The major lipids ofthedogfish (Squalusacanthias) are the diacyl glyceryl ethers and triglycerides. These classes of compounds in the flesh (dorsal section) and liver were separated by thin-layer chromatography. The glyceryl ethers and/or fatty acids resulting from saponification of each of these fractions were analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography as their isopropylidene and methyl ester deriva...

High activity at slaughter is known to cause changes to the muscle biochemistry in terms of Ž . muscle pH and adenosine triphosphate ATP content. This experiment looked at how the muscle activity may affect the flesh quality of fish. Electro-stimulation of a carcass immediately after death can be used as a model for high levels of muscle activity prior to death. This experiment Ž . showed that ...

The interleukin (IL)-1 family member IL-33 has been described as intracellular alarmin with broad roles in wound healing, skin inflammation but also autoimmunity. Its dichotomy between full length (fl) IL-33 and the mature (m) form of IL-33 and its release by necrosis is still not fully understood. Here, we compare functional consequences of both forms in the skin in vivo, and therefore generat...

Watermelon plants cultivar ‘Kinaree 457’ were grown in plastic house under natural daylight only (control) or with nightly LED supplementary lighting for 6 h (6:00 pm-12:00 pm) 12 pm-6:00 am) starting from transplanting up to fruit harvest. Plant height, leaf chlorophyll content and yield significantly increased response lighting. Fruit mass, size (length x width) flesh thickness at treatment a...

BACKGROUND In ancient times, plants were recognized for their medicinal properties. Later, the arrival of synthetic drugs pushed it to the backstage. However, from being merely used for food, plants are now been widely explored for their therapeutic value. The current study explores the potential of skin and flesh extracts from a hard-necked Rocambole variety of purple garlic in preventing card...

cmc polymer is used as an additive to decrease water loss and mud-cake-thickness in mud drilling. in this study, the effect of cmc and cmc nanoparticles on water loss and mud-cake-thickness in mud drilling is investigated. cmc nanoparticles are made by using of ball milling and their size is measured by particle size analyzer. cmc and cmc nanoparticles which were prepared by hamilton batch mixe...

BACKGROUND Risk prediction of rupture of intracranial aneurysms is poor and is based mainly on lumen characteristics. However, characteristics of the aneurysm wall may be more informative predictors. The limited resolution of currently available imaging techniques and the thin aneurysm wall make imaging of wall thickness challenging. OBJECTIVE To introduce a novel protocol for imaging wall th...
