Cardiovascular diseases are described as the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in modern societies. Therefore, the importance of cardiovascular diseases prevention is widely reflected in the increasing number of reports on the topic among the key scientific research efforts of the recent period. The importance of essential fatty acids (EFAs)...
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are crucial for our health and wellbeing; therefore, they have been widely investigated for their roles in maintaining human health and in disease treatment. Most Western diets include significant amount of saturated and omega-6 fatty acids and insufficient quantity of omega-3; however, the balance between omega-...
Limonoids are chemically classified on the basis of the four rings, marked as A, B, C and D in the intact triterpene nucleus with various oxidative modifications. The structural variations of limonoids found in Rutaceae species are lesser than in species of Meliaceae. Limonoids isolated from the plant family Meliaceae are more complex with very hig...
L-Carnitine is an endogenous molecule involved in fatty acid metabolism, biosynthesized within the human body using amino acids: L-lysine and L-methionine, as substrates. L-Carnitine can also be found in many foods, but red meats, such as beef and lamb, are the best choices for adding carnitine into the diet. Good carnitine sources also include fis...
Two anal, methods (spectrophotometry, spectrofluorometry) were tested for their applicability for enzymatic detn. of total and free L-carnitine contents in cow, goat and sheep milk samples. The samples were preliminary prepd. by hydrolysis with KOH at 60°C for 1 h, neutralization with HCIO4 and ultrafiltration and then analyzed after enzymatic acet...
Several novel cyclopropyl-rigidified γ- and δ-amino acids 3–4 have been prepared starting from monoterpene (+)-3-carene 2. These compounds are proposed as chiral analogues of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) 1 and are expected to be of interest as potential inhibitors of GABA receptors.
