2008). Microalgae containing 30% oil grow 30 times faster than those containing 80% oil (Becker, 1994). Another challenge is that microalgae usually accumulate oil under stress conditions with slow growth rate. Hu et al. (2008) reported that neutral lipids content, mainly in the form of triacylglycerol (ATG), double or triple increased when the cells were subjected to unfavorable culture conditions. The nitrogen limitation also could increase the oil content in Neochloris oleoabundans (Li et…

Abstract The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of Cichorium intybus on lipid peroxidation activities of both enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, inflammatory mediators, myocardial enzymes and histopathology of cardiac tissues in experimental diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Diabetic cardiomyopathy was induced by single intraperitoneal injection of STZ (40mg/kg) combined with high energy intake in rats. Seed extract of Cichorium intybus (CIE) (250mg/kg & 500mg/kg) was…

decreasing plaque formation. One method of lowering SFA is by substituting foods high in SFA with foods containing other macronutrients while possibly gain additional benefits (such as lowering body weight, reducing oxidative stress, or inducing favorable lipid…

There are many things that may trigger a hormone to trigger different responses within the human body. This includes intracellular proteins and receptors. First, intracellular proteins act with intracellular receptors. “Intracellular receptors for lipid-soluble hormones perform the entire task of transducing a signal within a target cell” (Reese 997). When a hormone activates a receptor, that triggers a cell’s response. A signal transduction is “the linkage of a mechanical, chemical, or…

superoxide anion radicals and hydroxyl radicals is generated when semiquinones are converted to o-quinones and o quinones are reduced back to catechols and semiquinones. These metal ions and hydroxyl radicals are responsible for oxidative damage to DNA, lipids and proteins [69, 70]. Sulfation of E2 leads to decreased hormonal activities by facilitating their excretion. The metabolic clearance rate of a sulfonated steroid is very slow [71, 72]. Sulfonated estrogens display almost no ER…

its natural liquid state to a partially solid state. This process is known as hydrogenation. There are two types of fats that will be focused on in this paper: unsaturated and saturated fats. Saturated fats are lipids which have no carbon-carbon double bonds, while unsaturated fats are lipids that have one or more carbon-carbon double bonds. A carbon-carbon double bond is a covalent bond where four electrons are being shared between two carbon atoms. Since there are no carbon-carbon double…

called chromatin so it can fit inside the core. 45. lipids; saturated vs. unsaturated Saturated fats are Fats (triglycerides) that contain palmitic corrosive and stearic corrosive while unsaturated fats are two carbons that are associated by a twofold security and two of the hydrogen’s are missing. 46. Steroids A steroid is a natural compound with four rings orchestrated in a particular sub-atomic design. Illustrations incorporate the dietary lipid cholesterol, the sex hormones estradiol and…

is essential for our body. The reality is that the lack of other types of good fats from grain lipids and sterols leads to poor function of the cell as a condition of chronic fatigue and lack of energy in the human body. These lipids and sterols are found in grains, soybeans and rice. Since mankind uses these ingredients in processed form as white flour and white rice and discard the bran containing lipids and sterols, and all that is cause of many chronic diseases. If people ate these foods in…

added and shaken vigorously. Centrifuged the test tubes at 4000 rpm for 10 minutes and the absorbance of the upper layer were measured at 532 nm. Standard malondialdehyde was taken as the standard and was processed in the same manner. The level of lipid peroxide was expressed as µmoles of MDA formed /g wet…

Harlequin Ichthyosis is an extremely rare genetic skin disorder that affects approximately one in 500,000 people, the chances of being born with the disorder is one in a million. Despite medical advances, half of the babies born with the disorder die. Due to the level of severity, there is no known cure for harlequin ichthyosis, but doctors are actively working to improve the quality of life for those who suffer with the disorder. The name of the disorder is derived from the greek word ikthys,…
