Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), the main fat in Mediterranean diet, is consumed both raw and cooked. During cooking process, its major minor fractions are transformed, degraded, oxidized due to exposure heat oxygen. This review examines effect of on EVOO, including modification fatty acids compounds; interaction between EVOO food matrices; migration components from vice versa; how may enhance st...

In rat and some other species a diet with a high caloric per cent of rapeseed oil induces the rapid accumulation in their heart muscles of fat droplets, consisting mainly of triglycerides [ 1, 21. Macroscopically the hearts grow pale and the contractile force of the heart muscles decreases markedly after 2-3 days, The adverse effect of rapeseed oil is mainly caused by erucic acid (cis13-docosen...

Lipid-laden peripheral tissue cells release cholesterol to an extracellular acceptor such as high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Foam cells are formed at the first stage of atherosclerosis development. This study investigated whether sage weed (Salvia plebeia) extract (SWE) influences cholesterol handling of J774A1 murine macrophages. A murine macrophage cell line, J774A1, was used in this study. O...

The objective of this study is to explain the different flotation responses observed in oxidized coal flotation when using a nonpolar flotation collector, dodecane, versus a polar flotation collector, oleic acid. Particularly, the effect of each flotation collector on bubble–coal particle attachment was investigated. Colloidal probe atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to directly measure the...

To ascertain whether used and re-refined lubricant oil absorbed through the skin can produce a genotoxic effect or cytotoxicity in mouse bone marrow cells, we examined the induction of micronucleated erythrocytes of peripheral blood after cutaneous application. Both re-refined and used lubricant oils showed a weak but significant induction of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes compared w...

Conventional hydrocarbon oil cannot adhere effectively to oxidized coal, resulting in a low yield of clean coal. In this study, high-speed homogenizer was used emulsify LDD (laurylamine dipropylene diamine) and kerosene, which enhanced the flotation efficiency The results showed an increase from 4.12% (only kerosene) 23.33% (emulsified oil). An contact angle indicated that mixture reagent can h...

RATIONALE Aggravated atherosclerosis in B lymphocyte-deficient chimeric mice and reduced atherosclerosis after transfer of unfractionated spleen B lymphocytes into splenectomized mice have led to the widely held notion that B lymphocytes are atheroprotective. However, B lymphocytes can be pathogenic, because their depletion by anti-CD20 antibody ameliorated atherosclerosis, and transfer of B2 l...

The work presented in this thesis aims to improve the possibilities for diagnosing contact allergy to oxidized limonene and linalool and to, in patients, study contact allergy from structurally closely related hydroperoxides with regard to their specificity, potency and cross-reactivity. The fragrance terpenes limonene (from citrus oil) and linalool (from lavender oil) are widely used in househ...

introduction oxidative stress is an inevitable consequence of intensive production due to mismatched balance between free radical production and natural antioxidant capacity of animals. reactive oxygen species (ros) refers to a group of free radicals produced by oxidative energy cycle and also recently demonstrated to be as a weapon for macrophage cells. moreover, feed processing phenomena such...
