A series of C4-C 12 alkyl acrylates and methacrylates was polymerized with starch by irradiating starch-monomer mixtures with 60CO. Homopolymers were extracted with cyclohexane. The amounts of insoluble versus soluble synthetic polymer in polymerizations run with alkyl acrylates varied less with the chain length of the alkyl substituent than in the polymerizations run with alkyl methacrylates: ...

Mycoplasma hyorhinis has been shown to induce the secretion of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) from monocytes. To identify the molecules responsible for this activity, we separated sonicated M. hyorhinis lysate material by centrifugation at 100,000 x g into soluble (S) and particulate (P) fractions. The fractions were assayed for TNF-alpha-inducing activity by the L929 bioassay. Both th...

Antigenic components were solubilized from a participate fraction of mouse lymphosarcoma 6C3HED at pH 9.0-9.5. Protein, lipid, and carbohydrate were present. Three measures of antigenicity were employed. Mouse cytotoxicity tests re vealed that the tumor fraction adsorbed a greater amount of rabbit antitumor antibody than did similar fractions of normal C3H mouse lymphoid tissues. In Schultz-Dal...

Cord blood serum lipids are much lower than those of adults. Two recent studies of cord blood lipids of infants of diabetic mothers (Pantelakis, Cameron, Davidson, Dunn, Fosbrooke, Lloyd, Malins, and Wolff, 1964; Lloyd, 1963) suggest that certain lipid fractions are higher in these infants than in infants of normal mothers. In view of recent work suggesting that in diabetes mellitus a disturban...

OBJECTIVE To search for a better dietary approach to treat postprandial lipid abnormalities and improve glucose control in type 2 diabetic patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS According to a randomized crossover design, 18 type 2 diabetic patients (aged 59 +/- 5 years; BMI 27 +/- 3 kg/m(2)) (means +/- SD) in satisfactory blood glucose control on diet or diet plus metformin followed a diet re...

1. Some of the products excreted by cultures of lysine-requiring Escherichia coli A.T.C.C. 12408 grown under lysine-limiting conditions have been studied. 2. A glycolipid designated ;extracellular lipoglycopeptide' was prepared from culture filtrates of such organisms. It contained 35% of lipid, 19% of carbohydrate, 3.4% of P and 3.7% of N. 3. Comparison of the lipids, fatty acids, carbohydrate...

Ruthenium red induces the agglutination of ascites hepatoma cells. The agglutination was inhibited by acidic polysaccharides but not by haptenic inhibitors of some plant agglutinins. The agglutination was also abolished by treatment of the cells with a low concentration of papain. Papain digestion causes a decrease in the number of microvilli on the cell surface and the release of carbohydrate-...

A study concerned with the effects of iron on chlorophyll, acidity, ascorbic acid, and carbohydrate fractions of Ananas comosus was reported in a previous publication (35). Also, the effects of different amounts of potassium on growth and ash constituents of the same plants were reported in a former paper of this series (36). This study is concerned with the effects of potassium on chlorophyll,...

The biorefinery technology aiming at protein extraction is rising and identification of suitable plant biomass input with valuable compounds for needed. Forage crops have been evaluated by the Cornell Net Carbohydrate Protein System (CNCPS), result used as proxy extractable in a process. This serves helpful link between crop production refinery output; however, method has never validated. Such ...
