Redox Biology, 2014 To test the hypothesis that embryogenesis depends upon α-tocopherol (E) to protect embryo polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) from lipid peroxidation, new methodologies were applied to measure α-tocopherol and fatty acids in extracts from saponified ...

Symmetry Scheme for Amino Acid Codons [PDF]
Phys.Rev.E65, 021912 (2002), 2003 Group theoretical concepts are invoked in a specific model to explain how only twenty amino acids occur in nature out of a possible sixty four. The methods we use enable us to justify the occurrence of the recently discovered twenty first amino acid selenocysteine, and also enables us to predict the possible existence of two more, as yet undiscovered ...

Plasma oxylipins and unesterified precursor fatty acids are altered by DHA supplementation in pregnancy: Can they help predict risk of preterm birth? [PDF]
, 2019 Oxidized lipids derived from omega-6 (n-6) and omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids, collectively known as oxylipins, are bioactive signaling molecules that play diverse roles in human health and disease.

Is the anti-filarial drug diethylcarbamazine useful to treat COVID-19? [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The SARS-CoV-2 virus has resulted in a devastating pandemic of COVID-19. Exploring compounds that could offer a breakthrough in treatment is the need of the hour. Re-positioning cheap, freely available and safe drugs is a priority. The paper proposes evidence for the potential use of diethylcarbamazine (DEC) in the treatment of COVID-19.

Gut Microbiota-derived Bile Acids Promote Gamma-secretase Activity Through Interactions with Nicastrin Subunits [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Alzheimer's disease (AD) has emerged as a progressively pervasive neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. Bile acids, synthesized in the liver and modified by the gut microbiota, play pivotal roles in diverse physiological processes, and their dysregulation in individuals with AD has been well-documented.

Functional Characterization of Mouse and Human Arachidonic Acid Lipoxygenase 15B (ALOX15B) Orthologs and of Their Mutants Exhibiting Humanized and Murinized Reaction Specificities [PDF]
, 2023 The arachidonic acid lipoxygenase 15B (ALOX15B) orthologs of men and mice form different reaction products when arachidonic acid is used as the substrate.

The effects of carboxylic acids on the aqueous dispersion and electrophoretic deposition of ZrO2 [PDF]
Journal of the European Ceramic Society, Volume 32, Issue 1, 2012,
Pages 235-244, 2013 The agglomeration, electrokinetic properties and electrophoretic deposition behaviour of aqueous suspensions of ZrO2 with carboxylic acid additives were studied in comparison with conventional pH adjustment. It was found that citric acid imparted negative zeta-potential values and electrosteric stabilisation to particles in suspensions at all pH levels.

n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, inflammation, and inflammatory diseases.
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2006 Inflammation is part of the normal host response to infection and injury. However, excessive or inappropriate inflammation contributes to a range of acute and chronic human diseases and is characterized by the production of inflammatory cytokines ...
