In the mol-ecules of both (E)-1-{3-[(5-fluoro-2-hy-droxy-benzyl-idene)amino]-phen-yl}ethanone, C15H12FNO2, (I), and (E)-1-{3-[(2-hy-droxy-3-meth-oxy-benzyl-idene)amino]-phen-yl}ethanone, C16H15NO3, (II), which crystallizes with Z' = 2 in space group Pca21, there are intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, and the non-H atoms in each mol-ecule are essentially coplanar. In the crystal of (I), mol-e...

Urine from patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) was found to contain a number of minor bile acids along with three major bile acids, 7-epicholic acid, norcholic acid, and cholic acid. The following minor bile acids were identified by combined gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry: 7-ketobisnordeoxycholic acid; 12-ketobisnorchenodeoxycholic acid; 7-ketonordeoxycholic acid; 12...

Transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing the Arabidopsis FATTY ACID ELONGATION1 gene under the control of the 35S promoter from cauliflower mosaic virus accumulated very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) throughout the plant. In some transformants, C20 and C22 VLCFAs accounted for >30% of the total fatty acids, accumulating at the expense of C16 and C18 fatty acids. These C20 and C22 fatty ac...

The MER5 [now called the Aop1 (antioxidant protein 1) gene] was cloned as a transiently expressed gene of murine erythroleukaemia (MEL) cell differentiation and its antisense expression inhibited differentiation of MEL cells. We found that the Aop1 gene shows significant nucleotide sequence similarity to the gene coding for the C22 subunit of Salmonella typhimurium alkylhydroperoxide reductase,...

The small and active Saturnian moon Enceladus is one of the primary targets of the Cassini mission. We determined the quadrupole gravity field of Enceladus and its hemispherical asymmetry using Doppler data from three spacecraft flybys. Our results indicate the presence of a negative mass anomaly in the south-polar region, largely compensated by a positive subsurface anomaly compatible with the...

A 20-year-old man presented with dizziness and gait disturbance for approximately 2 months. Neurologic examination revealed spontaneous downbeat nystagmus (DBN), limb ataxia, and abnormal tandem gait (video on the Neurology® Web site at Neurology.org). Video-oculography showed augmented DBN during position change (figure 1). MRI revealed diffuse atrophy and signal changes in the brainstem and c...

After publication of this manuscript [1], we noted that one of the monounsaturated fatty acid isomers had been mislabelled in the results, and in Figure 2A and Table 2. In the Results and discussion, the sentence, “Concerning plasma MUFA levels, long-chain MUFA C20:1 (n-9 and n-7) and C22:1 (n-11 and n-9) peaked at 2 hr postingestion (Figure 2a and b)” should read, “Concerning plasma MUFA level...

The integration is carried out in the reference frame in which the spatial components of P, are zero and the dimensionless quantities cr = l4/222 and c=Fp/m are introduced. The real part of 8M is obtained by straightforward integration with absolute value signs placed on the argument of the logarithm: Re 5M = (3g2/162r2) m( —1+2n2+ (1+3422 2c24+ (422—1)/e') in~+ ccp (2422—7) (4—c22)—*' Xtan-'a(...

The objective of this work is to characterize and determine the fatty acid composition Pellonula leonensis oil from Congo River Nianga Lake, in order bioavailability docosahexaenoic (DHA) eicosapentaenoic (EPA) acids. fish were caught southern Congo–Brazzaville localities Kombé (Brazzaville) Boko (Pool department) Lake (Pointe-Noire). extracted by Soxhlet method using hexane as so...
