TL;DR: The prevalence of clinically significant upper gastrointestinal findings in adult uninvestigated dyspepsia patients, and their predictability based on history, is unknown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Delta 6-desaturase activity in liver microsomes of rats fed diets enriched with cholesterol and/or omega 3 fatty acids.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the decrease in prostaglandin E2, thromboxane and prostacyclin levels generally observed after fish-oil consumption may be at least partly due to inhibition of C20:4, omega 6-fatty-acid synthesis from C18:2, Omega 6 fatty acid; and consumption of fish oil prevents the further decrease by dietary cholesterol that is apparent when cholesterol is fed in combination with diets high in saturated fat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diet fat composition alters membrane phospholipid composition, insulin binding, and glucose metabolism in adipocytes from control and diabetic animals.
TL;DR: Diet-induced alterations in membrane composition may provide a mechanism for improving the cellular response to insulin in cells from diabetic animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lipid absorption: passing through the unstirred layers, brush-border membrane, and beyond.
TL;DR: Recent advances are reviewed, including recent advances in the area of microclimates, compartmentation, lipid binding proteins, intracellular trafficking, intestinal lipoproteins, release of lipids across the basolateral membrane, and dietary effects.
