The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation of dietary and serum phospholipid fatty acids composition and serum lipid levels in postmenopausal women. Data about anthropometry, dietary intake, physical activities, serum lipid profile and serum phospholipid fatty acid composition were collected from eighty-five postmenopausal women. The subjects were classified as normocholesterolemia (NC), moderate hypercholesterolemia(MC) and phyperchollesterolemia(HC) according to their serum total cholesterol (TC) levels based on The Guideline for Korean Hyperlipidemia set/published by The Committee for Hyperlipidemia in Korea. The results were as follows. Total energy intake and the ratio of energy intake to energy expenditure were positively related, while dietary fiber intake was negatively related, with serum TC level. Dietary fat intake was positively related with serum LDL-C level. Dietary cholesterol, saturated fatty acid (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) intake and the ratio of ingested saturated fat and cholesterol to calories (RISCC) were positively related, while the P/S ratio of dietary fat was negatively related, with serum TC and LDL-C levels. Serum phospholipid fatty acids composition was not significantly different among the three groups. SFA of serum phospholipid fatty acids was positively related, while P/S and M/S ratios of serum phospholipid fatiy acids were negatively correlated, with serum TC and LDL-C levels. We recommend that the dietary P/S ratio of postmenopausal women is increased by reducing their dietary SFA intake. With these changes in the diet, serum phospholipid fatty acid composition could be also changed, and serum lipids levels could be improved.

Maize which has very high omega-6 fatty acid content has been used as a main feed grain for Hanwoo beef production to increase marbling, and thus omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids ratio in Hanwoo beef is expected to be biased. To elucidate the current status of omega fatty acids ratio in Hanwoo beef, fatty acid profiles of neutral lipid and phospholipid fraction were analyzed separately using 55 Hanwoo steers' longissimus dorsi muscle slaughtered at Pyeongchang, Korea from Oct. to Nov. 2015. In addition, an association study was conducted to evaluate associations between single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers from references and omega fatty acid profiles in phospholipid of Hanwoo beef samples using analysis of variance (ANOVA). In neutral lipid fraction, composition of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids was higher and polyunsaturated fatty acids was lower compared to those in phospholipid fraction. The mean n-6/n-3 ratios of Hanwoo were $56.059{\pm}16.180$ and $26.811{\pm}6.668$ in phospholipid and neutral lipid, respectively. There were three SNPs showing statistically significant associations with omega fatty acid content. GA type of rs41919985 in fatty acid synthase (FASN) was significantly associated with the highest amount of C20:5 n-3 (p = 0.031). CC type of rs41729173 in fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) was significantly associated with the lowest amount of C22:2n-6 (p = 0.047). AG type of rs42187261 in FADS1 was significantly linked to the lowest concentration of C20:4 n-6 (p = 0.044). The total n-6/n-3 ratio of the steer which has all four SNP types in above loci (27.905) was much lower than the mean value of the total n-6/n-3 ratio in phospholipid of the 55 Hanwoo steers ($56.059{\pm}16.180$). It was found that phospholipid and neutral lipid of Hanwoo have very high n-6/n-3 ratios compared to the reported data from different cow breeds. Four SNPs in genes related with fatty acid metabolism showed significant associations with the fatty acid profile of phospholipid and may have potential as SNP markers to select Hanwoo steers in terms of n-6/n-3 balance in the future.

Chlorella ellipsoidea were cultured in "cold" media starvated with the nitrate and phsophate sources. The effects of the nitrate and phsophate starvation on the biosynthesis of phospholipid and the composition of fatty acids in chloroplasts isolated from these cells were analyzed. The syntheses of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol in the nitrate and phosphate starvation were similarly inhibited as compared with the control but phsophatidylethanolamine synthesis in the nitrate starvation was extremely lower than that in the phosphate starvation. The major fatty acids utilized in phospholipid formation within chloroplasts were palmitic acid and linolenic aicd. However, palmitic acid and stearic acid were dominant in the condition of the nitrate starvation. The levels of palmitic acid were enhanced 3-fold than that of the control. These results suggest that the biosynthesis of phospholipid and the composition of fatty acids were affected by the nitrate and phosphate starvation in the culture media.ure media.

Effect of oral taurine supplementation on plasma total and phospholidpid -fatty acid profiles and their metabolism were evaluated in healthy female adults. Among twenty five female volunteers(23.6$\pm$0.3 years old ) participated in the taruine supplementation program(6g taurine /day), twenty four subjects succesfully completed the 2 week program , and only nine subjects continued to take taurine for another 2 weeks. Levels of plasma fatty acids and taruine were measured by gas-liquid chromatobraphy and an automated amino acid analyzer based on ion exchange chromatography, respectively. Plasma taurine concentration s of the subjects were 108. 7$\pm$3.4 , 184.2$\pm$8.2 and 235.9$\pm$77.0$\mu$emol/L at 0 , 2 and 4 weeks of taurine supplementation. Fatty acid compositions and elongation and desaturation indices of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in plasma total lipids were not influenced by oral taurine supplementation. However, fatty acid compositions and their metabolism in plasma phospholipids were significantly affected by taurine supplementation in female adults. Compared to the values for 0 week, the percentage of saturated fatty acids (SFA) in plasma phospholipid was significantly lowered at 2 weeks, but elevated at 4 weeks of taurine supplementation. In contrast , the percentage of phospholipid PUFA significantly increased at 2 weeks and decreased at 4 weeks of taurine supplementation from to the values for 0 weeks. Foru weeks of oral taurine supplementation signifinatly elevated the eongation index(20 : 4$\omega$6 ⇒22 : 4 $\omega$6, p<0.01), and decreased the desaturation index (20 : 3 $\omega$6 ⇒20 : 4 $\omega$6 , p<0.01) of $\omega$6 fatty acids in plasma phospholipids. Plasma taurine concentration was positively correlated with the percentage of 14 : 0 fatty acids and the enlongation index o f$\omega$3 fatty acids(20 : 5 $\omega$3 ⇒22 : 5 $\omega$3), and thenegatively correlated with the percentage of 20 : 0 in plasma phospholipids. These results indicate that oral taurine supplementation for 4 weeks signidicantly elelvated the percentage of SFA, and lowered the percentage of PUFA in plasma phospholipids with no influence on plasm total fatty aicd composition in healthy female adults.

The biosynthesis of phospholipid and the composition of fatty acid were analyzed in mitochondria isolated from Chlorella ellipsoidea treated with carbon sources (glucose, sucrose, raffinose) during the culture. The growth of Chlorella and total lipid contents in mitochondria treated with various carbon sources was increased to compare with the control. When Chlorella mitochondria was treated with various carbon sources, four kinds of phospholipid were increased predominantly. The major fatty acids utilized for the biosynthesis of the phospholipid were analyzed linoleic acid (average 25.18%) and stearic acid (average 10.52%) in the control. But, it was shown that the major fatty acids in Chlorella mitochondria treated with glucose were stearic acid (average 30.93%), palmitic acid (average 17.47%) and stearic acid (average 20.31%), linoleic acid (average 16.68%) in sucrose treatment and oleic acid (average 17.17%), palmitic acid (average 15.64%) in raffinose treatment.

The effects of potassium chromate (500ppm/500ppm), potassium dichromate (500ppm/500ppm), cobalt chloride (100ppm/10ppm), methylmercuric chloride (100ppm/10ppm) on the biosynthesis of phospholipid and their composition of fatty acids in E.coli and B.subtilis were analyzed. The contents of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylglycerol, cardiolipin and total lipids in treatment with metal compounds were lower to compare with the control. The major fatty acid utilized for biosynthesis of phospholipid was palmitic acid in control of E.coli and B.subtilis. However, in treatment with metal compounds, changes of fatty acid composition utilized for phospholipid formation were as follows. In E.coli major fatty acids were palimitic acid (ave. 26.26%) and cis-vaccenic acid (ave. 10.94%) in treatment with potassium chromate, palmitic acid (ave. 31.41%/31.42%) and stearic acid (ave. 17.92%/19.41%) in treatment with potassium dichromate and cobalt chloride. And in treatment with raethylmercuric chloride, palmitic acid (ave. 26.66%), stearic acid (ave. 15.50%) and cis-vaccenic acid (ave. 20.59%) were used in phospholipid formation. In B.subtilis, the major fatty acid was palmitoleic acid (ave. 15.29% /10.22%) in treatment with potassium chromate and cobalt chloride, and stearic acid (ave. 16.01%) in treatment with potassium dichromate. On the other hand, cis-vaccenic acid (ave. 9.09%), palmitic acid (ave. 17.23%), stearic acid (ave. 6.66%), myristic acid (ave. 6.34%) and lauric acid (ave. 4.75%) were analyzed into major fatty acids in treatment with methylmercuric chloride. As shown in results, specific fatty acid pattern was came out in treatment with metal compounds according to bacteria and treatments.

Since the n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid, docosatetraenoic acid (22:4n-6), is a major functional constituent of avian spermatozoa, the effects of two dietary oils rich in fatty acids which are metabolic precursors of 22:4n-6 on the fatty acid profiles of testicular lipids were investigated during a 39 week period of supplementation from 21 to 60 weeks of age. The effects on liver lipids were determined for comparison. Dietary supplementation of male chickens with Arasco Oil, which provides a large amount of arachidonic acid (20:4n-6), increased the proportion of 20:4n-6 in liver phospholipid by almost 2.5-fold. Although liver phospholipid normally contains very little 22:4n-6, this proportion was significantly increased as a result of Arasco feeding, indicating that the conversion of 20:4n-6 to 22:4n-6 was occurring. The phospholipid of the testis contains much higher proportions of 20:4n-6 and particularly of 22:4n-6 than the liver; supplementation with Arasco Oil significantly increased the proportions of both these polyunsaturates in testis phospholipid but the magnitude of this effect was much lower than that which occurred in the liver. Dietary supplementation with Evening Primrose Oil which contains ${\gamma}-linolenic $ acid (18:3n-6) resulted in significant increases in the proportions of 20:4n-6 and 22:4n-6 in liver phospholipid, although the extent of this increase was less than that produced by the Arasco Oil. By contrast, the feeding of Evening Primrose Oil did not alter the fatty acid composition of phospholipid in the testis. The findings raise the possibility that dietary supplementation with Arasco Oil may modulate the fatty acid profile of avian spermatozoa in a way which could potentially be beneficial for fertility. Moreover, the weights of the testes were almost doubled as a result of supplementation with Arasco Oil or Evening Primrose Oil.

담즙내 지방산의 농도와 그 조성이 콜레스테롤의 과포화와 마찬가지로 담석 형성 과정에 관련이 있는 것으로 여겨지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)의 selected ion monitoring (SIM) 방법을 이용하여 담즙내 23종의 지방산 동시 분석을 시도하였다. 전처리 과정의 첫 단계로 유리 지방산과 인지질 지방산을 분리하기 위해 aminopropyl column을 사용하였고 GC-MS에서의 검출을 위하여 유리 지방산은 MSTFA/TMCS 혼합액으로 유도제화를 실시하였으며 인지질 지방산의 경우는 염기를 이용한 가수분해를 실시한 뒤 위와 동일한 과정으로 유도제화하였다. 이 때의 회수율은 61.1-99.0% 이었으며 각각 3.1-25.6%와 3.8-27.0%의 within-a-day와 day-to-day 분석의 RSD 값을 얻었다. 이 방법을 적용하여 정상인과 담석증 환자의 담즙내에 존재하는 유리 및 인지질 지방산의 농도를 알아보았으며 이 때 각 물질들의 농도와 분포가 두 군간에 차이를 나타냄을 알 수 있었다.

The effects of dietary n-3 fatty acids, ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid (18:3), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6), on brain phospholipid content and fatty acid composition were compared in rats fed with a diet containing constant ratios of saturated fatty acid/monounsaturated fatty acid/polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and n-3/n-6. The dietary fat in each diet was added at the level of 10%. In each diet, n-3 PUFA comprised two-thirds of the PUFA and the remaining one-third was linoleic acid (18:2). Dietary fat containing linoleic acid as the sole source of PUFA was also given to the control group. The content of brain phospholipid in the three n-3 PUFA groups was significantly lower than that of the linoleic acid group. This reduction was greater in the EPA and DHA groups than in the ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid group. The decrease in phospholipid content in rats fed n-3 fatty acid-rich diets was largely due to the decrease in the phosphatidylethanolamine fraction. Each dietary n-3 PUFA was found to affect the fatty acid composition of brain phospholipids; the most pronounced alteration was observed in phosphatidylethanolamine fraction. Furthermore, the proportion of DHA in the phosphatidylethanolamine fraction tended to be higher in the DHA group than in other PUFA groups. In conclusion, dietary ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid, EPA and DHA can influence the phospholipid content, phospholipid subclass, and fatty acid composition in rat brain.
