A climacteric aromatic near-isogenic line (NIL) of melon (Cucumis melo L.) SC3-5-1 contained an introgression of the non-climacteric Korean cultivar "Shongwan Charmi" accession PI 161375 (SC) in the genetic background of the non-climacteric cultivar "Piel de Sapo" (PS). The aroma production was monitored during ripening at 21 °C in intact fruit using headspace sorptive bar extraction (HSSE). Ba...

conclusions the results of the present study indicate the protective effects of melissa officinalis on some sperm parameters and spermatogenesis quality in rats exposed to lead. background some medicinal plants with their antioxidant properties have protective effects on sperm parameters and neutralize the harmful effects of lead exposure. objectives the present study aimed to determine the eff...

Thirty-seven basidiomycetous yeasts belonging to 30 species of seven genera were grown on media containing l-cysteine or l-methionine as sole nitrogen sources with the objective of evaluating volatile organic sulfur compound (VOSC) production. The headspace of yeast cultures was analyzed by the solid-phase microextraction (SPME) sampling method, and volatile compounds were quantified and identi...

BACKGROUND The approval of new therapies for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), including the oral agents abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide, has altered the standard of care for patients with mCRPC. Little information exists regarding the sequences in which new therapies for mCRPC with evidence of survival benefits are used. OBJECTIVE To describe the sequence of medic...

Local reactions to glatiramer acetate are common, but few cases of hypersensitivity reaction have been reported. We present 3 patients with multiple sclerosis who suffered immediate-type local reactions after subcutaneous injection of glatiramer acetate. Skin prick test (SPT), intradermal test (IDT), and determination of immunoglobulin (Ig) E to glatiramer acetate were performed in patients and...

In the title compound, {[(C(2)H(5))(3)NH][Cu(2)(CH(3)COO)(5)]·C(4)H(8)O}(n), the two different Cu(II) atoms are coordinated in a pseudo-square-pyramidal environment by five O atoms from the acetate ligands. Neighbouring pairs of Cu(II) atoms are linked by four basally coordinating bridging acetate ligands as in the crystal structure of copper acetate monohydrate. The fifth, apically coordinatin...

1. The metabolism of acetate, glucose and D(-)-3-hydroxybutyrate was studied in lactating and non-lactating sheep in vivo. Special consideration was given to the utilization by hind-limb muscle in both groups of sheep and the uptake of nutrients by the lactating mammary gland was also measured. 2. The entry of acetate into the circulation (mmol/h per kg body-weight) was similar in all experimen...

High pressure density behaviors for fluid mixtures made of carbon dioxide with solvent, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, 2-propyl acetate, methanol, 1-propanol, or 2-propanol, at 313.15 K were satisfactorily correlated. The standard deviations were between 0.4 and 2.2 kg m -3 in density for each system in the composition range from 0.00 to 0.95 mole fraction of carbon dioxide.

A new lobane-type diterpenoid, loba-8,10,13(15)-triene-14,17,18-triol 17-acetate (1), and 5 known compounds, lobatriene (2), (17 R)-loba-8,10,13(15)-triene-17,18-diol (3), 14,17-diacetate (4), 14-acetate (5), lobatrienetriol (6), were isolated from a population of Okinawan soft coral Lobophytum sp. The structures these compounds elucidated by spectroscopy, including nuclear magnetic resonance h...

The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity of the fruits of Rubus chingii was studied in vitro. Ethanolic extract, ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions from dried R. chingii fruits revealed strong DPPH free radical scavenging activity with IC(50) values of 17.9, 3.4 and 4.0 μg/mL, respectively. The ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions were further purified by a ...
