And Control

We have previously demonstrated that the lungs of fetuses of alloxan-diabetic rabbits are functionally immature when compared with controls. In this study we have examined pulmonary lavage fluid from fetuses of diabetic and control does for the presence of a surfactant inhibitor, cholesterol content, and phosphatidylcholine (lecithin) fatty acid content. When lavage fluids from fetuses of control and diabetic does were mixed and examined on the surface balance, the measured surfactant content corresponded to the arithmetic average of the surfactant content of the individual fluids, thus ruling out the presence of an excess of a surfactant inhibitor. We were able to demonstrate inhibition of surfactant function when exogenous cholesterol was added to lavage samples, but cholesterol content of lavage fluid from fetuses of diabetic and control does was not significantly different. Finally, the fatty acid composition of surfactant phosphatidylcholine was not different between the two groups. These studies indicate that mechanisms other than the presence of a surfactant inhibitor or altered fatty acid composition must explain the functional immaturity seen in offspring of the diabetic pregnancy.

The Mean

Cholesterol content and fatty acid composition of 29 different most popular hard (Tulum, Teneke Tulum, aged Kashar, and fresh Kashar cheeses) and soft cheese (White Pickled cheeses) samples from the markets ofIzmirinTurkeywere determined by gas chromatography. Cholesterol content of hard and soft cheeses ranged from 46.47 to 138.99 mg/100 g fat. Relative to the mean cholesterol values, the highest cholesterol content was found in fresh Kashar cheese. The fatty acid composition is quite similar in all samples. As concerns the saturated fatty acids, the most abundant in the cheeses investigated were palmitic (C16:0), stearic (C18:0), and myristic acids (C14:0). Palmitic acid levels were found to be the highest of the saturated fatty acid in all samples. Oleic acid content (5.93–29.38 mg/100 g fatty acids) in all cheeses was considerable higher than those of other unsaturated fatty acids. No specific trend or correlation between cholesterol and individual fatty acids was observed.
