linoleic acid

The fatty acids are important components of the diet of the higher animals and man. Are not only significant energy contribution almost double the contribution of carbohydrates and proteins, and several have specific metabolic functions.
The structure of the double bonds (unsaturated) of natural fatty acids follows a pattern very characteristic and preserved. In a diunsaturated fatty acid, both double bonds will always separated by an intermediate carbon not involved in the structure of unsaturation.
Linoleic acid is a very abundant in the plant kingdom and the animal essential fatty acid omega-6. The vast majority of vegetable oils (with some exceptions such as olive oil, palm oil or coconut oil) provide significant amounts of linoleic acid.
is in a very small proportion in grains and forage constituting the feeding of ruminants, these animals means that transform linoleic acid in any of the isomers of CLA. Is powerful reducing environment in the rumen biohydrogenation processes where the linoleic acid.
 occurs.
Within the abundant and varied microbiological flora of the rumen, consisting of bacterios and protozoa mainly is the bacteria identified as Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens, who when performing hydrogenation of linoleic acid to transform it into a monounsaturated fatty acid, generates as an intermediary in the process to different isomers of CLA. For its ruminal the LAC origin is identified as "rumen acid"
The effects of the FTA on the immune system are more recent knowledge and relate mainly to the stimulus exerted in the synthesis of IgA, IgG, IgM and significant decrease in IgE levels, so it is presumed that the fatty acid could have beneficial effects in the prevention and  or treatment of certain food allergies.
Similar studies have demonstrated a dose-dependent relationship, the ALC increases the level of lymphocytes in the spleen of mice and secretion of IgG and IgM by these cells. The ALC decreases, interleukin-6 production induced by polysaccharides in peritoneal macrophages, the production of tumor necrosis factor, and prostaglandin production in rat liver.
ALC attributed to the possible antioxidant effect is less clear and more controversial than the biological actions already described. Depending on the type of study is the observed effect. In vivo models CLA produced a significant decrease in levels of peroxides and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, two analytical procedures used to evaluate effects of antioxidants or inhibitors of oxidative stress

Substance P

Substance P is the first neuroactive substance that is proposed as a neurotransmitter. As for the pharmacological properties of substance P, they were demonstrated to check exhibiting potent hypotensive properties that were not blocked by atropine. He was later identified as the first active neuropeptide and was proposed as a neurotransmitter. In the 70s the structure is now known to contain eleven amino acids, of which six corresponding to the C-terminus are essential for its biological activity was determined. Substance P (SP) is a neuropeptide of eleven amino acids, are much smaller than other neurotransmitters amounts, is synthesized in the cell body and transported along the axon to the terminals, it is synthesized as part of a prepropeptide ( preproteins or precursors) of higher molecular weight which then moves to the cisterns of the endoplasmic reticulum, where it is disintegrated to produce a proprotein. The proprotein is transported to the Golgi apparatus, where they may fac...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) has become a growing problem in the medical, psychiatric, neurological, epidemiological, social and economic order, particularly in countries with a high life expectancy Alzheimer's dementia can be classified according to the age of onset in presenile or early onset, which appears before age 65 and senile or late onset, ie onset after age 65. It according to the presence or absence of a family history of the disease is classified into familial AD and sporadic AD, respectively. However, these classifications are not mutually exclusive. The development achieved by genetic has demonstrated the involvement of several chromosomes in the development of the disease. Chromosomes 1, 14 and 21 are associated with familial forms of start precoz. While late onset forms appear linked to chromosomes 12 and 19 In this paper we delved into the study of chromosome 21 and the amyloid beta protein , because there are many findings that relate to deposit excess am...

Se habla de percepciones delirantes cuando sin motivo comprensible racional o emocional se atribuye un significado anormal a percepciones reales. (K. Schneider) They talk about delusional perceptions when no understandable reason rational or emotional meaning attributed to perceptions abnormal real.
