Mortierella alpina, a fungus used commercially as a source of arachidonic acid, 20:4(n-6), has been examined to see if growth on lipid-based carbon sources leads to repression of either fatty acid biosynthesis and/or fatty acid desaturation and elongation. Changes in the activities of ATP:citrate lyase, isocitrate lyase, carnitine acetyltransferase, malic enzyme, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogena...

Abstract This work aimed to introduce a new technique for improving sustainable biodiesel from Microchloropsis salina by examining the impact of various nitrogen sources, salt stress, and carbon enrichment, individually or in combination, determine best treatment conditions biomass lipid productivity as well quality. M. effectively utilizes nitrate (NaNO 3 KNO ) organic (especially yeast extrac...

Background An economical strategy for producing microalgae as biofuel feedstock is driven by the freshwater and nutrients input. In this study, seawater was applied to limnetic algal cultivation and the behavior of algae in seawater media was observed including growth, lipid synthesis, and ultrastructure. To make seawater cater algae, a kind of wastewater, anaerobically digested effluent from k...

There is extensive literature documenting the bioaccumulation of persistent organic pollutants in the marine environment, but relatively little data are available on contamination pathways in aquaculture systems such as that for farmed salmon. In recent years,the salmon industry has grown significantly in Europe. This study reports on the determination of a wide range of polychlorinated bipheny...

Abstract Backgrounds and aims Plaque erosion (PE) which is one of the most common causes acute coronary syndrome (ACS) can occur over fibrous plaque or lipid-rich (LRP) according to pathological reports. Whereas in rupture (PR) main cause ACS, underlying basically LRP with thin cap. We aimed investigate clinical features lipid profiles PE without comparison PR. Methods A total 165 statin-naïve ...

in order to find a prophylactic supplementation for individuals who are at risk of exposure to ionizing radiation, we attempted to evaluate the effect of vitamin e (vit-e), a biological free radical scavenger, on restoration of hepatic lipid peroxidation (lpo) and lipid profile (lp) changes induced by sublethal g- radiation in balb/c mice. the concentrations of cholesterol and phospholipid were...
