We have investigated the results of alterations in indices pro-oxidant (conjugated diene and malondialdehyde) antioxidant (superoxide dismutase, ceruloplasmin, catalase) systems guinea pigs’ lungs under conditions immobilization stress. The experiment was conducted on 40 female pigs weighing 0.18-0.20 kg. animals were divided into 4 groups, each contained 10 pigs: I – intact (control), II–guine...

Abstract In this study, safflower oil oleogels were made using propolis wax and carnauba in three different concentrations each, their effectiveness as a fat substitute cake was evaluated afterward. Oleogels' oxidative stability characterization looked into. oleogels, the binding capacity, solid content, crystallization time all assessed. The cakes underwent an examination for moisture texture,...

Osteoarthritis (OA) affects a large segment of the aging population and is a major cause of pain and disability. At present, there is no specific treatment available to prevent or retard the cartilage destruction that occurs in OA. Recently, glucosamine sulfate has received attention as a putative agent that may retard cartilage degradation in OA. The precise mechanism of action of glucosamine ...

Much data has accumulated supporting a proatherogenic role for oxidized low density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL). Micronutrient antioxidants such as alpha-tocopherol, the principal lipid-soluble antioxidant, assume potential significance because levels can be manipulated by dietary measures without resulting in side effects. Co-incubation of LDL in vitro with alpha-tocopherol inhibits its oxidative mod...

Conjugated dienyl compounds make one of the main groups of lepidopteran sex pheromones, and GC has been frequently used to determine the configurations of the double bonds. However, the separation of two geometric isomers of a terminal-conjugated diene, such as 7,9-decadien-1-ol secreted by a nettle moth Parasa lepida lepida (Limacodidae), is assumed to be difficult. In order to clarify the chr...

Samples taken during deuteration of methyl linoleate with the title catalysts were separated into saturate, monoene and diene fractions. Monoenes were further separated into cis and trans fractions. A comparison of the double bond distribution in monoenes with those from hydrogenation of alkaliconjugated !inoleate indicated that up to 59% of the !inoleate was reduced through a conjugated interm...
