General description

Methyl linoleate, non-conjugated, is more easily oxidized than conjugated methyl linoleate .

Application

The oxidation of methyl linoleate in organic solution and phosphatidylcholine (PC) in liposomal membranes induced by an azo initiator has often been used as a model for lipid peroxidation in vivo .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Methyl linoleate may be used as a model compound in oxidation/peroxidation assays to evaluate the anti-peroxidation activity of fullerenes, ellagitannins and other natural products.

Ellagitannins from red raspberries (Rubus idaeus) and cloudberries (Rubus chamaemorus) were isolated by using column chromatography and preparative HPLC. The berry phenolic isolates consisted of 80% (cloudberry) and of 60% (raspberry) of ellagitannins, with raspberries also containing anthocyanins. The main

Hypoxia is a well-established feature of prostate cancer (PCa) and is associated with disease aggressiveness. The hypoxic microenvironment initiates multiple adaptive responses including epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and a remodeling of calcium homeostasis involved in cancer progression.

Pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA)-containing plants are widespread in the world and are probably the most common poisonous plants affecting livestock, wildlife, and human. PAs require metabolic activation to generate pyrrolic metabolites (dehydro-PAs) that bind cellular protein and DNA, leading to hepatotoxicity
