Nutrient Metabolism

ABSTRACT We report the stereospecific (sn-1, sn-2, sn-3) distribution of fatty acids in subcutaneous adipose tissue triacylglycerols of male weaned Wistar rats fed either a standard diet or diets containing, in addition to 20 g corn oil/kg feed, 120 g/kg feed, each, of canola-type rapeseed oil, olive oil, conventional or high oleic sunflower oil or high petroselinic coriander oil for 10 wk. The regiospecific distribution of the major acyl moieties in the sn-1 (3) v...

Physiological Research ; Summary Cushing's syndrome is associated with typical central redistribution of adipose tissue. The aim of the study was to assess lipolysis and catecholamines and their metabolites in subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue using an in-vivo microdialysis technique. Nine patients with Cushing's
