the essential oil of prangos ferulacea (apiaceae) fruits was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography (gc) and gc-mass spectrometery (ms). among the 39 identified constituents accounting for 99.99% of the total oil, the major components were chrysanthenyl acetate (26.53%), limonene (19.59%), alpha pinene (19.50%), delta-3-carene (6.56%), mesitaldehyde (6.09), and germacr...

Expression of foreign proteins in E. coli is normally inhibited by exogenous production of acetate. To overcomethis problem, various strategies have been proposed and tested to reduce the extent of acetate accumulation.Although these strategies can improve the outcome, the implementation of their proposed techniquesis not practical. Because to achieve optimal results, it requi...

Objective(s): In this study, we investigated the protective effects of piperine on lead acetate-induced renal damage in rat kidney tissue. Materials and Methods: Forty male rats were divided into 5 groups: negative control (rats were given aquadest daily), positive control (rats were given lead acetate 30 mg/kg BW orally once a day for 60 days), and the treatment group (rats were given piperine...

Utilization of acetate by four strains of Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens was influenced by the composition of their growth medium. Growth-limiting glucose concentrations, low availability of CO2 and the presence of sodium lactate all stimulated acetate uptake by three strains. The type strain, D1, utilized acetate if the concentration of acetate added to the medium was at least 15 mumol ml-1. In bat...

Purified basolateral membrane vesicles were prepared from the intestinal epithelium of the tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus, a herbivorous teleost. Characteristics of volatile fatty acid (VFA) transport were investigated using [H]acetate as a representative anion. No significant change in [H]acetate influx was observed in the presence of a cation gradient (K or Na) compared to the influx observe...
