Abstract. This study tests the relationships between grandiose narcissism and affective, calculative, social-normative motivation to lead (MTL), avoidance lead, vulnerable affective MTL lead. Further, we assess moderating effect of narcissistic organizational identification (NOI). As expected, correlated positively with three dimensions MTL, though relationship disappeared when controlling for ...

The carbohydrate moieties of arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) have β-(1 → 3)-galactan backbones to which side chains of (1 → 6)-linked β-Gal residues are attached through O-6. Some of these side chains are further substituted with other sugars. We investigated the structure of L-Fuc-containing oligosaccharides released from the carbohydrate moieties of a radish leaf AGP by digestion with α-L-ara...

S OF PAPERS 201 four were analyzed for body composition. The analyses of gases were determined from d 19-21. The broilers were fed from d 14-21 three different grower diets containing 3000, 3100, and 3200 kcal ME/kg. The diets consisted primarily of corn, soybean meal and poultry fat. The 3100 and 3200 kcal ME diets contained increasing protein and amino acids to maintain equivalent nutrient de...

This commonly good natural source various secondary metabolites. Therefore, present study was conducted determine phenolic content antioxidant activity hydromethanolic (PC ME) aqueous extracts AQE) aerial parts P. crinita. Total...

This study aims to provide possible utilization of sunflower head byproduct (SFH) as a feedstuff by implementing chemical pretreatments (4% sodium hydroxide (SFHNaOH) or 4% urea (SFHurea) and supplementation with either exogenous fibrolytic enzymes (EFE) functional feed additive (FFA). The experimental EFE was complex (1:1, v/v) two enzyme products high activity β-1,3-1,4-glucanase endo-1,4-β-D...

Cu,Zn SOD1 (superoxide dismutase 1) is implicated in FALS (familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) through the accumulation of misfolded proteins that are toxic to neuronal cells. Loop VI (residues 102-115) of the protein is at the dimer interface and could play a critical role in stability. The free cysteine residue, Cys111 in the loop, is readily oxidized and alkylated. We have found that mod...

Roerink et al. (1) raise important and potential methodological biases that could have accounted for our finding regarding elevated TGF-β levels in patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) (2). Here, we provide additional information as requested by Roerink et al. (1) that supports that the elevation of TGF-β in patients with ME/CFS is most likely to be rooted i...

Citrullinated peptides are used for measuring anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Accumulation of citrullinated proteins in the inflamed synovium suggests that they may be good targets for inducing peripheral tolerance. In view of the multiplicity of citrullinated autoantigens described as ACPA targets, we generated a multiepitope citrullinated peptide (Cit...
