Abstract:

The use of low-value organic residues as a component of microbial growth media has potential to lower input costs for industrial fermentation. Wastewaters generated from meat rendering plants are enriched with high levels of organic matter and nutrients. The thesis focused on understanding the significance of using red meat processing wastewater as a microbial growth substrate for nutrient recovery, via the production of value-added products such as fatty acids, amino acids, and lipases. The study included detailed phenotypic and genotypic characterisation of five uncharacterised Yarrowia lipo

Abstract:

Energy and vegetable oil prices have caused many biodiesel producers to turn to waste cooking oils as feedstocks. These oils contain high levels of free fatty acids (FFAs) which make them difficult or impossible to convert to biodiesel by conventional production methods. Esterification is required for ultra-high FFA feedstocks such as Brown Grease. In addition, ultrasonic irradiation has the potential to improve the kinetics of the esterification reaction. 2-level, multi-factor DOE experiments were conducted to characterize the esterification reaction in ultra-high FFA oils as well as determin

Abstract:

Prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is still rising and even so in the juvenile population. Obesity is highly associated with increased risk for developing T2DM. The development has been related to elevated fasting concentrations of the pancreatic islet hormones insulin and glucagon as well as to an increase in plasma lipids that occurs during obesity. Specifically, research has indicated that chronic exposure to high levels of saturated free fatty acids cause dysfunction in islet alpha- and beta-cells. Fatty acids can affect islet cells by various mechanisms one of which is the G-pr

The objective of this study was to create an omega-3 enriching feed that would increase omega-3 content in tilapia and subsequently decrease the omega-6:3 ratio.

Abstract:

The mechanisms underlying the development of insulin resistance in skeletal muscle are very complex and are not completely understood. Insulin resistance in skeletal muscle is of particular importance because muscle is the major site of insulin stimulated glucose uptake. Skeletal muscle is one of the major insulin sensitive organs and it is responsible for 80% of insulin stimulated glucose disposal as well as fatty acid oxidation. Elevated circulating free fatty acids (FFAs) and their derivatives such as endocannabinoids (ECs) have been described in obesity and are thought to be influential in

Abstract:

Medium and long chain fatty acids exhibit affinity for free-fatty acid receptor 1 (FFA1) and 4 (FFA4). FFA1 and FFA4 are expressed in the pancreas with a third lipid G-protein coupled receptor, GPR119, and all three GPCRs are also highly expressed by gastrointestinal (GI) enteroendocrine L cells, which release glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and peptide YY (PYY). GLP-1 is a stimulant of insulin secretion postprandially, whereas PYY slows GI motility and reduces food intake. The receptor expression patterns raise these receptors’ potential as targets for anti-diabetic and anti-obesity therapeut

A photoreactive free fatty acid analogue, 12-[(4- azidosalicyl)amino]dodecanoic acid (ASD), and its 125I-labeled derivative acted as substrates for the NAPE synthase enzyme.

To examine LXRα’s associations with cellular inflammation, PBMCs were stimulated with palmitate. Finally, telomere length was quantified as an indicator of cellular age.

Biodiesel is the most successful drop-in biofuel used in transportation. It can reduce GHG emissions in transportation by 50 to 90% depending on the type of feedstock used. Waste cooking oils and fats containing free fatty acids (FFA) are less expensive feedstocks for biodiesel production than refined vegetable oils. The major issue that limits the use of these oils as feedstock is the interference of FFAs with widely used base catalyzed reaction processes. The FFAs consume base catalyst, produce water of neutralization and form soaps that create emulsions downstream in the process reducing pr

Seafood represents the most important source of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) in the human diet. However, consuming fish can present risks from persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that bioaccumulate in edible tissues following dietary exposure. In farmed fish, POPs accumulate as a result of feeding diets based on fish oil (FO). Fish oil substitution can reduce POP accumulation, but also results in loss of beneficial LC-PUFAs. Fish oil-based finishing diets at the end of production can restore LC-PUFAs, but this strategy also increases POPs. The present study assessed the u

Abstract:

The main objective of this thesis was to gain new insights in three of Florida’s high value food and stock enhancement finfish nutrition (Common snook, Florida pompano and red drum) to improve larviculture protocols. The main bottleneck in snook production is the extremely low larval survival rate, which hinders subsequent research. This work first focused on the source of the larvae by looking at potential nutritional deficiencies in captive broodstock. The lipid composition of wild and captive common snook broodstock were compared to identify disparities and gain the information necessary fo

Abstract:

Kidney disease is a major challenge for health care systems, and the prevalence is increasing. Proteinuria is a hallmark of progressive renal dysfunction and describes the pathological excess of plasma proteins in urine, mainly albumin. Multiple Myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells that leads to excessive presence of free light chain protein (FLC) in blood. Renal failure due to overproduction of FLC and the associated light chain proteinuria occurs as a result of decreased renal function or as a direct toxic effect on the proximal tubular cells (PTCs) by excessive protein. Proteins are normally

Tese de Doutoramento em Ciência e Tecnologia Animal<br>Contribuição para o estudo da composição lipídica e do valor nutricional da gordura intramuscular na carne de ruminantes - A composição em ácidos gordos e o ácido linoleico conjugado (CLA) são temas actuais de grande interesse, com particular relevância para a qualidade da carne e saúde humana. As carnes de ruminantes têm sido consideradas alimentos pouco saudáveis, principalmente devido à sua fracção lipídica com elevada concentração em ácidos gordos saturados. Contudo, as gorduras edíveis dos ruminantes são a principal fonte natur
