TLDR
The aim of the present work was to study cham shortening of [14C]erucrc acid m the perfused rat heart, and to see if the activity of this system was altered after prolonged feeding with rapeseed 011.

Peroxisome proliferators and peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs) as regulators of lipid metabolism

TL;DR: The reader will be led to conclude that the discovery of PPARs and related gene activation through peroxisome proliferator responsive element (PPRE) makes PP induction one of the most illustrative examples of control that occurs in lipid metabolism.

Metabolism of very long-chain monounsaturated fatty acids (22:1) and the adaptation to their presence in the diet.

J Bremer, +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that CoA esters that are poorly oxidized by the mitochondria (e.g., esters of erucic acid, of some fatty acids with trans double bonds, and of clofibric acid) may trigger the adaptation to their presence in the diet.

PEROXISOMAL βT‐OXIDATION OF LONG FATTY ACIDS: EFFECTS OF HIGH FAT DIETS*

TL;DR: The finding that oxidation of erucoyl carnitine by rat liver mitochondrial from clofibrate-treated rats was not markedly different from the rate obtained with control mitochondria, while oxidation of [14-'4C]erucate by hepatocytes isolated from cl ofibrates treated rats was markedly increased suggested that a nonmitochondrial process might be significant for cellular oxidation of C,,,-fatty acids.

Stimulation of microperoxisomal β-oxidation in rat heart by high-fat diets

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of microperoxisomal beta-oxidation of the fatty acid composition of the dietary oils was investigated, and it was concluded that the heart plays an important part in the adaptation process.

The effect of (-)carnitine on the metabolism of palmitate in liver cells isolated from fasted and refed rats.

TL;DR: Observations seen together suggest that both the relative activities of carnitine palmityltransferase and glycerophosphate acyl transferase and variations in the concentration of Carnival can have directing effects on the metabolic fate of fatty acids in the liver.

Cardiac Lipid Changes in Rats Fed Oils Containing Long-Chain Fatty Acids

TL;DR: In this paper, the composition of the cardiac fatty acids and the histopathology in rats receiving oil as 40% of calories were studied after 3, 7, 14 and 28 days.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of clofibrate feeding on the metabolism of palmitate and erucate in isolated hepatocytes.

TL;DR: The isolated mitochondrial fraction from clofibrate-fed rats showed an increased capacity for oxidation of short-chain acylcarnitines (including acetylc Carnitine), while the oxidation of palmitoyl- and erucoylcarnitine showed little change.

Chain shortening of erucic acid in isolated liver cells

TL;DR: The metabolism of erucic Acid in isolated liver cells has been studied and it is shown that part of the injected radioactivity is recovered in shorter monounsaturated fatty acids, particularly in oleic acid in liver.

Erucic acid oxidation by beating heart cells in culture.

A. Pinson, +1 more
- 01 Feb 1974 - 
TL;DR: In the present work, oxidation of erucic acid by beating heart cells in culture has been studied to determine whether differentiated cultured cardiac cells in a tissue-like structure, are able themselves to oxidize erUCic acid and whether transformation is an essential step prior to oxidation.
