversion into families of signalling and modulating molecules including the eicosanoids amongst which are the prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leucotrienes. The way fatty acid metabolism is regulated in the liver and how fatty acids are desaturated are subjects considered in the first part of this volume. This section also deals with the modulation of protein function and inflammation by unsaturated fatty acids and their derivatives. New insights into the role of fatty acid synthesis and eicosenoid function in tumour progression and metastasis are presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study subcutaneous, inter- and intramuscular fats from 42 Hereford steers were analyzed for their fatty acid composition using gas-liquid chromatography. The same tissues were analyzed from one pair each of identical twins of Angus and Shorthorn breeding. Muscle and liver lipids from these latter four animals were fractionated on silicic acid columns into glycerides and phospholipids prior to the fatty acid analysis. Feedlot performance and carcass characteristics data were also available on these animals. The data were analyzed statistically using analysis of variance techniques and simple correlations were calculated between all the variables studied with the exception of linolenic acid. Of the ten fatty acids quantitated, only the 17-carbon fatty acid and an 18-carbon branched chain acid were found to differ significantly between rations. Since both these acids are believed to be synthesized by certain rumen bacteria, these differences may reflect conditions in the rumen. No direct evidence is available. However, it is probable that this involves the availability of suitable precursors or rumen conditions favorable to these species of organisms. A highly significant relationship (r = .47) was found between average daily gain and linoleic acid. This relationship is probably also influenced by conditions in the rumen. A more rapid rate of passage or other factors which result in less extensive hydrogenation of polyunsaturated acids might also be conducive to more rapid growth. Essential fatty acids, such as linoleic, might be expected to reduce growth rates when they are deficient, however, no evidence of such a deficiency existed. Backfat thickness gave highly significant negative correlations with both myristic (r = .44) and palmitic acid (4 = .46) and was positively related to the 17- and 18-carbon fatty acids with the exception of stearic. Rib-eye area/CWT and estimated cutability, conversely, were positively and highly significantly correlated with the 14- and 16-carbon fatty acids and showed a negative relationship with the longer chained fatty acids. These relationships may indicate metabolic differences between the animals which deposit more lean tissue with less fat and those depositing greater amounts of fat. If, as these data indicate, meatier animals accumulate more of the 14- and 16-carbon fatty acids in the subcutaneous fat, a useful selection tool will be provided to the animal breeder. These 14- and 16-carbon fatty acids, in general showed a positive relationship between one another. When correlated with the 17- and 18-carbon fatty acids a negative relationship was observed. These negative relationships were particularly pronounced in the case of oleic and linoleic acids. It was suggested that the substitution of shorter chain saturated fatty acids for the longer chain unsaturates is the result of an attempt by the animal to maintain physical homeostasis of its depot fats. This assumption is based on the observation that the removal of carbon atoms has the same effect on some of the physical properties as the addition of a double bond. The data obtained in this study indicated that myristic and palmitic acid were readily substituted for oleic acid. The separation of liver and muscle lipid into glyceride and phospholipid resulted in the detection of additional components. Both muscle and liver phospholipids contained large amounts of arachidonic and eicosatrienoic acids. These acids were detected only in liver glycerides. An unknown fraction was observed in both liver glycerides and phospholipids and in muscle phospholipid. This fraction may represent a fatty aldehyde since they have been previously reported in the liver as free aldehydes and as constituents of phospholipid. The only fraction showing similar trends within twin pairs was the muscle glycerides. The muscle phospholipids and all the liver fractions showed considerable variability both within and between twin pairs.
