the lipid accumulation product is a novel, safe and inexpensive index of central lipid over accumulation based on waist circumference and fasting concentration of circulating triglycerides. this study was designed to investigate the ability of lipid accumulation product to predict cardio-metabolic risk factors in postmenopausal women. in this cross-sectional study, 264 postmenopausal women by u...

Dunaliella salina (D. salina) is a potential source of lipids and subsequent biodiesel production. However lipid production from dependent on biomass production rate and lipid content. To get more lipid, production efficiency need to be improved. The aim was to application of two-stage culture strategy for improved microalgal growth and lipid Production. In this study the culture was grown unde...

the colorado potato beetle (cpb) is the most important pest of potato. adults and larvae feeding on potato leaves cause economically damage to host. since this pest overwinters as adults in soil, any disturbance in assimilation and storage of the energy resources may weaken the overwintering adults and lessen their resistance to environmental stresses during the winter. in this research, effect...

1. The substrate specificity of membrane-bound and purified epoxide hydrase from rat liver microsomes has been studied. Both enzyme preparations catalyzed the hydration of a variety of alkene oxidase as well as arene oxides of several polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. 2. Unlike the membrane-bound enzyme, the rate of hydration for most of the substrates catalyzed by the purified epoxide hydrase ...

Research has been conducted on Spirogyra sp heterotrophic cultivation by providing cassava starch hydrolysate (CSH) as a carbon source under dark condition. The purpose of this research was to obtain the concentration of CSH which could increase biomass concentration and lipid content of Spirogyra sp under heterotrophic cultivation. The treatment of CSH (15 g/L) could produce the highest biomas...
