BACKGROUND: Together with adiposity, plasma fatty acid (FA) composition can modulate the development of the metabolic syndrome (MS). OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to investigate the relations of FA composition in plasma phospholipids and cholesterol esters (CEs) with weight status, MS, and inflammation in adolescents. DESIGN: Plasma FA composition was measured by gas-liquid chromatography in 120 (60 normal-weight and 60 overweight) 12-y-old adolescents. We also measured the presence of MS,...

Longissimus Dorsi from Reindeer Lipids ; ABSTRACT: Our aim was to compare the effects of two pelleted diets containing differing FA composition with natural lichen pasture on reindeer's meat FA composition. In addition we wanted to increase the knowledge about reindeer FA metabolism and the effect of animal sex and age on FA composition
	Environmental Effects on Fatty Acid Levels in Soybean Seed Oil JAOCS, Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society ; ABSTRACT: FA composition determines the quality of vegetable oil. Soybean breeders have generated and used mutations in FA genes to develop altered FA profiles in the seed. However, the expression of the alleles and the relative activity of the gene products are often dependent on the environment,

We examined the effects of CD36 downregulation by RNA interference in 3T3-L1 adipocytes on FA transport and
