The research presented here focuses on investigating the relationship between structure of components and eutectic temperature binary systems designed as phase change material (PCM). For two-component containing long-chain alkanes (n-tetradecane, n-pentadecane, n-hexadecane, or n-heptadecane) decanoic acid 1-decanol, experimental data solid–liquid equilibrium are presented. collected were used ...

Cirrhosis and fibrosis are mainly characterized by the frequent repeated inflammation of renal cells. These disorders may also lead to hepatocarcinoma even death, so we in need complementary alternative medicine treat diseases. The Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) seed is reported have medicinal properties pharmacological activities like anti-inflammatory anti-oxidant. Here, evaluated various e...

The (Zingiber officinale) is a plant of the zingiberáceas family, its rhizome widely used in gastronomy for pungent aroma and flavor. Essential oils (EO) are natural compounds; they have 25 to 70 components with different concentrations. Α-Zingiberene α-Felandrene main volumes between 20% 70%. For extraction AE samples from 10 Colombian geographical locations were used, obtained by microwave ra...

Strain Hxd3, an alkane-degrading sulfate reducer previously isolated and described by Aeckersberg et al. (F. Aeckersberg, F. Bak, and F. Widdel, Arch. Microbiol. 156:5-14, 1991), was studied for its alkane degradation mechanism by using deuterium and (13)C-labeled compounds. Deuterated fatty acids with even numbers of C atoms (C-even) and (13)C-labeled fatty acids with odd numbers of C atoms (C...

The present work shows that when mitochondrial beta-oxidation is stimulated by the hypolipemic, non-beta-oxidizable fatty acid analogue tetradecylthioacetic acid, there is a decrease in the secretion of triacylglycerol in cultured rat hepatocytes. In order to study the effects of tetradecylthioacetic acid in cells with different fatty acid oxidation rates, cells were grown without or with L-car...

Tetradecylthioacetic acid (TTA) 1 is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonist found to improve insulin sensitivity, lower blood lipid levels, enhance fatty acid oxidation, and promote anti-inflammation in vivo. In an attempt to enhance these properties, two key thioether fatty acid (Thefa) lipids, ditetradecylthioacetyl phosphatidylcholine 2 and tritetradecylthioacetyl glycer...

The American cockroach, Periplaneta americana, is a vector of many pathogenic organisms associated with human diseases. Olfaction plays a crucial role in guiding cockroach behaviors and contributes to their ability to transmit pathogens. Odorant binding proteins (OBPs), abundant in the insect olfactory sensilla, are important for insect olfaction. In this study, three OBP genes, PameOBP1, 2 and...
