Zinc Deficiency, Plasma Fatty Acid Profile and Desaturase Activities in Hemodialysis Patients: Is Supplementation Necessary?
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
Background: Desaturation and elongation are critical processes in endogenous metabolic fatty acid pathways. Zinc (Zn) is a cofactor for desaturases and elongases enzymes. There is limited evidence regarding the relationships ...
A High-Throughput Screening System Based on Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting for the Directed Evolution of Chitinase A
(MDPI, 2021)
Chitinases catalyze the degradation of chitin, a polymer of N-acetylglucosamine found in crustacean shells, insect cuticles, and fungal cell walls. There is great interest in the development of improved chitinases to address ...
Improved degradation of azo dyes by lignin peroxidase following mutagenesis at two sites near the catalytic pocket and the application of peroxidase-coated yeast cell walls
(Springer, 2021)
The enzymatic degradation of azo dyes is a promising alternative to ineffective chemical and physical remediation methods. Lignin peroxidase (LiP) from Phanerochaete chrysosporium is a heme-containing lignin-degrading ...
Human biomonitoring of essential, nonessential, rare earth, and noble elements in placental tissues
(Elsevier, 2021)
Exposure to certain metals has been recognized as a risk factor for numerous complications in vulnerable population groups, particularly pregnant women. This investigation evaluated the levels of essential (Cr, Mn, Co, Cu, ...
Aggregability and digestibility study of fruit juice fortified camel milk powder proteins
(Elsevier, 2021)
In this work, we observed the effect of grape juice (% concentrated juice/% concentrated camel milk: GJ20/80, GJ50/50) and pomegranate juice (PJ20/80, PJ40/60) fortification on camel milk (CM) protein solubility and ...
Elemental profiling of adrenal adenomas in solid tissue and blood samples by ICP-MS and ICP-OES
(Elsevier, 2021)
The elemental composition of control and pathological adrenal tissues remains to be resolved. This study aimed to provide an initial insight into the amounts of micro- (Mn, Co, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Cd, Pb, U) and macroelements ...
Transcriptome Profiling of the Potato Exposed to French Marigold Essential Oil with a Special Emphasis on Leaf Starch Metabolism and Defense against Colorado Potato Beetle
(MDPI, 2021)
Flower strips of French Marigold are commonly used pest repellents in potato fields. However, the effect of French Marigold volatiles on potato metabolism, physiology and induced defense is unknown. Thus, a microarray ...
Lipid composition of the microbial mat from a hypersaline environment (Vermelha Lagoon, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)
(Society for Sedimentary Geology, 2021)
This study determines organic-matter (OM) composition in the different color layers of a stratified hypersaline microbial mat and verifies the hypothesis that each layer includes a distinct group of lipids. The relation ...
Effects of several atypical antipsychotics closapine, sertindole or ziprasidone on hepatic antioxidant enzymes: Possible role in drug-induced liver dysfunction
(Taylor and Francis, 2021)
Chronic use of atypical antipsychotics may produce hepatic damage. Atypical antipsychotics, including clozapine, sertindole, and ziprasidone, are extensively metabolized by the liver and this process generates toxic-free ...
Life cycle assessment of edible insects (Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis larvae) as a future protein and fat source
(Springer Nature, 2021)
Because it is important to develop new sustainable sources of edible protein, insects have been recommended as a new protein source. This study applied Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to investigate the environmental impact ...
