The present report deals with the absorption of cholesterol and its 3-ahydroxy isomer, epicholesterol, in the rat. It is shown that cholesterol is absorbed at more than twice the rate of its stereoisomer, and that, while 50 per cent of the absorbed cholesterol recovered in lymph is esterified, none of the epicholesterol is so bound. The difference in the absorption rates of these two isomers br...

An efficient acid induced rearrangement of a tetrahalo-7,7-dimethoxybicyclo[2.2.1]heptenyl system leading to substituted indenones is reported. This domino reaction involves dehydration, olefin isomerization, ketal hydrolysis, [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement and dehydrohalogenation. The resultant vicinal dihalo olefin moiety in the efficiently generated indenone derivatives was utilized to tran...

To evaluate the stability of α-Mg/C14–Mg2Ca lamellar microstructure, aging treatment was carried out for a Mg–14.8 mass% Ca near-eutectic alloy at 573–723 K 1–150 hours. The spacing microstructure obtained by eutectic transformation L → α-Mg + C14–Mg2Ca during solidification approximately 250 nm. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy observations show that α/C14 interface is composed...

BACKGROUND Control of the mosquito vector population is the most effective strategy currently available for the prevention of dengue fever and the containment of outbreaks. Photo-activated oxidants may represent promising tools for developing effective, safe and ecofriendly novel larvicides. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential of the synthetic meso-substituted porphyrin meso...
