G DePergola et al.
Alcoholism, clinical and experimental research, 15(2), 184-189 (1991-03-01)
The concentration of ethyl esters of fatty acids as well as the activity of the enzyme synthesizing these esters (fatty acid ethyl ester synthase) were determined in adipose tissue of rats ingesting ethanol (9-16 g/kg body weight/day) for different periods
M A Diczfalusy et al.
European journal of biochemistry, 259(1-2), 404-411 (1999-01-23)
Fatty acid ethyl esters have been detected in high concentrations in organs commonly damaged by alcohol abuse and are regarded as being important non-oxidative metabolites of ethanol. The formation of fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) has been ascribed to two

Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 57(11), 4657-4662 (2009-05-06)
Amaranth oil is rich in linoleic, oleic, and palmitic acids. Structured lipids (SLs) with specific functional and nutritional characteristics can be prepared through chemical or enzymatic interesterification. The aim of this study was to increase the palmitic acid content at
Valery Leytin et al.
Transfusion, 42(6), 711-718 (2002-07-31)
Viability in vivo of novel platelet components cannot be readily determined in human transfusions. Elaboration of valid animal models may be useful for this purpose. Viability of platelet concentrates (PCs) WBC reduced before storage was determined by flow cytometry in
L Dan et al.
Alcoholism, clinical and experimental research, 21(2), 286-292 (1997-04-01)
The possibility that fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs), esterification products of fatty acids and ethanol, are mediators of ethanol-induced organ damage was suggested by an autopsy study in which individuals who died while acutely intoxicated were found to have FAEEs
