We examined the movement of [3H]palmitate across giant sarcolemmal vesicles prepared from red and white muscle of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Red and white muscle fatty acid carriers have similar affinities for palmitate (apparent Km = 26 +/- 6 and 33 +/- 8 nM, respectively); however, red muscle has a higher maximal uptake compared with white muscle (Vmax = 476 +/- 41 vs. 229 +/- 23 pm...

We investigated the effects of fermented red beet extract and ascorbic acid on color development in meat emulsions. The pH of meat emulsions containing red beet extract decreased with an increase in the amount of extract added. The redness of the treated meat emulsions was higher than that of the control with no added nitrite or fermented red beet extract (p<0.05), though the redness of the mea...

Mature human erythrocytes were incubated with (14)C-labeled palmitic acid bound to crystalline human albumin. Energy-dependent incorporation of the labeled palmitic acid into cell membrane phospholipids occurred, and various stages in this incorporation were defined. Initially the palmitic acid was rapidy transferred from the albumin to a "superficial" membrane pool of free fatty acid (F-1), wh...

1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), a precursor for ethylene, stimulates the switch from vegetative to sexual reproductive phase in marine red alga Pyropia species. This study explored effects of ethylene biosynthesis inhibitors on reproduction gametophytes yezoensis gain functional understanding role ACC as plant hormone algae. Here we show that two synthesis higher plants, 2-aminoeth...

Nickel oxide (NiO) nano-size powder is synthesized using nickel (II) acetate tetrahydrate, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and ammonia as precursors. Applied surfactant is anionic surfactant. The sample was characterized by FT-IR, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results obtained confirm the presence of nickel oxide nano-powders produced during chemical precipitation...

OBJECTIVE Clinical predictors for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have been studied in few prospective studies. Although transfusions are common in the intensive care unit, the role of submassive transfusion in non-trauma-related ARDS has not been studied. We describe here the clinical predictors of ARDS risk and mortality including the role of red cell transfusion. DESIGN Observat...

background: the presence of even a very small quantity of dye in water bodies is undesirable and affects the water bodies. dye removal from industrial waste water is significant; hence in this study, a material that is an economical waste product was employed to test its acid dye removing capacity from aqueous solution. methods: in this study, batch mode experiments were performed in the sorpti...

W artykule punktem wyj?cia uczyniono pytanie o to, jakie trwa?e i ponadczasowe elementy zawiera w sobie spu?cizna malarza pisarza – Józefa Czapskiego. Ukazane zosta?y przyk?ady nawi?zywania, czyli „powrotów” do biografii twórczo?ci artysty ostatnich latach. My?l? przewodni? artyku?u jest wskazywanie na zainteresowanie Czapskiego ró?nymi aspektami duchowo?ci. Duchowo?? bowiem uznawa? on za funda...
