BACKGROUND Fat-rich diet may alter oocyte development and maturation and embryonic development by inducing oxidative stress (OS) in follicular environment. OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between fat intake and oxidative stress with oocyte competence and embryo quality. MATERIALS AND METHODS In observational study follicular fluid was collected from 236 women undergoing assisted r...

BACKGROUND Numerous strategies have evolved recently for the generation of genetically modified or synthetic microalgae and cyanobacteria designed for production of ethanol, biodiesel and other fuels. In spite of their obvious attractiveness there are still a number of challenges that can affect their economic viability: the high costs associated with (1) harvesting, which can account for up to...

Cow manure (CM) generation in large volumes has for long been considered a waste management challenge. However, the organic content of CM signals opportunities production value-added bioproducts such as volatile fatty acids (VFAs) through anaerobic digestion (AD). robust VFAs fermentation process requires effective methane formation inhibition and enhance recovery. In this study, thermal pretre...

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been widely used for lignocellulose fractionation and lignin isolation. However, the effect of IL treatment on structure has less explored. This study aimed to explore chemical isolated by imidazolium based ILs compare it with well-known milled wood (MWL). Four types were used, effects conditions (ILL) characteristics evaluated. As temperature was increased from 60 140 ...
