background: diabetes mellitus is associated with chronic changes in peripheral arteries because of oxidative stress and insufficient antioxidative defense mechanism. omega-3 fatty acid supplementation could be effective in some diabetes complications; however, polyunsaturated fatty acids may increase lipid peroxidation. this study aimed to determine whether eicosapentaenoic acid alone or in con...

conclusions gallic acid and csa combination improved antioxidant capacity and cell membrane integrity more than each one alone. therefore, it can be a therapeutic approach to reduce the i/r injury. background myocardial infarction is one of the important causes of death during old ages. gallic acid as an antioxidant or cyclosporine a (csa) as inhibitor of mitochondrial permeability transition p...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether prophylactic oral iron supplements (320 mg twice daily) would protect women from iron deficiency and anemia after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. DESIGN Prospective, double-blind, randomized study in which 29 patients received oral iron and 27 patients received a placebo beginning 1 month after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. SETTING Tertiary care medical center. PATIEN...

In this study, we investigated if extrusion-cooking can be used to change physicochemical and nutritionally relevant properties of oat bran. The importance moisture content, last-barrel set temperature type (single-pass, double-pass, acid) on these was evaluated using two full factorial design experiments. Acid led a 5.7-fold increase in water-extractable dry matter content increased β-glucan e...

SYNOPSIS A method is described for measuring the plasma unsaturated iron-binding capacity in the presence of very high concentrations of iron as iron-dextran. The procedure utilizes 59Fe to label the apotransferrin with subsequent separation of ionic iron from transferrin-bound iron on an ion exchange or Sephadex G.25 column. The unsaturated iron-binding capacity has been measured in rabbits an...

A straightforward approach for the extraction of the quercetin was carried out by a nanoporous molecularly imprinted acrylic acid-based network copolymer as asolid sorbent. This technique involves a molecular template (quercetin) which is surrounded by functional monomers and are subsequently co-polymerized in the presence of an excess of the cross linkers. In this process, three-dimensional bi...

This paper describes models for detecting individual and team ball possession in soccer based on position data. The types of ball possession are classified as Individual Ball Possession (IBC), Individual Ball Action (IBA), Individual Ball Control (IBC), Team Ball Possession (TBP), Team Ball Control (TBC) und Team Playmaking (TPM) according to different starting points and endpoints and the type...

While the selection of amino acid insertions in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reverse transcriptase (RT) is a known mechanism of resistance against RT inhibitors, very few reports on the selection of insertions in the protease (PR) coding region have been published. It is still unclear whether these insertions impact protease inhibitor (PI) resistance and/or viral replication capacity. We ...
