We aimed to investigate the effects of feeding fermented Brassica rapa L. on ecological and immunological changes in the mouse gut using in vitro cultivation tests and in vivo experiments in normal mice. In the preliminary in vitro study, two B. rapa L. products from different fermentation periods (one d [SF] or six months [LF]) were evaluated along with non-fermented vegetables (NF). Among the...

the effect of bleaching with sodium hypochlorite, as one of the most important parameters in obtaining optimal alpha cellulose pulp from cotton linter was studied. in this respect, unbleached cotton linter pulp was prepared from parchin chemical industry co., bleached by hea sequence in ph=9, 11 and 13; and then its chemical structures properties such as alpha cellulose, degree of polymerizatio...

The possibility of using water insoluble fraction from biomass pyrolysis oil as additive in synthesis of Wood-Plastic novolac has been proved by using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier Transformed Infra Red (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Synthesis of novolac with different concentrations (10, 20 and 30 wt %) of water insoluble fraction were performed. It was found that mechanical p...

The bound carbohydrates of noncataractous , decapsulated, human lenses have been examined. The hexoses and hexosamines of the water-soluble, water-insoluble nonmembrane, and membrane fractions of lenses from six age groups were determined by gas-liquid chromatography. The plasma membrane contains 60-70% of all bound carbohydrates, including glucose, galactose, mannose, fucose, glucosamine, and ...

The nature of the interaction between dextran sulfate and low density human plasma lipoproteins of the Sr 0 to 10 class (LDL) was investigated by modifying LDL with succinic anhydride or acetic anhydride. In the absence of divalent metal ions, the formation of insoluble and soluble dextran sulfate-LDL complexes was prevented by the acylation of approximately 16% and 25%, respectively, of the LD...

We examined the effects of ingestion of five types of insoluble fibre on growth and Zn absorption in rats fed a marginally Zn-deficient diet (6.75 mg (0.103 mmol) Zn/kg diet) with or without added sodium phytate (12.6 mmol/kg diet). The types of insoluble fibre tested were corn husks, watermelon skin, yam-bean root (Pachyrhizus erosus) and pineapple core, and cellulose was used as a control (10...

Alzheimer disease (AD) is characterized by deposition of amyloid-beta, tau, and other specific proteins that accumulate in the brain in detergent-insoluble complexes. Alzheimer disease also involves glutamatergic neurotransmitter system disturbances. Excitatory amino acid transporter 2 (EAAT2) is the dominant glutamate transporter in cerebral cortex and hippocampus. We investigated whether accu...
