Omega-3 Fatty Acids Omega-3 fatty acids play a big role in a number of bodily functions. They are a group of polyunsaturated fatty acids and are usually found in fatty fish such as salmon, tuna and trout in the form of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (NIH, 2017). Another type of omega-3, called alpha-linolenic acid, is found mainly in plants. Omega-3 fatty acids play a role in muscle activity, blood clotting, digestion, fertility, cell division and growth, brain…

hyperoxia-compromised phagocytic function. This experiment sought to explore the mechanism behind this phenomenon. We hypothesized that the activation of Nrf-2 would increase the antioxidant potential of macrophages exposed to hyperoxia by induction of antioxidant protein, HO-1, leading to a reduction in iROS and the subsequent prevention of HMGB1 release. Significant advances in this field will have the potential to provide clinical and therapeutic approaches for patients suffering from…

In this approach, the molar fraction of KPNB1 and compound 2 was varied, while keeping the total concentration ([KPNB1]+[2]) constant. The fluorescence intensity was measured at 520 nm, and the changes in the fluorescence intensity were plotted versus the molar fraction of KPNB1 in PBS (pH 8.0), showing that linear regression fittings were made…

Discussion The glycemic index of the dosa prepared from foxtail millet was low. This is due to the high levels of soluble dietary fiber in the millet. The total dietary fiber was reported to be27.02%, soluble dietary fiber 11.56% and the insoluble dietary fiber 15.44%11. It has been reported that the high viscosity of the soluble fiber delays digestion and absorption18. The glucose levels can be maintained to near normal with the help of dietary modification. It can be inferred from the above…

are phylogenetically subdivided into two groups, type I and type II. The main difference between them is that type I NPVs contain the fusion protein GP64, needed for virus entry into the cell and for cell-to-cell transmission, while type II NPVs lack GP64 and instead contain a generic fusion protein, called F protein, with the same role as GP64. This protein can also be found in some vertebrate viruses (Szewczyk et al.,…

1.5. Enzyme-Polysaccharide Interactions Proteins and enzymes have become an integral part of many industrial processes as well as being applied both in cosmetics and in therapeutics. Due to advances in biotechnology and genetic engineering, mass production of protein and enzymes has become feasible. Use of enzymes is environmentally friendly as they catalyse reactions under mild conditions against polluting inorganic catalysts which works in the extremes of pH and temperature. However, this can…

Introduction Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is a transport protein in cow’s blood stream, similar to Human serum albumin in human blood. It binds different types of drugs for delivery to various parts of the body. One of these drugs is warfarin, a blood anticoagulant. This research project’s focus was on the interaction between BSA and warfarin derivatives; our assumption was that the protein binding site has different affinities for different warfarin derivatives; this was to be determined by…

(y-axis) of five protein bovine gamma globulin standard solutions. In order to prepare each of these standards within a range of 50 microliters to 1200 microliters and using a provided stock solution of 1.46 mg/mL of the protein bovine gamma globulin (IgG) different calculations were performed in order to find out the exact…

Treated fillets were dried at 4 °C for 5 hours under aseptic conditions, and were placed in zip bags and kept in the refrigerator for 16 days (Ojagh, Rezaei, Razavi, and Hosseini 2010) (Table 1). Total fat was extracted, according to Bligh and Dyer on days 0, 4, 8, 12 and 16 of refrigerated storage (Bligh and Dyer 1959). Antioxidant evaluation of lycopene solutions by DPPH method DPPH solution in methanol (24 mg mL-1) was prepared…

the pressure of the globe, the structures related to the humor, functions of the humors, origin and also pathology related to them. PHYSIOLOGY OF THE AQUEOUS HUMOR The aqueous humour is a transparent fluid similar to plasma, but containing low protein concentrations. It is secreted from the ciliary epithelium (a structure supporting the lens). It is located in the anterior and posterior chambers of the eye, the space between the lens and the cornea. It flows through the narrow cleft between…
