the colorado potato beetle (cpb) is the most important pest of potato. adults and larvae feeding on potato leaves cause economically damage to host. since this pest overwinters as adults in soil, any disturbance in assimilation and storage of the energy resources may weaken the overwintering adults and lessen their resistance to environmental stresses during the winter. in this research, effect...

conclusions the results of this study showed that arbutin may protect the liver against ccl4-induced oxidative damage in rats. this hepatoprotective effect might be correlated with the antioxidant and free radical scavenger effects of arbutin. results treatment with ccl4 for 28 d decreased the levels of total protein and albumin and increased the level of bilirubin and lipid peroxidation. arbut...

quality grading and nutrition value determination of fish are. nowadays necessary for aquatic processing. the present study was conducted to investigate a new, applied and cheap method of fillet quality grading for common carp (cyprinus carpio) using fish size, based on mathematical equations. for this reason, 61 specimens of cultured market size carp were used and after filleting, their moistu...

Numerous pathogens can affect cellular homeostasis and organelle dynamics. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) triggers Golgi fragmentation through the immunity-related GTPase M (IRGM), a resident protein, to enhance its lipid supply for replication.

We found that membrane-less protein condensates, such as of P-granule LAF1, are able to provide an additional vehicle regulate storage and transport membrane-associated signaling proteins K-Ras4B the lipid membrane.

Nanoscale membrane deformations are believed to act as signaling hubs that combine geometry and lipid composition. We propose an in vitro platform for curvature sensitive protein screening using nanoparticles with phospholipid patterned on top.

Background/aim: Despite great progress in complex gene regulatory mechanisms the dynamic tumor microenvironment, potential contribution of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) to cancer cell metabolism is poorly understood. Death receptor 5 antisense (DR5-AS) a cisplatin inducible lncRNA whose knockdown modulates morphology. However, its effect on unknown. The aim this study examine metabolic changes ...

Thirty-one varieties of wheat cultivated in Romania were analyzed regarding the genetic diversity and physicochemical properties, including following determinations: moisture, ash, protein, wet gluten, lipid, starch content, falling number damaged starch, considering particularity each species, its biological status origin. The data showed that samples presented large variability. properties fl...
