Biochem/physiol Actions

DL-β-Hydroxymyristic acid (3-HTA) is a mixture of D- and L-β-hydroxymyristic acid enantiomers. 3-Hydroxytetradecanoic acids are used to study their roles in biological processes such as oxidative stress, inflammation and insulin resistance. 3-HTA is also used in endotoxin and lipid A research.

Starchy diets can induce hindgut dysbiosis in horses. The present study evaluated the impact of a yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and microalgae (Aurantiochytrium limacinum) supplementation on caecal, colonic and faecal microbial ecosystem and on blood inflammatory parameters of horses fed high-fibre

New quantitative method for the detection of minute amounts of endotoxin has been developed using 3-hydroxytetradecanoic acid as a chemical marker. After converting 3-hydroxytetradecanoic acid to methyl ester, it was coupled with a fluorescent probe, anthracene-9-carboxyl chloride, obtained by chlorization

Medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHA) consisting of 3-hydroxyhexanoate (HHx), 3-hydroxyoctanoate (HO), 3-hydroxydecanoate, 3-hydroxydodecanoate, and high-content 3-hydroxytetradecanoate (HTD) was produced by knockout mutant Pseudomonas putida KT2442 termed P. putida KTOY06. When grown on 6 to14 g/L single-carbon-source tetradecanoic acid, P. putida KTOY06, which
