Essential fatty acids: structural requirements for biological activity.
Published in Nutrition reviews
The importance of the proximal and terminal structures of fatty acids in conferring essential fatty acid activity, as measured by the ability to cure dermal lesions as well as on the efficiency of chain elongation-desaturation, was the focus of this literature review. Polyenoic 17-C fatty acids, with a double bond at the sixth or ninth carbon from ...

The cholesterol fractions of lipids from vaginal washings of 18 women in the estrogenic phase (4 pools, 10 mg each), 16 in the progesteronic phase (4 pools, 10 mg each), and 20 exhibiting atrophy (3 pools, 10 mg each, separated by column chromatography, assayed by colorimetry, were .711 plus or minus .022, 1.227 plus or minus .023, and 1.245 plus o...
A comparison of the effects of lipolytic and antilipolytic agents on adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate levels in adipose cel...
Published in The Journal of biological chemistry
A method for assaying, directly, cyclic 3',5'-adenosine (AMP) in isolated adipose cells is described which consists of measuring formation and accumulation of cyclic AMP-8 which is radiolabeled by 14C. This assay helped confirm known effects of cyclic AMP and adipose tissue. It showed that 1) cyclic AMP formation, stimulated by catecholamines, is e...
[Modifications of several indices of metabolism under the effect of a contraceptive agent administered orally].
Published in Gynécologie pratique
While 20 women took Infecundine (2.5 mg norethynodrel and .1 mg mestranol, combined) for 8 weeks, their serum was assayed for lipids, cholesterol, fatty acids, alpha-amino-nitrogen, and sugar, before and after 4 and 8 weeks. Mean cholesterol rose from 256 to 340 mg% after 4 weeks, (p less than .01), then fell to 266 after 8 weeks; the maximum indiv...

Published in Endokrinologie
Serum levels of free and total cholesterol and phospholipids were st udied in 84 women (average age 43.8 years) treated with Ovosiston for 1 to more than 9 months. Controls were 19 untreated women (average age 45 years). Total cholesterol and phospholipid levels were significantly greater in women treated for more than 3 months, but no significant ...
Enzymatic synthesis and decarboxylation of phosphatidylserine in Tetrahymena pyriformis.
Cell-free extracts of the protozoan Tetrahymena pyriformis have been found to catalyze the following reactions: Phosphatidylethanolamine + L-Serine Phosphatidylserine + Ethanolamine. Phosphatidylserine --> Phosphatidylethanolamine + CO(2) divided by Net: L-Serine --> Ethanolamine + CO(2). The biosynthesis of phosphatidylserine in this organism res...
[Are estrogens responsible for incidents observed under combined estrogen-progestagen treatment?].
Published in Fertilité, orthogénie
The major side effects due to estrogens in oral contraceptives are summarized, (thromboembolism, hypertension, diabetes, lipid metabolism, liver function) 2 retrospective studies on thromboembolism are reviewed. Estrogens decrease bile flux in the liver, which can become manifest as jaundice or pruritus, and may be the cause of abnormal synthesis o...
