Divergent effects of monomethyl branched-chain fatty acids on energy metabolism and insulin signaling in human myotubes by Parmeshwar Bajirao Katare, Ragna H. Tingstad, Sivar T. Beajani, Jørgen Pasjkurov Indseth, Vibeke H. Telle-Hansen, Mari C.W. Myhrstad, Arild C. Rustan, Lars Eide, Oliwia Witczak, Vigdis Aas

“…Branched-chain fatty acids (BCFAs) are predominantly saturated fatty acids with one or more methyl branches on the carbon chain, typically found in dairy products and measured in micromolar concentrations in human plasma. The biological function of BCFAs in humans remains ill-defined, but a relationship between circulating BCFAs and cardiometabolic health has been suggested. …”

The aggregation, rheological and structural properties of casein-dextran colloids induced by critical-zone-intensity ultrasound by Binsha Peng, Songlin Wen, Wenchong He, Chongde Wu, Jun Huang, Rongqing Zhou, Nicolas Hengl, Frederic Pignon, Yao Jin

“…The results suggested that CZ-US treatments unfolded the protein tertiary/quaternary structure to expose hydrophobic/hydrophilic amino acid groups, and partially affected the aggregation and flow behaviors, without altering the secondary structures of proteins and functional groups for casein-dextran colloids. CZ-US treatments enabled particle size distribution of casein-dextran colloids transform from multimodal to unimodal. …”
