background and objectives: tree nuts and their oils contain bioactive materials which have vital roles in improving human’s health. degradation and decreasing the quality of the nuts especially in almond which have high fat is related to the oxidation. the quality of stored almond depends mainly on the kernel moisture and fat , storage temperature, relative humidity, oxygen level, type of packa...

Cultures of ruminal bacteria known to metabolize unsaturated fatty acids were grown in medium containing 50 microg ml(-1) of geometric and positional isomers of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) or 18 : 1 fatty acids and 37.4 % deuterium oxide to investigate the mechanisms responsible for fatty acid metabolism. Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens JW11 converted cis-9,trans-11-18 : 2 and trans-9,trans-11-18 ...

Expression of Delta(12)-oleic acid desaturase-related fatty acid conjugases from Calendula officinalis, Momordica charantia, and Vernicia fordii in seeds of soybean (Glycine max) or an Arabidopsis thaliana fad3/fae1 mutant was accompanied by the accumulation of the conjugated fatty acids calendic acid or alpha-eleostearic acid to amounts as high as 20% of the total fatty acids. Conjugated fatty...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution of polyethylene glycol-conjugated superoxide dismutase in the brain, cerebrospinal fluid, and various organs. METHODS Distribution of iodine-125-labeled polyethylene glycol-conjugated superoxide dismutase was determined in three groups of male Sprague-Dawley rats: a normotensive sham control group (n = 9) and g...

the present study attempts to investigate the effect of thermal treatment at 180 °c for 8 hours on chemical changes, quality indexes and oxidative stability of three iranian common virgin olive oils (zard, mari and phishomi). oil samples were taken every 2h of heating treatment and assessed for fatty acid composition, conjugated diene value, carbonyl value, color index and oxidative stability i...

introduction: gp63 is a major surface protease of leishmania promastigotes that plays an important role in its virulance. as gp63 on its own can not develop an effective protection against leishmaniasis, the goal of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of gp63 conjugated with tetanus toxoid (tt) and vitamin d3 in susceptible balb/c mice against cutaneous leishmaniasis. methods: this...

From a total of 61 referred hypertensive patients, 21 were clinically suspected of pheochromocytoma but in none was this diagnosis confirmed. Instead we found nine of the 21 patients had surges of conjugated dopamine during hyperadrenergic periods unaccounted for by rise in norepinephrine (NE) or epinephrine (E). Overall, essential hypertensive (EH) patients had in plasma (ng/ml) higher conjuga...

HIV-1 entry can be inhibited by soluble peptides from the gp41 heptad repeat-2 (HR2) domain that interfere with formation of the 6-helix bundle during fusion. Inhibition has also been seen when these peptides are conjugated to anchoring molecules and over-expressed on the cell surface. We hypothesized that potent anti-HIV activity could be achieved if a 34 amino acid peptide from HR2 (C34) were...

phage elisa is a common method to confirm binding of obtained phages from phage display technique to related antigens. enzyme-conjugated antibody directed against the major capsid protein (pviii) or enzyme-conjugated secondary antibody against the primary antibody is used as a detection system in phage elisa. we have suggested to express an acid phosphatase (sapm) enzyme on m13 pix minor coat p...

somatostatin analoges labeled with different radionuclides are able used for imaging and treatment of somatostatin receptor positive tumors. in this study tyr³-octreotide protected at lysine as an analoge of somatostatin was conjugated with bifunctional chelating agent 6-boc-hydrazinopyridine-3-carboxylic acid (boc-hynic) and after deprotecting of conjugate, purification was performed with prep...
