To investigate the role of hepatic 18-carbon fatty acids (FA) accumulation in regulating CYP2A5/2A6 and the significance of Nrf2 in the process during hepatocytes steatosis, Nrf2-null, and wild type mice fed with high-fat diet (HFD), and Nrf2 silenced or over expressed HepG2 cells administered with 18-carbon FA were used. HE and Oil Red O staining were used for mice hepatic pathological examina...

We investigated the effects of fermented red beet extract and ascorbic acid on color development in meat emulsions. The pH of meat emulsions containing red beet extract decreased with an increase in the amount of extract added. The redness of the treated meat emulsions was higher than that of the control with no added nitrite or fermented red beet extract (p<0.05), though the redness of the mea...

background: the presence of even a very small quantity of dye in water bodies is undesirable and affects the water bodies. dye removal from industrial waste water is significant; hence in this study, a material that is an economical waste product was employed to test its acid dye removing capacity from aqueous solution. methods: in this study, batch mode experiments were performed in the sorpti...

To evaluate the effects of endurance training in rats on fatty acid metabolism, we measured the uptake and oxidation of palmitate in isolated rat hindquarters as well as the content of fatty acid-binding proteins in the plasma membranes (FABP(PM)) of red and white muscles from 16 trained (T) and 18 untrained (UT) rats. Hindquarters were perfused with 6 mM glucose, 1,800 microM palmitate, and [1...

a high performance liquid chromatography method was studied for determination of 18 ?-glycyrrhetinic acid in glycyrrhiza glabra l. (licorice) extract. the operating condition were c-18 reversed phase column (vp-ods, (250×4.6 mm, 5 mm)) at room temperature, acetonitril/phosphoric acid (3/1) as mobile phase, at flow rate of 0.6ml/min (0-8min), 0.4ml/min (8-20min) and uv detection at 230 nm. the r...

&#x0D; This research was aimed to determine the effect of sucrose concentration on characteristics red guava probiotic juice with Lactobacillus sp. F213 isolates and right that produced best juice. used a completely randomized design as treatments, which consisted six levels: 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% 10%. Each treatment repeated 3 times obtain 18 units samples. The data lactic acid bacteria total wer...

The properties of Na+-dependent L-alanine transport in human erythrocytes were investigated using K+ as the Na+ substitute. Initial rates of Na+-dependent L-alanine uptake (0.2mM extracellular amino acid) for erythrocytes from 22 donors ranged from 40 to 180pmol/litre of cells per h at 370C. Amino acid uptake over the concentration range 0.1-8mm was consistent with a single saturable component ...
