A group of long chain α,ω-diols (C29 to C34) has been identified in the lipids of steer and human meibomian gland excreta (meibum). These new lipids were isolated from the steer meibum unsaponifiables. Proof of structure was provided by 1) the column chromatographic behavior and TLC of the diols and their diacetates; 2) GLC on glass capillary columns; 3) fragmentation patterns in GC-MS; 4) NMR data, and 5) ozonolysis studies of the unsaturates. Chain types for the steer sample were 51% straight monoenes, 8.5% straight saturates, 39% iso and anteiso saturates and 1.5% iso and anteiso unsaturates. GC for the human sample gave straight monoenes 83%, straight saturates 8%, and iso plus anteiso saturates 9%. Close correspondence of the α,ω-diol chain lengths and types with meibum ω-hydroxy fatty acids suggests a biochemical precursor relationship.  相似文献

Ozonolysis studies of the monoenes of the fatty chain types in lipids of steer meibomian gland excreta (meibum) have confirmed earlier structural assignments based on gas liquid chromatography (GLC) retention data and have assisted in assigning complete structures to a group of recently identified ω-hydroxy fatty acids. The ω-hydroxy acids include straight-chain monoenoic acids (85%), saturated anteiso and iso acids (13%), monoenoic acids of the latter group (1%) and, finally, saturates of the normal monoenoic acids (1%). All the fatty chains of meibum can be biosynthesized by a unified process of chain buildup to primary chain lengths of 12∶0–20∶0 for the straight evens, with 16∶0 predominating, 13∶0–21∶0 for the straight odds with 17∶0 predominating, i16∶0 to i28∶0 for the iso and ai17∶0 to ai29∶0 for the anteiso chain types; then Δ9 desaturation of each of these chain types; and finally chain elongation of 1–10 C2 units. Some chain degradation may also occur. The meibum lipid components involved are unsubstituted fatty acids, α-OH fatty acids, ω-OH fatty acids, fatty alcohols and some other lipid components incompletely characterized. The carbon skeletons are straight even, straight odd, iso and anteiso except that the α-OH fatty acids are only straight even and straight odd and these chains are not elongated. All fatty chains are almost entirely saturated and monoenoic, the polyenes occurring in only trace amounts. Biosynthesis of the fatty chains of human meibum evidently occurs similarly, except that considerably more 18∶0 than 16∶0 fatty acids are built up by the fatty acid synthetase, before desaturation and extension.  相似文献

The literature is surveyed on two types of diester lipid that occur on the skin surfaces of animals: Type 1, a hydroxy fatty acid of which the hydroxyl group and the carboxyl group are esterified respectively with another fatty acid and a fatty alcohol, and Type 2, and alkane α,β-diol of which each OH group is esterified with a fatty acid. New data presented here show that the cow, rabbit and cat produce Type 1, whereas the dog, mouse, guinea pig and baboon produce Type 2 diesters. Each occurs as a major component of the surface lipid. The homologue distribution is given for Type 1 diesters of cow, rabbit and cat as well as the Type 2 diesters of dog and mouse. Distribution of long chain fatty acids of Type 1 diesters parallels that of the fatty alcohols suggesting a biogenetic relation between the two types of compounds. GLC of total diesters for the cow suggests that the components are assembled randomly during biosynthesis. Molecular weight of these diesters are in the range of those of natural triglycerides composed mainly of C16 and C18 fatty acids. Presented at the 60th AOCS Annual Meeting, San Francisco, April 1969, as part of a Symposium on Natural Waxes.  相似文献

The fatty acids of rat skin surface lipids comprise four main skeletal types of chains which occur both as saturates and monoenes and range from C12 to C38: straight even, straight odd, iso and anteiso (the latter two identified by GC retention data only). Two unidentified series of branched monoenes also occur in trace amounts. Reductive ozonolysis of monoenes reveals two characteristic double-bond position patterns, one for the straight even chain series and the other for the straight odd chain series. The straight even chain pattern comprises four series, of which ω7 ≫ω9>ω5>ω11; the straight odd chain series in contrast shows a large number of ω series with irregular distribution. The biosynthesis of the even chain fatty acid monoenes can be thought of as occurring in two stages: synthesis of 14∶Δ9, 16∶Δ9, 18∶Δ9 and 20∶Δ9, with 16∶Δ9 predominating; elongation of these chains mostly by 1, 2, or 3 C2 units but up to the unusually long lengths by 11 C2 units. For the formation of the former, two schemes by known pathways are proposed. Iso and anteiso chains which are nearly all saturated comprised 1/3 the total fatty acids. Special terms and abbreviations: Normal even=a straight chain with an even number of carbon atoms, normal odd=a straight chain with an odd number of carbon atoms, ω=terminal carbon atom, iso=a straight chain with a methyl group at the ω−1 position, anteiso=a straight chain with a methyl group at the w−2 position, Δn=a double bond between the nth and the (n+1)th carbon atom from the carbonyl group of the fatty acid or ester, ωn=a double bond between the ω∩nth and the ω-(n−1)th carbon atom where n is an integer, aldester=aldehyde methyl ester, Me=methyl, GLC=gas-liquid chromatography, TLC=thin-layer chromatography.  相似文献

Two unusual lipid classes were detected by thin-layer chromatography in the neutral lipids derived from goat cauda-epididymal sperm plasma membrane. The lipids were identified as wax esters and 1-O-alkyl-2,3-diacylglycerols based on chromatographic properties, identity of their hydrolysis products, and infrared/1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectral evidence. The membrane containedca. 3 and 5 μg/mg protein of wax esters and alkyldiacylglycerols, respectively. The relative proportions of wax esters and alkyldiacylglycerols in the total neutral lipids were 1.5% and 2.4%, respectively. The lipids contained fatty acids with chain lengths of C14 to C22. The major fatty acids of the wax esters were 14∶0, 16∶0, 16∶1ω7, 18∶0 and 18∶1ω9. The fatty acids in alkyldiacylglycerol were 16∶0, 18∶0, 22∶5ω3 and 22∶6ω3. Alkyldiacylglycerol was particularly rich in docosahexaenoic acid 22∶6ω3) representing 30% of the total fatty acids. The alcohols of wax ester were all saturated with C20–C29 carbon chains. The deacylated products derived from alkyldiacylglycerols were identified as hexadecyl, octadecyl and octadec-9′-enyl glycerol ethers.  相似文献

Skin-surface lipids from the monkeyMacaca fascicularis are composed of sterol esters (38%), cholesterol (4%) and two types of wax diesters, identified as Type II (IIa and IIb, 17% and 40%, respectively). Type IIa contained diesters of 1,2-alkanediols esterified with two molecules of long-chain (C14−C34) fatty acids having straight and branched chains. In the diesters IIa, fatty acids shorter than C19 predominated in position 1, and fatty acids longer than C20 predominated in position 2. Type IIb contained diesters of 1,2-alkanediols esterified with C4 and C5 branched-chain fatty acids (predominantly isovaleric acid) at position 1 and long-chain (C14−C27) acids, having straight and branched chains, at position 2. The shortchain acids were converted to 2-nitrophenylhydrazides and analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Ammonia chemical ionization (CI)-gas chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry (MS) resolved the intact diesters IIb into 12 peaks corresponding to molecular weights ranging from 597 to 748, and showed that the molecular species, such as C21−C16−C5 (diol, fatty acid in position 2, fatty acid in position 1), C22−C16−C5 and C23−C16−C5, were prevalent. The fatty acids from both diesters were mostly (>98%) saturated. The 1,2-alkanediols from both diesters consisted of C16−C26 saturated straight- and branched-chain components. The acyl groups of sterol esters contained 86% C14−C34 branched-chain acids. The unsaturated fatty acids (5.4%) belonged to a straight-chain monoenoic series having extremely long chains (C18−C34). The branched-chain structures in the fatty acids and diols were iso and anteiso. These results show the species-specific profile for the skin-surface lipid synthesis.  相似文献

Fatty acids in human and rat adrenal lipids were analyzed by AgNO3-impregnated silica gel, thin layer chromatography and gas liquid chromatography (GLC). In human adrenal cholesterol ester, 26 kinds of fatty acids were estimated. The percentage of 18∶1 was highest, and 20∶3ω6 and 22∶4ω6 represented high percentages in polyenoic acids. Docosatrienoate was found in all the five men, representing from 1.0% to 2.8%. Its retention time on GLC was different from that of 22∶3ω9 found in the adrenal cholesterol ester of fat deficient rats. The methyl esters of dicarboxylic acids produced by KMnO4-oxidation of the docosatrienoate had a chain of 10 carbon atoms. These results elucidate that the docosatrienoate from human adrenal cholesterol ester belongs to the linoleate family. In the adrenal cholesterol ester of 10-week fat free rats, the percentages of 22∶4ω6 and 22∶5ω6 did not decrease, compared with control rats, though arachidonate apparently decreased. The adrenal phospholipid contained about 20% of arachidonate in four of five men and about 40% of arachidonate in rats. Much more polyenoic acids were found in the triglyceride of an adrenal adenoma of primary aldosteronism than in the adjacent adrenal tissue, shereas the fatty acid compositions of phospholipid and cholesterol ester in the adenoma resembled those in the adjacent tissue.  相似文献

The total lipid fatty acids from the white shrimpPenaeus setiferus were found to contain several unusual dienoic fatty acid species. These included two methylene-interrupted species: Δ11, 14-C18∶2 (18∶2ω4) and δ13, 16-C20∶2 (20∶2ω4). Also found were several non-methylene-interrupted dienoic fatty acids including δ7, 11 and Δ7, 13-C20∶2, Δ7, 13-C21∶2, Δ7, 13, Δ7, 15, Δ9, 13, Δ9, 15, and Δ7, 17-C22∶2. Many minor C20∶2 non-methylene-interrupted dienes were found but could not be unequivocally characterized.  相似文献

Existence of a dietary maximal level or threshold for incorporation of ω3 fatty acids into membrane phospholipids is of interest as it may further define understanding of the dietary requirement for ω3 fatty acids. To test whether feeding increasing levels of dietary ω3 fatty acids continues to increase membrane ω3 fatty acid content, weanling rats were fed a nutritionally adequate semipurified diet which provided increasing amounts of C20 and C22 ω3 fatty acids, such as 20∶5ω3 and 22∶6ω3. Dietary 20∶5ω3 and 22∶6ω3 were provided by substituting a purified shark oil concentrate of high 22∶6ω3 content for safflower oil high in 18∶2ω6. After four weeks of feeding, nuclear envelopes from four animals in each diet group were prepared, lipid was extracted and phospholipids separated. Arachidonic acid content in membrane phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylserine was significantly reduced by feeding increased dietary levels of ω3 fatty acids. Decline of 20∶4ω6 level in phospholipid tended to stabilize when the dietary content of total ω3 fatty acids reached 4–5% of total fatty acids. Above this level, dietary ω3 fatty acids did not result in a further decrease in membrane content of 20∶4nω6. Increase in membrane phospholipid content of 20∶5ω3 occurred as the dietary intake of ω3 fatty acids increased from 1.1% to 5% of total fatty acids. A dietary ω3 fatty acid level of 2.2–3% was sufficient to result in maximum incorporation of 22∶6ω3 into membrane phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, but not into phosphatidylinositol or phosphatidylserine.  相似文献

The fatty acid composition of partially hydrogenated arachis (HAO), partially hydrogenated soybean (HSO) and partially hydrogenated herring (HHO) oils and of a normal, refined arachis oil (AO) was studied in detail by means of direct gas liquid chromatography, ultraviolet and infrared spectrophotometry and by thin layer chromatography fractionation on silver nitrate-silica gel plates followed by gas liquid chromatography. It was shown that the partially hydrogenated oils all contained fatty acids withtrans double bonds. In the plant oils, thetrans acids were present mainly as elaidic acid. The HHO showed an almost equal distribution betweentrans 18∶1 ω9,trans 20∶1 ω>9 andtrans 22∶1 ω>9. Sometrans configuration was also found in the C20-and C22-dienes and trienes of the HHO. In all the oils, conjugated fatty acids were present in minor amounts only (<0.5%). Special attention was given to the ω-acids known to be of specific nutritional value. The HSO contained about 32% linoleic acid, whereas the content ofcis, trans+trans, cis andtrans, trans octadecadienoic isomers was 1.7% and 0.5%, respectively. The amount of linoleic acid in the HSO was even higher than that of AO (29%). The HAO contained only 0.8% 18∶2 ω6 (linoleic acid). Further, two 18∶2 fatty acids with ω>6, acis, cis and atrans, trans isomer, were present in small amounts. The HHO contained 0.5% 18∶2 ω6 (linoleic acid). Isomers of 18∶2 ω>6 were also found in the HHO. They may be hydrogenation products of higher unsaturated C18-acids orginally present. All the C20- and C22-dienes and trienes were shown to have an ω-chain greater than 6. Fatty acids with ω6-structure were not formed during partial hydrogenation of the oils studied.  相似文献

The biosynthesis of fatty acids in the diatomPhaeodactylum tricornutum was studied. The diatom was incubated with sodium [114C] acetate and the acids [1-14C] palmitic, [1-14C] stearic, [1-14C] linoleic and [1-14C] α-linolenic. The distribution of radioactivity in the products was determined by gas liquid radiochromatography. The diatom synthesized “de novo” not only saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, but also linoleic, α-linolenic and other fatty acids including the highly polyunsaturated 20∶5ω3 and 22∶6ω3. When labeled acetate, stearic, α-linolenic or even linoleic acid were incubated with the diatom, the polyunsaturated C20 fatty acids synthesized belonged predominantly to the ω 3 family. The existence of Δ9, Δ6, Δ5, Δ4, ω6 and possibly ω3 desaturases inP. tricornutum is suggested.

The total tetracosenoic acid (24∶1) levels in nine marine oils examined ranged from 0.4 to 1.1% of the total fatty acids. Gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) analysis of whole fish oil fatty acid methyl esters usually shows a single 24∶1 peak, as the dominant (60–90%) isomer is 24∶1ω9, and the minor peaks are not seen. Isolation and oxidative fission demonstrate that the lesser isomers present in these oils (in the first peak to elute) include 24∶1ω15, 24∶1ω13 and 24∶1ω11, which are not resolvable from each other on open-tubular GLC; 24∶1ω9 is followed by a peak for 24∶1ω7. The complex first 24∶1 isomer peak of fish oil fatty acids tends to coincide with or just follows the 22∶6ω3 peak in GLC analyses carried out on Carbowax-20M type open-tubular (capillary) columns.

Ester waxes and steryl glycosides of the grass Festuca argentina were studied. Saponification of the waxes from the petroleum ether extract led to n-hexacosanol as the major single linear alcohol, along with pentacyclic triterpenols, such as β-amyrin, germanicol, isobaurenol, lupeol, hopenol-a and hopeol, and low amounts of sterols, such as cholesterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, sitosterol and dihydrositosterol, identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Fatty acids were identified as methyl esters as C12∶0, C14∶0, C16∶0, C18∶0, C18∶2, and C20∶0. The occurrence of a wide chainlength range of fatty acids and a single linear alcohol closely matched for other reports on the tribe Festuceae. On the contrary, pentacyclic triterpenols with a variety of skeletons, especially isobauerenol, are not usual as esters of fatty acids in the Gramineae. Low amounts of steryl glycosides were also obtained from the methylene chloride percolate of the methanol extract. Upon acetylation followed by hydrolysis, aglycones were identified by capillary gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) and GC/MS. As Δ7-cholesterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, sitosterol, dihydrositosterol, and the sugars as glucose, xylose, and arabinose by GLC of the respective alditol acetates. This is the first report on the linear, steryl, and triterpenyl esters of F. argentina. It is noteworthy that Δ7-steryl glycosides are rare, and steryl monoarabinosides have not been proviously reported on the family Gramineae.  相似文献

The degree of glyceride syntheses by lipase TOYO (Chromobacterium viscosum) and lipase OF (Candida cylindracea) using individual free fatty acids C18∶1, C18∶2, C18∶3, C18∶4, C20∶4, C20∶5 and C22∶6 were compared. Lipase TOYO incorporated each of the fatty acids into glycerol at levels of greater than 89%. Lipase OF incorporated most of the fatty acids at levels above 70% (docosahexaenoic acid incorporation was 63%). It was concluded that these two lipases are feasible for producing glycerides from unsaturated fatty acids.  相似文献

Volatile components (hydrocarbons, monoesters, free acids as methyl esters and free alcohols as acetates) of seven unhydrolyzed commercial waxes-ouricury, carnauba, Chinese insect, lac, esparto, candelilla and Japan wax—have been analyzed and compared by gas liquid chromatography. Though appreciable portions of the waxes were nonvolatile, the results were sufficient to distinguish the seven waxes completely. Methanolysis products were analyzed directly by gas liquid chromatography, and the results agreed with those previously obtained for hydrolysis products of these waxes. Ouricury wax gave 18% C24−C34 αω-diols and 4% C24−C32 ω-hydroxy acids, in addition to 28% C20−C32 aciods and 17% C22−C34 alcohols, on methanolysis. NRCC No. 13387.  相似文献

Liver microsomes of the Japanese harvest mouse (Micromys minutus), which is the smallest known mammal among rodents, catalyze the hydroxylation of various fatty acids (C8 to C18) to the corresponding ω-hydroxy and (ω-1)-hydroxy derivatives. Although laurate is most effectively hydroxylated among saturated fatty acids by liver microsomes of other species, harvest mouse liver microsomes most effectively catalyze the hydroxylation of decanoate. From inhibitor and cofactor studies, and from the substrate specificity for hydroxylation, it was concluded that ω- and (ω-1)-hydroxylation of fatty acids are catalyzed by different cytochrome P-450 species in the liver microsomes of the harvest mouse.  相似文献

The green algaPyramimonas grossii orginating in the coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean Argentina was subcultured until a monoalgal culture was obtained. The fatty acid composition of the alga grown in a mineral medium at 12 C was determined by gas liquid chromatography (GLC) on 2 columns. The major fatty acids were oleic, linoleic, palmitic and α-linolenic acids, but the 20-carbon polyunsaturated acids, 20∶4ω6 and 20∶5ω3, respectively, belonging to the linoleic and α-linolenic series, were also found. Incubation with [14C] oleate, [14C] acetate, [14C] linoleate and [14C] α-linolenate suggests that linoleate is not directly converted to α-linolenate. [14C] Acetate was easily converted to palmitic, palmitoleic and oleic acids. However, after 48 hr of incubation, only traces of radioactivity were detected in linoleic acid and no label was found in α-linolenic acid.  相似文献

Neutral lipid, phospholipids and fatty acids of the sea anemonePhymactis clematis from the south-west Atlantic were characterized and quantified in spring and autumn. Neutral lipids predominated over phospholipids in both seasons. Triacylglycerol and diacylglycerol ethers were the major lipids. In spring, an increase of esterified sterols was noted. The major fatty acids found were 22∶5ω3, 20∶5ω3 and 16∶0. The sea anemones were also incubated in vivo with either [1-14C]linoleate or [1-14C] α-linolenate for 2 hr. Isotope incorporation into lipids and their transformations into higher fatty acids were examined. Both precursors were incorporated into the lipids, mainly in triacylglycerols and mono-acylglycerols, while α-linolenate was also incorporated into phospholipids. The radioactive linoleate was elongated to 20∶2, 22∶2 and 24∶2 fatty acids, but not desaturated to 18∶3ω6. α-Linolenate was desaturated by Δ6 desaturase to 18∶4ω3. The specificity of Δ6-desaturase is discussed.  相似文献

Unsaturated fatty acids of mycobacteria   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
The double bond locations have been determined for the mono-unsaturated fatty acids, C14 to C26 ofM. smegmatis andM. bovis BCG. The 14∶1 and 16∶1 fatty acids fromM. smegmatis are principally Δ10, while the 17∶1, 18∶1 and 19∶1 fatty acids from both organisms are Δ9. In the case ofM. smegmatis, the 20∶1, 22∶1 and 24∶1 fatty acids are principally Δ11, Δ13 and Δ15, respectively, while the 22∶1, 24∶1 and 26∶1 fatty acids of BCG are principally Δ13, Δ15 and Δ17, respectively.  相似文献

Tetraselmis suecica andDunaliella tertiolecta were grown for 24 hr in the presence of14C sodium bicarbonate and then fed separately to batches of juvenile oysters,Crassostrea gigas, for 3 days.D. tertiolecta contained fatty acids no longer than C18; 22∶6ω3 was absent inT. suecica. Analysis of the oyster fatty acids by radio gas chromatography (GC) showed that oysters were able to incorporate some of the dietary14C label into long-chain fatty acids not supplied in the diet, e.g., C20 and C22 mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids, and particularly 20∶5ω3. However, the low14C incorporation into fatty acids longer or more unsaturated than those supplied in the diet suggests that elongation and desaturation activity in young oysters is not sufficient to sustain optimum growth.  相似文献
