(2) Cytochrome P-450 IVA1 (or a very closely related isoenzyme in the same gene family) was a major constitutive haemoprotein in rat kidney microsomes and actively supported the omega-hydroxylation of lauric acid.

(4) Unlike Escherichia coli, the two Vibrio species can directly elongate fatty acids such as octanoic (C8:0), lauric (C12:0), and myristic acid, as demonstrated by radio-gas liquid chromatography.
(5) During culture the lauric acid hydroxylation activity decreases.
(6) Three of the five additional CYP52 genes could be successfully expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and display different substrate specificities in in vitro assays with model substrates: alk2 and alk3 exhibit a strong preference for hexadecane, while alk4 and alk5 preferentially hydroxylate lauric acid.
(7) The addition of Azone (3%) or lauric acid (BH: lauric acid molar ratio, 1:1) considerably increased BH penetration to a relatively large penetration rate.
(8) Tetrahymena cells elongated and desaturated massive supplements of palmitic or lauric acid at nearly twice the rates employed by unfed cells, thereby maintaining constant the physical properties of their membrane lipids.
(9) A double fatty acid yeast mutant, FAI-4C, grown in combinations of unsaturated (oleic, linoleic, linolenic, and eicosenoic) and saturated (lauric and palmitic) fatty acids, was employed to modify mitochondrial membranes.
(10) injection capric, lauric, myristic, palmitic and stearic acid delayed the onset of picrotoxin-induced clonic convulsion in a dose-dependent manner.
(11) We have investigated the high-affinity lipid binding site associated with lipid activation of pyruvate oxidase by covalent attachment of [14C]lauric acid to the enzyme.
(12) The fatty acids like lauric acid and palmitic acid are found to be common in both the germplasm seed samples, while linoleic and oleic acids in Kerala germplasm and stearic acid in Tamilnadu germplasm are present.
(13) Furthermore, lauric acid conjugation of one of the substances led to the appearance of an in vitro mitogen-like activity for murine spleen lymphocytes.
(14) Increased conversion of 14C-arachidonic acid to hydroxy fatty acids (HHT and HETE) was observed in the presence of stearic acid (10 min incubation) and lauric acid (30 sec incubation).
(15) Under these conditions, unlike lauric and myristic acids, it was observed that palmitic acid was first converted to its monohydroxy isomers which were subsequently metabolized to a mixture of 14-ketohexadecanoic, 15-ketohexadecanoic, 13-hydroxy-14-ketohexadecanoic, 14-hydroxy-15-ketohexadecanoic, and 13,14-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acids with a relative distribution of 8:2:40:30:20, respectively.
(16) The plant genus Cuphea (family Lythraceae) promises to provide a new source of industrially and nutritionally important medium-chain fatty acids, especially of lauric acid now supplied exclusively by coconut and palm kernel oils from foreign sources.
(17) Bovine, human and rat serum albumins were defatted and palmitic acid, oleic acid and lauric acid added in various molar ratios.
(18) Myristic and palmitic acids were converted to the corresponding omega-and (omega-1)-hydroxy fatty acids, whereas lauric acid was converted only to 12-hydroxylauric acid, and capric acid, to 9-and 10-hydroxycapric acids together with an unknown polar acid.
(19) This alteration did not prevent the function and the localization of P450alk expressed in S. cerevisiae, as this organism showed an acquired microsome-bound activity for the terminal hydroxylation of lauric acid.
(20) Palmitic acid was less hypercholesterolemic than lauric plus myristic acids.
Laurin
Definition:
(n.) A white crystalline substance extracted from the fruit of the bay (Laurus nobilis), and consisting of a complex mixture of glycerin ethers of several organic acids.
Example Sentences:
(1) In both the control subjects and the patients, the angle of Laurin et al.
(2) The methods of Insall and Salvati, Blackburne and Peel, Caton and Laurin of assessing the vertical position of the patella, were applied on 200 normal knees.
(3) Laurin's method was insufficient as it showed 50% of the patellas to be high riding.
(4) The amount of lateral patellar tilt was quantitatively assessed using the lateral patellofemoral angle, as described by Laurin et al., and the congruence angle, as described by Merchant et al.
