Both cis and trans unsaturated fatty acids and sodium dodecyl sulfate activated NADPH oxidase in plasma membranes of human neutrophils in the presence of neutrophil cytosol. In contrast, 5,8,11,14-icosatetraynoic acid, saturated fatty acids, esters, peroxides and 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, a potent activator of protein kinase C, were inactive. 5,8,11,14-icosatetraynoic acid inhibit...

Fatty acid composition of fish is one of the key factors for the evaluation of fish nutritional value and it could be different based on fish species, habitat, nutrition and etc. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the fatty acid composition of five commercially important freshwater fish from the fish market. Studied fish were as follows: Barbell, Luciobarbus pectoralis (Heckel, 1843),...

Activator 73 A Activator 73 LM Multifunctional cure activators for the sulfur vulcanization of diene rubber, especially natural rubber. They can partly or totally replace conventional activators based on fatty acids (stearic acid, zinc stearate, and zinc 2-ethylhexanoate) and impart excellent reversion resistance. They can also be used as an effective physical peptizer for the mastication of na...

abstract background: migraine is a primary headache disorder that affects the neurovascular system. recent studies have shown that consumption of some fatty acids such as omega‑3 fatty acids improves migraine symptoms. the aim of the present study is to assess the association between usual intake of fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (epa), docosahexaenoic acid (dha), and saturated fatty...

statement of problem: in some clinical situations, repair of composite restorations is treatment of choice. improving the bond strength between one new and old composite usually requires increased surface roughness to promote mechanical interlocking since chemical bonding might not be adequate. similarly, the treatment of a laboratory fabricated resin composite restoration involves the same pro...

CTP : phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase activity exists in both the microsome and cytosol fractions of adult lung, 36 and 59%, respectively. Although these enzyme activities are stimulated in vitro by added lipid activators (i.e. phosphatidylglycerol), there are significant levels of activity in the absence of added lipid. We have removed endogenous lipid material from microsome and cytosol p...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of using raw or microwave irradiated safflower seed on dry matter intake, milk production and composition, milk fatty acid profile, blood parameters, and nutrient apparent digestibility in early lactation cows. Nine multiparous Holstein cows at early lactation were randomly assigned to one of three treatments based on 3 × 3 balanced latin ...
