Polan, C. E. (North Carolina State of the University of North Carolina, Raleigh), J. J. McNeill, and S. B. Tove. Biohydrogenation of unsaturated fatty acids by rumen bacteria. J. Bacteriol. 88:1056-1064. 1964.-A simple, rapid, specific assay for the biohydrogenation of unsaturated fatty acids was developed. With this assay, it was shown that washed suspensions of mixed rumen bacteria hydrogenat...

objective: the objective of this study was to investigate inhibition and anti-cancer effects of linoleic acid on the mcf-7 and mda-mb-231 human breast cancer cells. materials and methods: cell lines human breast cancer mcf-7 (gdc055) and mda-mb-231 (htb-26) cell lines were obtained from atcc. mcf-7 estrogen receptor positive human breast cancer cell line and  the estrogen receptor negative huma...

We evaluated the antioxidant properties of four main flavones from Scutellaria baicalensis: baicalein, wogonin and their glucuronides - baicalin and wogonoside. We used three in vitro assays: free radical scavenging with 2,2'-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl radical, transition metal ions reducing power by phosphomolybdenum assay and inhibition of the hydroxyl radical-induced peroxidation of linoleic aci...

In the present study, a highly sensitive and simple high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for simultaneous determination of three unsaturated fatty acids, αlinolenic acid, linoleic acid and oleic acid in walnut oil. Unsaturated fatty acids were quantified through HPLC using a reversephase C8 column and UV detector. Besides, the antioxidant activity of walnut...

Pneumonia is a disease that frequently infects toddlers. cases in 2021 caused 9.4% of deaths children aged 12-59 months. The effectiveness pneumonia treatment decreasing due to the increase Streptococcus pneumoniae ’s resistance antibiotics. application natural plant extracts such as binahong ( Anredera cordifolia ) leaf extract chosen an alternative pneumonia. purpose this study was disclose a...

PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the possible estrogenic activity of some ingredients of Nigella sativa including Linoleic acid and Gama-Linolenic acid by vaginal cornification assay. METHODS Forty ovariectomized (OVX) rats, aged 16 weeks were allotted randomly to five groups: negative control (taking 1 ml olive oil/ day); positive control (taking 0.2 mg/kg/day Conjucated Equine Estrogen-...

Ghrelin is a growth hormone-releasing peptide that also displays orexigenic activity. Since serine-3 acylation with octanoylate (octanoylation) is essential for the orexigenic activity of ghrelin, suppression of octanoylation could lead to amelioration or prevention of obesity. To enable the exploration of inhibitors of octanoylated ghrelin production, we developed a cell-based assay system usi...
