The role of dietary fats and oils in human nutrition is one of the most important areas of concern and investigation in the field of nutritional science. The findings of investigations on this subject have wide-ranging implications for consumers, health-care providers and nutrition educators as well as food producers, processors and distributors. New evidence concerning the benefits and risks a...

The effect of alkyl substituents on the C-phenyl and/or the N-Phenyl ring of benzophenylhydroxamic acid on their molecular structure and hydrogen bonding has been investigated. The predominant configuration in CHCl3 is determined by steric and electronic effects. Substituents on the C-phenyl ring favor the cis configuration, while substituents in the N-phenyl ring favor a trans c...

The purpose of this study was to differentiate post-chemoradiotherapy (CRT) changes from tumor persistence/recurrence in early follow-up naso-oropharyngeal carcinoma on magnetic resonance (MRI) with diffusion (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced perfusion-weighted imaging (DCE-PWI). A total 37 patients were assessed MRI both for staging 4-month ending CRT. Mean apparent coefficient (ADC) values,...

The physical and biological properties have been determined for three Pt(IV) complexes with trans amine ligands: trans,trans,trans-[PtCl(2)(OH)(2)(dimethylamine)(isopropylamine)] (1(IV)), trans,trans,trans-[PtCl(2)(OH)(2)(dimethylamine)(methylamine)] (2(IV)) and trans,trans,trans-[PtCl(2)(OH)(2)(isopropylamine)(methylamine)] (3(IV)). The crystal structures of 2(IV) and 3(IV) reveal substantial ...

It has come to our attention that the following sentence contains an error: “However, while octahedra in MIL-53 are cis-connected, CAU-10 trans-connected.” The words “cis” and “trans” should be swapped read trans-connected, cis-connected.”

amyloid-β (aβ) self-assembly into cross-β amyloidfibrils is implicated in a causative role in alzheimer’s disease pathology.uncertainties persist regarding the mechanisms of amyloid self assembly and the role of metastable prefibrillar aggregates. aβ fibrilsfeature a sheet-turn-sheet motif in the constituent β-strands; as such, turn nucleation has been proposed as a rate-limiting step in the se...

trans-Resveratrol (trans-3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene) is a nonflavonoid polyphenol reported to exert different biological activities, among them inhibition of the lipid peroxidation, scavenging of the free radicals, inhibition of the platelet aggregation, and anticancer activity as the most important. In order to enlighten the radical-scavenging mechanism of trans-resveratrol, stationary gamma-ra...
