BACKGROUND Reduced lipoprotein oxidizability by red wine phenols has been proposed as the basis for a relatively lower incidence of coronary heart disease in red wine drinkers. We showed previously that caffeic and protocatechuic acids isolated from red wine exhibit antioxidant activity in vitro. However, there is no information in the literature on the absorption of these compounds after red w...

Introduction: A neurodevelopmental disorder, autism typically identified with three primary behavioral consequences, such as social impairment, communication problems and limited or stereotypical behavior. Because of its co-morbidity and lack of therapeutic options, autism is a global economic burden. A short chain of fatty acid, propionic acid formed biologically by gut microbiome. Propionic a...

Forage type and management influences the nutritional quality and fatty acid composition of ruminant milk. Replacing grass silage with red clover (RC; L.) silage increases milk fat 18:3-3 concentration. Red clover has a higher polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity compared with grasses, which has been suggested to decrease lipolysis and . The present study characterized the abundance and fatty acid...

Two Latin square trials, using 21 or 24 multiparous lactating Holstein cows, compared the feeding value of red clover and alfalfa silages harvested over 2 yr. Red clover silages averaged 2 percentage units lower in crude protein (CP) and more than 2 percentage units lower in neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber than did alfalfa silage. In trial 1, diets were formulated to 60% dry ma...

In order to clarify the mechanism of the increased osmotic resistance of red blood cells in lead workers 19 men employed in a lead refining factory and 18 control male workers employed in railway construction were examined for red cell count, haematocrit, MCV, blood and urine lead concentrations, urine coproporphyrin and delta-aminolevulinic acid, osmotic resistance of red cells, lecithin-chole...

In this paper CuFe2O4, nanocrystalline powders were prepared. Also, the supported Cu ferrite was obtained by impregnation of the supports with Cu and Fe nitrates solutions, for calcination temperature 450 ºC. The samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). In this investigation photocatalytic degradation...

Tulip is one of the most important flowers to precocity. Treatment of tulip bulbs with gibberellic acid reduces the forcing period in the greenhouse resulting energy saving and reduces the tulip’s physiological disorders. This study carried out about three tulip cultivars includes ‘Lacourtine’, ‘Yokohama’ and ‘Red Favourite’. The results showed that gibberellic acid reduced significantly stem l...

Polymorphism of red cell acid phosphatase types was examined among 573 unrelated residents of Aichi Prefecture. The phenotypic distribution obtained agreed well with the genetic hypothesis. No phenotypes associated with the allele pc were detected. The frequency of pa gene in Aichi Prefecture was estimated to be 0.209, which is very similar to those observed in other districts of Japan. 59 Hopk...
