Linoleic, oleic, and stearic fatty acids, presented vapor-phase retronasally, were discriminable from blanks and each other, but the same concentrations, oral-cavity-only (OCO), were not discriminable from blanks. It remained possible that higher concentrations might be discriminable OCO. To evaluate this

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) are critical for lipid metabolism, and many fatty acids are PPAR agonists. Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells were tested as an in vitro bovine model for PPAR activation, and preliminary evaluation of the effect of

Studies in mice have indicated that feeding diets containing 0.5-1% conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) considerably reduces body fat. These findings have attracted much interest because of the potential use of CLA as a tool to promote weight loss in humans.

Environmental contaminants have previously been linked to components of the Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). However, exposure to environmental contaminants is in part determined by various lifestyle factors. Using an "Environmental Wide Association Study" (ELWAS) integrating environmental contaminants and lifestyle factors, we
