The composition of the phospholipids and of the total phospholipid fatty acids was determined in the plasma of 10 normal subjects. In addition the fatty acid composition of the plasma phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl serine, lecithin, sphingomyelin, and lysolecithin of 6 of the subjects was measured. A wide array of fatty acids was found in the plasma total phospholipid similar to that f...

in present investigation the biological leaching of aluminum by isolated fungi from red mud, the main waste product of the alkaline extraction of al from bauxite was studied. biological leaching experiments were carried out using indigenous, date and orange specimen fungi, aspergillus niger, penicillium simplicissimum notatum. savored dextrose chloramphenicol agar (sda) was used as medium for t...

Folic acid deficiency is very common in elderly patients who have a mean red cell volume greater than 94 fl. Eighteen out of 40 elderly patients with red cell macrocytosis who initially had normal red cell folate and serum B12 levels subsequently developed folic acid deficiency.

An increased rate of fatty acid transport into skeletal muscle has been has been linked to the accumulation of intramuscular lipids and insulin resistance, and red muscles are more susceptible than white muscles in developing fatty acid-mediated insulin resistance. Therefore, we examined in Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats, relative to lean rats, 1) whether rates of fatty acid transport and tra...

The fermentation and quality characteristics of kimchi, made by adding different types of red pepper (semi-dried red pepper, fresh red pepper, dried red pepper) according to drying conditions, were examined for 15 days at 10C fermentation. The initial pH was approximately 5.65~5.72 in all groups, and the pH decreased with increasing fermentation time. The color value of a/b showed the highest i...

Sequencing of the S1 genes of nine Australian strains of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) identified two genotypically distinct groups of strains. The strains Vic S, V5/90, N1/62, N3/62, N9/74, and N2/75 comprised group I, sharing 80.7-98.3% identity in their deduced amino acid sequences. All group I strains were able to replicate in the trachea and kidney but only four strains, Vic S, N1/62, ...
