Background and aims The dietary pattern followed during pregnancy, specifically healthy patterns such as the Mediterranean diet, is a key factor in mother’s offspring’s health. Pregnant women intake not enough to cover micronutrient requirements of higher adherence diet may improve quality nutritional density. aim present study was describe nutrient pregnancy evaluate whether high associated wi...

OBJECTIVES To acquire new knowledge on the nutritional composition of semi-domesticated reindeer (Rangifer t. tarandus L.) and their nutritional value for humans. The results could be useful in updating the Norwegian Food Composition Database, whose current data on reindeer is limited. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study on population of semi-domesticated reindeer from 2 northern Norwegian cou...

Latent group b markers were detected in sera, in IgG preparations, and on isolated L chains from rabbits bred for homozygosity at the b locus. Serologic analysis of sera from an extended family of homozygous b4 rabbits revealed the presence of latent b allotypes in 5 of 37 sera tested. Latent b5 and b9 markers were identified; none of the sera tested contained latent b6. In two instances, the l...

Die Synthese der ersten B9-verbundenen Carboranylphosphane (B9-Phos) mit zwei Carboranyleinheiten sowie Zugang zu B9-Phos-Liganden sperrigen elektronen-schiebenden Substituenten, die bisher als unerreichbar galten, werden vorgestellt. elektrochemischen Eigenschaften wurden untersucht und Fähigkeit Mesityl-Derivate, stabilisierte Phosphoniumylradikalkationen bilden, wurde gezeigt. weisen einen e...

Closely related ancient endosymbionts may retain minor genomic distinctions through evolutionary time, yet the biological relevance of these small pockets of unique loci remains unknown. The tsetse fly (Diptera: Glossinidae), the sole vector of lethal African trypanosomes (Trypanosoma spp.), maintains an ancient and obligate mutualism with species belonging to the gammaproteobacterium Wiggleswo...

It is increasingly recognized that non-erythroid spectrins have roles remote from the plasma membrane, notably in endomembrane trafficking. The large spectrin isoform, βH, partners with Annexin B9 to modulate endosomal processing of internalized proteins. This modulation is focused on the early endosome through multivesicular body steps of endocytic processing and loss of either protein appears...

Mutant cell lines B3 and B10, which are unresponsive to both interferon (IFN)-alpha and IFN-gamma, and line B9, which does not respond to IFN-gamma stimulation, are described. The mutants were submitted to fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) from a cellular pool, which was obtained from the parental cell line 2C4 after several rounds of mutagenesis. The unresponsiveness to IFN stimulatio...
