...Michael F. Oliver Plasma free fatty acids (non-esterified fatty acids) increase in the first hour of the onset of acute myocardial ischaemia. This results from catecholamine stimulation of adipose tissue lipolysis. It can lead to a metabolic crisis in the injured myocardium with the development...

...-tocopherol, NEFAs (non-esterified fatty acids), and palmitic, palmitoleic, γ-linolenic and arachidonic acids were higher in women with IUGR pregnancies than in AGA-35wk controls, whereas stearic and α-linolenic acids were lower. Smaller differences were found when comparing these variables for IUGR and AGA...

...Markus Schlaich Sympathetic nervous system activation is a hallmark of several conditions associated with an adverse prognosis, including hypertension and the metabolic syndrome. Proposed mediators of increased sympathetic drive include hyperinsulinaemia, leptin, NEFAs (non-esterified fatty acids...

...John P. Florian; James A. Pawelczyk Previous studies have shown that acute increases in plasma NEFAs (non-esterified fatty acids) raise SVR (systemic vascular resistance) and BP (blood pressure). However, these studies have failed to distinguish between CNS (central nervous system) mechanisms...

... (lipoprotein lipase) activity. To test our hypothesis, we measured basal VLDL-TAG and VLDL-apoB-100 (apolipoprotein B-100), and plasma NEFA [non-esterified fatty acid (‘free fatty acid’)] kinetics, by using stable isotope-labelled tracer techniques, on the morning after a single session of evening exercise...

... we describe the rationale behind drug design strategies targeting PPARγ, based on current knowledge regarding the effects of such drugs in experimental animal models, as well as in clinical practice. Regarding endogenous PPARγ ligands, several fatty acid derivatives bind PPARγ with different...

In this review, the effects of FAs...

... cardiac energy substrate switches from FAs (fatty acids) to glucose. LPL (lipoprotein lipase) is the key enzyme in triacylglycerol (triglyceride) hydrolysis and supplies FAs to the heart. To investigate whether substrate utilization influences cardiac growth and CHD risk, we examined the association...

... of lymphocyte death were evaluated by flow cytometry. Plasma levels of glucose, NEFAs (non-esterified fatty acids) and ketone bodies (acetoacetate and β-hydroxybutyrate) were determined in rats fasted for 24 and 48 h. Lymphocytes obtained from fasted rats had an increase in DNA fragmentation...

... mechanisms involved were examined by measuring mitochondrial depolarization, lipid accumulation and PPARγ (peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor γ) activation. The results demonstrate that fatty acids induce apoptosis and necrosis of J774 cells. At high concentrations, fatty acids cause macrophage death...

...Giovanna Priante; Estella Musacchio; Elisa Pagnin; Lorenzo A. Calò; Bruno Baggio A specific modulatory effect of PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids) on gene expression of some cytokines involved in bone remodelling has been reported previously. In particular, although a direct action of AA...

... of β-cell mass is not indefinite and may well decrease with time. Changes in circulating concentrations of nutritional factors, such as fatty acids and/or glucose, may lead to a reduction in β-cell mass in vivo . Few previous studies have attempted to explore the interplay between glucose, amino acids...

...Declan A. HEALY; R. William G. WATSON; Philip NEWSHOLME We report here that monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) provoke the accumulation of neutral lipids and apoptosis in retinoic acid-treated HL-60 cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The PUFAs...
