Notes:
The lipid composition and certain structural and functional features of liver and heart mitochondria and microsomes have been investigated in pigs fed diets containing 0%, 15%, 30%“Toprina” (dried biomass of Candida lipolytica grown on n-alkanes). The presence of “Toprina” in the diets and its odd-chain higher fatty acids (HFA) (especially 17:1 and 17:2) in total lipids, phospholipids, and neutral lipids of pig liver and heart mitochondria and microsomes does not result in any variations of membrane fluidity (evaluated by the unsaturation index, the unsaturation index/% of total saturated HFA, and by fluorescence polarization of perylene), nor does it result in changes of mitochondrial ATPase activity, sensitive to membrane lipid composition.
