OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to analyze magnetic resonance imaging findings of gamma-amino butyric acid and gamma deuteroxy sodium butyrate and to evaluate possible "in vitro" and "in vivo" areas of use. MATERIALS AND METHODS Materials used included gamma-amino butyric acid and gamma deuteroxy sodium butyrate which is formed by the replacement of the deuteroxy group. An amino group in...

Stimulation of ethylene production by cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis L.) tissue in buffer solution containing 4-S-methyl-2-keto-butyric acid is not due to activation of the natural in vivo system. Increased ethylene production derives from an extra-cellular ethylene-forming system, catalyzed by peroxidase and other factors, which leak from the cauliflower tissue and cause the degr...

Cytenamide forms a 1:1 solvate with butyric acid [systematic name: 5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclo-hepta-triene-5-carboxamide-butanoic acid (1/1)], C(16)H(13)NO·C(4)H(8)O(2). The title compound crystallizes with one mol-ecule of cytenamide and one of butyric acid in the asymmetric unit; these mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form an R(2) (2)(8) heterodimer motif. Pairs of adjacen...

1. In the secondary and tertiary stages of syphilis without direct involvement of the nervous system the cerebro-spinal fluid yielded the butyric acid reaction of feeble intensity. The fluid under these conditions gave neither a positive cytodiagnosis nor the Wassermann test for syphilis. 2. The cerebro-spinal fluid of cases of hereditary syphilis showed a positive butyric reaction in about 90 ...

Butyric acid is a valuable building-block for the production of chemicals and materials and nowadays it is produced exclusively from petroleum. The aim of this study was to develop a suitable and robust strain of Clostridium tyrobutyricum that produces butyric acid at a high yield and selectivity from lignocellulosic biomasses. Pretreated (by wet explosion) and enzymatically hydrolysed wheat st...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Butyric acid has many applications in chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries. Applications of butyric acid are as an additive to food, flavorings, varnishes, perfumes, pharmaceuticals and disinfectants. Butyric acid concentrations have positive impact on the quality control of milk, yogurt and other probiotic dairy products. The present investigation was undertak...

1. The effects in the cow of intraruminal infusions of acetic acid, propionic acid or butyric acid on the secretion of the component fatty acids of the milk fat, and of these acids and of lactic acid on the composition of the blood plasma of the jugular vein, have been studied. 2. The infusion of acetic acid or butyric acid increased the yield of the C(4)-C(16) acids of milk fat but decreased t...

Several substances, including glutamine and propionic acid but in particular butyric acid, have been proposed to be important for colonic health. β-Glucans lead to the formation of comparatively high amounts of butyric acid, and germinated barley foodstuff obtained from brewer's spent grain (BSG), containing high amounts of β-glucans and glutamine, has been reported to reduce the inflammatory r...

background: the high percentage of consumed antibiotics by humans and animals is excreted with other residues from the body after its performance. by entering these compounds to the wastewater, they can disrupt the anaerobic treatment process. in this study, deterrent behavior of two ampicillin and gentamicin antibiotics are investigated on specific methanogenic activity (sma) of anaerobic biom...
