bleaching process is an essential stage in the refining of vegetable oils and fats. in this process the colour and the primary and secondary oxidation products are removed by the treatment with the acid activated bleaching earth .the aim of this project is to understand the effect of bleaching on the physical characteristics and chemical constituents of neutralized canola and sunflower seed oil...

conclusions according to the results of the present study, aerobic exercise at moderate intensity and proper time can be considered as a special treatment to prevent diabetes complications and related disorders, particularly obesity. objectives this study aimed to determine whether in patients with type 2 diabetes, substrate oxidation and energy expenditure were affected by the type of intensit...

conclusions in type ii diabetes, the increased susceptibility of ldl to oxidation is related to hyperglycemia and low aop. background type ii diabetes mellitus is a complex heterogeneous group of metabolic conditions characterized by an increased level of blood glucose, due to impairment in insulin action and/or insulin secretion. hyperglycemia is a major factor in the pathogenesis of atheroscl...

Metabolic flexibility is the capacity for the organism to adapt fuel oxidation to fuel availability. The inability to modify fuel oxidation in response to changes in nutrient availability has been implicated in the accumulation of intramyocellular lipid and insulin resistance. The metabolic flexibility assessed by the ability to switch from fat to carbohydrate oxidation is usually impaired duri...

Adiponectin (Ad) is an insulin-sensitizing adipokine known to stimulate fatty acid (FA) oxidation in skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle can become resistant to Ad very rapidly, after only 3 days of high saturated fat feeding in rats. Whether the same occurs following a high polyunsaturated fat diet is unknown. Obesity, insulin resistance, and hyperlipidemia are recognized as low-grade inflammator...

Several lines of evidence suggest that oxidatively modified low density lipoprotein (LDL) is atherogenic and that antioxidants may protect LDL against oxidation. In addition, cigarette smoking is known to induce oxidant stress. We have examined the effect of ingestion of the antioxidants D,L-alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) and beta-carotene and of smoking on the resistance of LDL against copper-me...

We examined whether AICAR or leptin rapidly rescued skeletal muscle insulin resistance via increased palmitate oxidation, reductions in intramuscular lipids, and/or restoration of insulin-stimulated AS60 phosphorylation. Incubation with palmitate (2 mM, 0-18 h) induced insulin resistance in soleus muscle. From 12-18 h, palmitate was removed or AICAR or leptin was provided while 2 mM palmitate w...

Antimonial compounds can be found as a toxic contaminant in the environment. Knowledge on mechanisms of microbial Sb oxidation and its role in microbial tolerance are limited. Previously, we found that Comamonas testosteroni S44 was resistant to multiple heavy metals and was able to oxidize the toxic antimonite [Sb(III)] to the much less toxic antimonate [Sb(V)]. In this study, transposon mutag...

Aluminum–lithium alloys were treated by high-temperature oxidation. The oxidation kinetics analyzed weighing. surface morphology of the oxidized samples was observed FESEM scanning electron microscopy. A phase analysis conducted XRD. outcomes demonstrate that aluminum–lithium alloy with a Sc element is at high temperature under same conditions, improving resistance, weight increase from minimal...
