The present study was conducted to investigate the protective role of Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids against lead acetate-induced toxicity in liver and kidney of female rats. Animals were divided into four equal groups; group 1 served as control while groups 2 and 3 were treated orally with Omega-3 fatty acids at doses of 125 and 260 mg/kg body weight, respectively, for 10 days. These grou...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary supplements with lead acetate and aluminosilicates (ATN) on antioxidative enzyme activities and lipid peroxidation of the heart and skeletal muscle tissues of broiler chickens. Broilers were allotted to four diets including the control group, the Pb group, the aluminosilicate-ATN (antitoxic nutrient) group and the Pb+ATN group, i...

The combined anaerobic-aerobic conditions in air-cathode single-chamber MFCs were used to completely mineralize pentachlorophenol (PCP; 5 mg/L), in the presence of acetate or glucose. Degradation rates of 0.140 ± 0.011 mg/L-h (acetate) and 0.117 ± 0.009 mg/L-h (glucose) were obtained with maximum power densities of 7.7 ± 1.1 W/m(3) (264 ± 39 W/m(2), acetate) and 5.1 ± 0.1 W/m(3) (175 ± 5 W/m(2)...

We have used a 3-h primed continuous infusion of [1,2-13C]acetate in five fasted (24 h) volunteers to quantify splanchnic and leg acetate metabolism ( protocol 1). Fractional extraction of acetate by both tissues was high (∼70%), and simultaneous uptake and release of acetate were observed. Labeled carbon recovery in CO2 was 37.9 ± 2.3% at the whole body level, 37.7 ± 1.5% across the splanchnic...

Ethyl 2-[2-(4-nitrobenzoyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]acetate was prepared in good yield and characterized by the aza-alkylation/intramolecular Michael cascade reaction of (E)-ethyl 3-[2-(tosylamino)phenyl]acrylate with 2-bromo-4′ ′-nitroacetophenone, followed by desulfonative dehydrogenation with 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) The structure of the newly synthesized compound was determined using ...

In the title compound, C(23)H(19)NO(4)S(2), the indole ring system makes dihedral angles of 89.6 (1) and 84.5 (8)° with the phenyl-sulfonyl and phenyl-sulfanyl rings, respectively. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked into C(10) chains running along the c axis by an inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond. In addition, the crystal packing is stabilized by C-H⋯π inter-actions.

The title compound, C(18)H(14)O(2), is almost planar with a dihedral angle of 1.24 (2)° between the phenyl-ethynyl and styryl groups. The acet-oxy group is tilted by 82.46 (2) and 82.26 (3)° with respect to the benzene ring planes.

In the title compound, C(29)H(22)Br(2)O(3), the dihedral angles between the mean planes of the benzene rings within each biphenyl group are 26.7 (8) and 30.9 (8)°. The mean planes of the terminal and inner benzene rings of the biphenyl groups bonded through a propan-1-one group in the V-shaped mol-ecule are oriented at angles of 66.1 (7) and 60.0 (8)°, respectively. The two Br atoms are opposit...

The title compound, C(13)H(14)O(4), belongs to the class of α,β-unsaturated ketones, which have potential bactericidal, fungicidal, anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory properties. The C atoms and attached H atoms of the ethenyl part of the title mol-ecule are disordered over two orientations with refined occupancies of 0.583 (7) and 0.417 (3). Mol-ecules are connected by two inter-molecular C-H⋯O ...

Nanofiltration (NF) is promising for replacing reverse osmosis boron removal more effectively and at a higher energy efficiency. However, the interplay of steric charge effects underlying rejection behaviors solutes smaller than membrane pore size remained incompletely understood, which impedes implementation. This study investigated influence pH NaCl concentration on boric acid/borate by Desal...
