Nuggets Coach George Karl is considering playing the new players in the same rotation to maintain fluidity.
The saturated FA content in biodiesel can increase its resistance to oxidation under high ambient temperatures, while unsaturated FAs can maintain fluidity at low temperatures [ 26].
Second, to maintain fluidity of lipid fuel depots at the low body temperature (Tb) during hibernation requires an increase in their polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) content, which is highly susceptible to lipid peroxidation [15,16].
LCPUFAs are required by the placenta for membrane synthesis and to maintain fluidity for intercellular signaling [5].
In addition, homeoviscous adaptations, i.e. increased polyunsaturation of membrane phospholipids that maintain membrane fluidity in the brain during prolonged exposure to cold temperature [6], [7] enhance the susceptibility to oxidative stress [8].
This preferential channeling of linoleic acid towards phospholipid synthesis may be a compensatory mechanism to maintain membrane fluidity in the absence of monounsaturated fatty acids.
OsFAD7 has been reported to be highly induced by extreme temperature, and is involved in membrane stability [ 44], indicating it plays a crucial role in maintaining cell membrane fluidity in K354 under cold stress.
To survive in a cold-stress environment, bacterial cells usually modify the cell membrane to maintain membrane fluidity and macromolecular structural integrity in proteins and ribosomes [ 21, 22] and synthesize cold shock proteins [ 23].
High levels of unsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids, are present in plant oils and maintain the fluidity of cell membranes.
