Dry age-related macular degeneration and Stargardt disease undergo a known toxic mechanism caused by carbonyl oxidative stresses (COS). This is responsible for accumulation in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) of A2E, main pyridinium bis-retinoid lipofuscin component. Previous studies have shown that stress cells could be reduced an alkyl-phloroglucinol-DHA conjugate (lipophenol). Here, we p...

Polymer dynamics is the essence of polymer physics. Understanding polymers from the perspective of polymer dynamics is crucial to rationally design and fabricate novel polymeric systems. Poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF) and poly(propylene fumarate)-copolycaprolactone (PPF-co-PCL) (Fig. 1) are two unsaturated linear polyesters that can be crosslinked through its fumarate double bonds. By varying t...

An alginate lyase from the cuiture supernatant of Ehterobacter cloacae M-1 rvas purified by ammonium su]fate precipitation, cation-exchange chromatography (SP-Toyopearl), and gel filtration (Ultrogel AcA44). The final preparation thus obtained showed a single band on SDS-PAGE. The purified enayme had the molecular weight of 38,ooO and 32,OOO by SDS-PAGE and gel filtration, respectiyely. The pl ...

In this study, synthesis of unsaturated Poly(2-Butene Maleate) polyester by condensation polymerization and preparation cross-linked graft copolymer with methyl methacrylate are presented. For purpose, polyesters were synthesized in four different time periods (12h, 24h, 36h, 48h) the presence hydroquinone using 1,4-Butanediol-2-ene maleic anhydride. Then, obtained was purified on alumina colum...

BACKGROUND Microalgae have been recognized as a good food source of natural biologically active ingredients. Among them, the green microalga Euglena is a very promising food and nutritional supplements, providing high value-added poly-unsaturated fatty acids, paramylon and proteins. Different culture conditions could affect the chemical composition and food quality of microalgal cells. However,...

experimental study of the cyclic behavior of unsaturated materials is more complex than that of the saturated materials due to the required equipment, experience and time. furthering investigations in the field of unsaturated materials is necessary to better understand its complexity and sensitivity of unsaturated cyclic parameters to different determinants such as suction path, stress path, lo...
