Using reverse phase high performance chromatography with UV-detection, the arachidonic acid cascade in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) was studied. It was found that PBL oxidized arachidonic acid via the lipoxygenase pathway, 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) being the major metabolite of endogenous arachidonic acid. Exogenous arachidonic acid added to human PBL suspensions increased 12-HETE synthesis 5-7 times. In another experimental series the effects of gangliosides (GD3, GM1 and GM3) on lipoxygenase-catalyzed oxidation of arachidonic acid in human lymphocytes were investigated. All the gangliosides tested stimulated PBL to secrete 12-HETE both from endogenous and exogenous arachidonic acid. In most cases the stimulating effect of GD3 was much more apparent that those of GM1 and GM3.

Introduction: This study examines the effects of steam-flaked corn starter on pre-weaned Simmental calves' growth, immunity, and metabolism. Despite benefits shown in adult cattle, research on calves is limited. The goal is to optimize calf feeding for better growth, health, and nutrient use.

An elevated level of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) can cause non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). While n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) were shown to improve NAFLD, the effects of n-6 PUFAs in the liver have not been fully elucidated. We examined the association between NAFLD and n-6 PUFAs, particularly dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (DGLA), in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Dairy cows with clinical ketosis (CK) exhibit metabolic changes, including intense adipose tissue (AT) lipolysis and systemic insulin resistance, that increase plasma BHB and free fatty acids (FFA). Cows with CK also have systemic inflammation, predisposing them to inflammatory and infectious diseases. This inflammatory process is modulated in part by oxidized fatty acids (oxylipins) that regulate all aspects of inflammation.

Multimodal imaging by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI) and microscopy holds potential for understanding pathological mechanisms by mapping molecular signatures from the tissue microenvironment to specific cell populations. However, existing software solutions for MALDI MSI data analysis are incomplete, require programming skills and contain laborious manual steps, hindering broadly applicable, reproducible, and high-throughput analysis to generate impactful biological discoveries. Here, we present msiFlow, an accessible open-source, platform-independent and vendor-neutral software for end-to-end, high-throughput, transparent and reproducible analysis of multimodal imaging data.

Background: The formation of gallstones is a multifactorial process involving lifestyle habits, lipid metabolism disorders, and genetic factors. This study aims to explore the association between 19 types of dietary fatty acids and gallstone disease using large-scale population data, assess the correlation between dietary fatty acids and serum fatty acids, and investigate the causal relationship between plasma lipids and gallstone disease from a genetic perspective.

Methods: We employed a cross-sectional study design, combined with logistic regression analysis to evaluate the association between dietary fatty acids and gallstone disease.
