A recent improvement of optimal cardiovascular therapy challenged the beneficial effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) observed in previous data.We sought to investigate the FAs composition in serum phospholipids in patients with established acute BACKGROUND
Epidemiological studies on the effect of individual saturated fatty acids (SFAs) on cardiovascular disease, especially in developing countries with different dietary patterns, are scarce.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the risk of nonfatal acute myocardial infarction (MI) associated with
Radiopharmaceuticals incorporated directly into the metabolic pathways in myocardium provide a useful means for evaluating such processes. Palmitic acid, a major physiologic substrate of myocardium, has a well-understood role in myocardial metabolism. Accordingly, 11C-palmitic acid was the substrate
A possible role of palmitic acid/Ca2+ (PA/Ca2+) complexes in the cyclosporin-insensitive permeability transition in mitochondria has been studied. It has been shown that in the presence of Ca2+, PA induces a swelling of mitochondria, which is not inhibited by cyclosporin A. The swelling is
Thirty-two men who had recently had a myocardial infarction were matched individually for age with controls who had no evidence of heart disease. The patients had a significantly lower proportion of linoleic acid and a higher proportion of palmitic acid in their plasma triglyceride fatty acids.
Mercapto derivatives of palmitic acid are capable of binding 99mTc. Based on the hypothesis that 99mTc-labeled palmitic acid derivatives would behave biologically like palmitic acid and thus could be used as myocardial imaging agents, three mercaptopalmitic acid derivatives have been prepared. The
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is recognized as a major and increasing health problem affected older subjects in China, and clopidogrel has been widely used for treatment of CVD patients such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion damage. However, the molecular
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the relation between intake and adipose tissue composition of fatty acids and acute myocardial infarction in Portuguese men.
METHODS
Case-control study. Diet was assessed using a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire. In 49 case and 49 control subjects, adipose tissue
ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is one of the most common global causes of cardiovascular disease-related death. Several metabolites may change during STEMI. Hence, analysis of metabolites in body fluid may be considered as a rapid and accurate test for initial diagnosis. This
BACKGROUND
The effect of individual saturated fatty acids (SFAs) on serum cholesterol levels depends on their carbon-chain length. Whether the association with myocardial infarction (MI) also differs across individual SFAs is unclear. We examined the association between consumption of individual
Lipid metabolites are indispensable regulators of physiological and pathological processes, including atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the complex changes in lipid metabolites and metabolism that occur in patients with these conditions are incompletely understood. We
Physicochemical differences between О3 oxidation parameters for palmitic and oleic fatty acids (FA) during phylogenesis (evolution) are fundamental for а) production of palmitoleic monounsaturated fatty (MFA), b) formation of carnitine palmitoyltransferase as a FA transporter to mitochondria, and c)
2-Chlorohexadecanal (2-ClHDA), a chlorinated fatty aldehyde, is formed via attack on ether-phospholipids by hypochlorous acid (HOCl) that is generated by the myeloperoxidase-hydrogen peroxide-chloride system of activated leukocytes. 2-ClHDA levels are elevated in atherosclerotic lesions, myocardial
OBJECTIVE
To compare the fatty acid composition of serum phospholipid of premenopausal women with that of postmenopausal women receiving and not receiving hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
METHODS
Women between the ages of 43 and 70 were recruited for two separate case-comparison studies.
Prostacyclin biosynthesis is dramatically increased in patients with acute myocardial infarction. As palmitoylcarnitine accumulates during myocardial ischemia, the action of this metabolite on the endothelial production of prostacyclin was studied. Palmitoyl-L-carnitine (10-100 microM) enhanced the
