A cationic steroid with a hydrogen-bonding pocket that has an affinity for anionic phospholipid headgroups was synthesized and shown to strongly promote the translocation or flip-flop of a fluorescent, C(6)NBD-labeled phosphatidylserine probe (C(6)NBD-PS) across vesicle membranes. In addition, the synthetic PS scramblase increases the levels of endogenous PS on the surface of erythrocytes as mo...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of physical form of starter and alfalfa hay (AH) provision on growth performance, ruminal fermentation, and blood metabolites of Holstein dairy calves. Forty-four 3d-old Holstein dairy calves with a mean starting BW of 39.9 ± 1.1 kg were used in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement. The factors were dietary forage level (0 or 150 g kg-1</sup...

The monitoring and controlling of environmental pollutions are very important in biological and industrial processes, and a great interest is growing with the development of suitable gas–sensitive materials and hazardous chemical removal devices. In this work, the highly parameterized, empirical exchange–correlation functional M06–2X were employed to investigate the electronic sensitivity of pe...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of anti fuzzy PS – Subalgebra along with PS-ideal in homomorphism and Cartesian product and discussed some of their properties.

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and phosphatidylserine (PS) are major components of the brain and play important roles functionally and structurally. Aging is associated with impairments in biological functions. According to the results of animal tests it has been shown that the loss in brain PC, PS and DHA due to aging leads to a variety of nervous deficits. In the present study, young mice and age...
