Definition:

  • (7) To metabolize extracellular superoxide radicals effectively at or near cell membranes, we synthesized amphipathic superoxide dismutase (SOD) derivatives (AC-SOD) by covalently linking hydrophobic fatty acids with different chain lengths, such as caprylic acid, capric acid, lauric acid and myristic acid, to the lysyl amino groups of the enzyme.
  • (8) But even Tim Oliver of the Center for Transatlantic Relations at Johns Hopkins University, who advances this vision , says the UK would be a junior partner, dependent on the caprices of European institutions, trying to negotiate bilateral free trade deals from a position of weakness.
  • (9) Milk of Egyptian women contained significantly higher percentages of capric, lauric, myristic, linoleic and arachidonic acids, saturated fatty acids (SFA), and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA).
  • (10) A considerable portion of capric and caprylic acid was absorbed through the lymph duct, although to a lesser extent than was linoleic acid.
  • (11) Lauric and myristic acids were preferentially metabolized to their omega-1 hydroxy counterparts while no hydroxylation occurred when capric acid was used as the substrate.
