Application


  • Linseed, Baru, and Coconut Oils: NMR-Based Metabolomics, Leukocyte Infiltration Potential In Vivo, and Their Oil Characterization. Are There Still Controversies: This research utilizes NMR-based metabolomics to explore the biochemical properties of various oils, including coconut oil, and investigates their potential for leukocyte infiltration in vivo. The findings contribute to understanding the health implications and biochemical interactions of coconut oil (Figueiredo et al., 2022).

Heterothermic rodents increase self-selection of diets rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) when exposed to cold, short days, or short-day melatonin profiles, and Djungarian hamsters (Phodopus sungorus) do so in long days in response to cold exposure alone. To determine

Previous rodent studies showed that when injected into the brain, free fatty acids (FFAs) reduced food intake in an oleate-specific manner. The present study was performed to test whether food intake is regulated by circulating FFAs in an oleate-specific manner.
