abstract stachys is one of the largest genera in the flowering plant family. it is in the subfamily lamioideae (labiatae), spreading and growing in different parts of iran. the purpose of this study was to investigate the chemical properties of stachyslavandulifolia as well as the essence, ethanol and methanol extracts of this plant. it was collected from chulus located in the west of mazandara...

Esterification of starch was carried out to expand the usefulness of starch for a myriad of industrial applications. Lipase B from Candida antarctica, immobilized on macroporous acrylic resin (Novozym 435), was used for starch esterification in two reaction systems: micro-solvent system and solvent-free system. The esterification of corn starch with palmitic acid in the solvent-free system and ...

Inverted-repeat-based gene constructs targeted against two key cotton seed-specific fatty acid desaturase genes, ghSAD-1, encoding stearoylacvl carrier protein delta9-desaturase and ghFAD2-1, encoding microsomal omega-6 desaturase, were transformed into cotton. The expression of ghSAD-1 and ghFAD2-1 in the inverted-repeat orientation resulted in increased levels of stearic and oleic acids, resp...

Response of Production Performance, Nutrient Digestibility and Blood Metabolic Indices to Different ration Palmitic Stearic Acid in Holstein Cows' Diet

iran annually exports considerable quantities of nuts such as almonds, hazelnuts, pista-chios and walnuts. the fatty acid profile of these nut oils as an index of their quality was determined using gas chromatography. results indicated that oleic acid (c18:1) was the major fatty acid in almonds (75.37%), hazelnuts (76.21%) and pistachios (60.49%) fol-lowed by linoleic acid (c18:2), whereas in w...

PURPOSE Osteoarthritis (OA) is associated with obesity in which altered fatty acid levels have been observed. We investigated whether the most common fatty acids in synovial fluid influence cartilage deterioration in OA. DESIGN Cartilage was obtained from OA patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Chondrocytes or cartilage explants were cultured with linoleic (n-6 polyunsaturated), oleic...

Oleic, Laurie, Palmitic, Myristic, and Stearic Acids are fatty acids with hydrocarbon chains ranging in length from 12 to 18 carbons with a terminal carboxyl group. These fatty acids are absorbed, digested, and transported in animals and humans. Little acute toxicity was observed when Oleic, Laurie, Palmitic, Myristic, or Stearic Acid or cosmetic formulations containing these fatty acids were g...

Lack of available water in arid and semi-arid regions has a negative effect on the production of soybean (Glycine max L.). Nano zinc chelate (ZnO) has the potential to alleviate this issue through overcoming zinc deficiency and thereby improve plant function. Therefore, to evaluate the effectiveness of ZnO application on soybean in drought stress conditions, a split-plot experiment based on ran...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common heart disease in Chinese adults with high mortality rate. Compared to the Han patients, the disease degree is often severer in the Uygur patients with coronary artery disease. In this study, using metabonomic analysis, we found that there was elevated level of saturated fatty acid in the serum from the Uygur patients. Human umbilical vein endothelial ce...
