Mitogenic activity of sterculic acid, a cyclopropenoid fatty acid.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hepatocytes in rainbow trout and rat are stimulated to augmented DNA synthesis and cell division by low concentrations of cyclopropenoid fatty acids in the diet. Sterculic acid isolated as the methyl ester from Sterculia foetida oil has been identified as one of the mitogenic principles.

Sterculic Acid: The Mechanisms of Action beyond Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase Inhibition and Therapeutic Opportunities in Human Diseases.

Only registered users can translate articles

In many tissues, stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) catalyzes the biosynthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAS),(i.e., palmitoleate and oleate) from their saturated fatty acid (SFA) precursors (i.e., palmitate and stearate), influencing cellular membrane physiology and signaling, leading to

Optimisation, experimental validation and thermodynamic study of the sequential oil extraction and biodiesel production processes from seeds of Sterculia foetida.

Only registered users can translate articles

Non-edible seeds are not used in any commercial applications, which implies that they can be used for biofuel applications. The present study aimed to maximise the process conditions for oil extraction and sterculia biodiesel production from Sterculia foetida (poon oil). GC-MS identified the methyl

Enantiomeric separation of triacylglycerols containing fatty acids with a ring (cyclofatty acids).

Only registered users can translate articles

Triacylglycerols (TAGs) containing cyclofatty acids (cycloFAs) from two oilseeds of Sterculia foetida and Hydnocarpus wightiana were analysed using both reversed-phase (RP18) and chiral phase columns. TAGs were identified using high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry in the

Action of a cyclopropenoid fatty acid on the corpus luteum of pregnant and nonpregnant ewes.

Only registered users can translate articles

The effects of a cyclopropenoid fatty acid on luteal cell function were studied. In experiment 1, pregnant ewes were laparotomized on Day 18 of gestation and ewes with CL in both ovaries were unilaterally ovariectomized. Either 1.09 mg of an extract of Sterculia foetida seeds, containing 750

Carbocyclic fatty acids in plants: biochemical and molecular genetic characterization of cyclopropane fatty acid synthesis of Sterculiafoetida.

Only registered users can translate articles

Fatty acids containing three-member carbocyclic rings are found in bacteria and plants. Bacteria synthesize cyclopropane fatty acids (CPA-FAs) only by the addition of a methylene group from S-adenosylmethionine to the cis-double bond of monoenoic phospholipid-bound fatty acids. In plants CPA-FAs are

The mitogenic effects of methyl sterculate on aortic smooth muscle cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cyclopropenoid compounds are derived from naturally occurring C19 long chain fatty acids which have been shown to increase mitosis in rat hepatocytes, to elevate serum cholesterol and to enhance atherosclerosis in hens. In order to study the direct effects of sterculi acid triglyceride on smooth
