The Factors of the Classification of Protein Amino Acids [PDF]
In this work it is shown that three pairs of the factors appear to be the key, i.e. main factors of a natural classification of protein (canonical) amino acids within the amino acid (genetic) code. First pair: the factors of the habit of an amino acid molecule (size and polarity).

Arachidonic acid in cellular activation [PDF]
The paper by Huang et al in this issue of Kidney International addresses the interesting and still unsettled question as to whether arachidonic acid (AA), in and of itself, is a specific pathophysiologic "mediator" of injury, independently of its further transformation into oxygenated derivatives1.

Hydrophobic Ligand Binding by Zn-α_2-glycoprotein, a Soluble Fat-depleting Factor Related to Major Histocompatibility Complex Proteins [PDF]
Zn-alpha2-glycoprotein (ZAG) is a member of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I family of proteins and is identical in amino acid sequence to a tumor-derived lipid-mobilizing factor associated with cachexia in cancer patients.

Impact of seborrheic dermatitis on osteoporosis risk: A population‐based cohort study
Abstract Osteoporosis is a systemic bone‐resorbing disease that easily causes subsequent risk of fracture. Hence, the substantial physical burden of osteoporosis makes it an important public health issue. Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a chronic, recurrent, inflammatory skin disease.

FADS Gene Cluster Polymorphisms: Important Modulators of Fatty Acid Levels and Their Impact on Atopic Diseases [PDF]
Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) play an important role in several physiological processes and their concentration in phospholipids has been associated with several complex diseases, such as atopic disease.

Lipid Metabolism and Immune Function: Chemical Tools for Insights into T‐Cell Biology
This review explores how lipids regulate immune responses, particularly in T‐cell function. Advances in metabolomics and proteomics provide insights into lipid‐mediated immunity. Fluorescent lipids enable single‐cell analysis of lipid uptake and metabolism.

The demonstration of in vivo arachidonic acid epoxidation and ω-hydroxylation established the cytochrome P450 epoxygenase and ω/ω–1 hydroxylase as formal metabolic pathways and as members of the arachidonate metabolic cascade. The characterization of the

Modeling of the formation of short-chain acids in propane flames [PDF]
In order to better understand their potential formation in combustion systems, a detailed kinetic mechanism for the formation of short-chain monocarboxylic acids, formic (HCOOH), acetic (CH3COOH), propionic (C2H5COOH) and propenic (C2H3COOH)) acids, has been developed. Simulations of lean (equivalence ratios from 0.9 to 0.48) laminar premixed flames of
