Saturated Fatty Acids Analysis Service

A saturated fatty acid has no double bonds between the carbons. It has the maximum possible number of hydrogen atoms attached to every carbon atom. Therefore, it is said to be "saturated" with hydrogen atoms, and all of the carbons are attached to each other with single bonds.

Saturated fatty acids occur naturally in many foods. The majority come from animal sources, including meet, salmon, egg yolks, butter, cheese and cream. In addition, many fried foods contain high levels of saturated fats. Oils, such as palm oil, palm kernel oil, and coconut oil, also contain a high amount of saturated fatty acids.

A high consumption of saturated fatty acids has been shown to play negative roles in human health. A lowered intake of saturated fatty acids has commonly been indicated for improved cardiovascular health. Saturated fatty acid is also a paracrine mediator of inflammation. It has been demonstrated to be a ligand for TLR4, and exert proinflammatory effects by activating NFkB pathway. The profiling of saturated fatty acids is widely used for investigating nutritional status, metabolic status as well as potential biomarker discovery.

Creative Proteomics is equipped with GC mass spectrometers that allows sensitive, reliable and accurate identification and quantitation of saturated fatty acids.

From Our Clients

"I recently used their proteomics service for a project analyzing protein interactions in yeast models. The team was very responsive and helped clarify the methodology they employed, which made me feel confident in the results. The data quality was solid, with clear identification of several key proteins involved in our study. Their thorough analysis enabled me to pinpoint specific interactions that I hadn't considered before, which significantly improved the direction of my research. I appreciate their professionalism and support throughout the process."

Sarah Thompson, University of California, Berkeley

"Our lab collaborated with them on a project studying cancer biomarkers. The proteomics analysis provided was detailed and focused, specifically highlighting the differential expression of proteins between healthy and tumor samples. Their clear explanations of the data helped my team understand the biological implications. I also appreciated their willingness to revise the reports based on our feedback, ensuring that we had everything we needed for our publication. This collaborative spirit was invaluable."

Emily Rodriguez, Stanford University

"Our lab worked with them on a project studying the effects of diet on gut microbiota using proteomics. They used a label-free quantification method to analyze proteins in fecal samples before and after dietary intervention. The results showed significant changes in protein expression linked to microbial activity. This was pivotal for our hypothesis about diet-microbiota interactions. The clarity of their data presentation made it easy for our team to integrate these findings into our ongoing research."

Dr. Lisa Wong, University of Toronto

"My experience with Creative Proteomics during the mass spectrometry analysis was excellent. We sent in human saliva and mouse brain tissue samples, which they expertly analyzed using both LC-MS and GC-MS techniques. The results were invaluable, revealing key metabolites in the saliva and identifying biomarkers linked to brain function in the brain tissue."

Dr. Emily Carter, Senior Research Scientist

"The overall service from Creative Proteomics was outstanding. They made the entire process seamless and efficient, allowing us to focus on our research. We worked with leaf and root samples from various Arabidopsis genotypes for targeted metabolomics analysis. Their thorough profiling of primary and secondary metabolites gave us important insights into how the plants respond metabolically to environmental stress."

Dr. Laura Henderson, Plant Physiologist

"We had a pleasant collaboration with Creative Proteomics on mass spectrometry analysis of lipids. They conducted a detailed analysis of lipid species, providing us with important insights into lipid metabolism and its relationship with metabolic syndrome disease states."

Dr. Sarah Mitchell, Research Scientist
