Glucose levels in blood must be constantly maintained within a tight physiological range to sustain anabolism. Insulin regulates glucose homeostasis via its effects on glucose production from the liver and kidneys and glucose disposal in peripheral tissues (mainly skeletal muscle). Blood levels of glucose are regulated simultaneously by insulin-med...

Owing to insufficient illumination of the space station, the image information collected by the intelligent robot will be degraded, and it will not be able to accurately identify the tools required for the robot's on-orbit maintenance. This situation increases the difficulty of the robot's maintenance in a low-illumination environment. We proposes ...

Simultaneous reduction in activity of fat destabilizing enzymes (lipase and lipoxygenase), contaminants heavy metals (As, Cd, Pb, and Hg), antinutrient phytic acid and hazardous coliforms in rice bran was investigated. Application of washing, soaking the washed sample at different pH values (2, 6 and 9) alone or in combination with ultrasonication ...

Photosynthetic organisms have diversified light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) to collect solar energy efficiently, leading to an acquisition of their ecological niches. Herein we report on biochemical and spectroscopic characterizations of fucoxanthin chlorophyll a/c-binding protein (FCP) complexes isolated from a marine pinguiophyte Glossomastix chr...

Genes
Stickler syndrome (SS) is a hereditary connective tissue disorder affecting bones, eyes, and hearing. Type 2 SS and the SS variant otospondylomegaepiphyseal dysplasia (OSMED) are caused by deleterious variants in COL11A1 and COL11A2, respectively. In both genes, available database information indicates a high rate of potentially deleterious introni...

This study is aiming to investigate the stabilizing effect of chondroitin sulfate (CS) on the preparation of curcumin nanoparticles (NPs). The results showed that adding CS before the anti-solvent process of zein (Z) at pH7 could fabricate most stable NPs (Cur/CS/Z-pH7) with particle size of 197 ± 5 nm and zeta-potential of -48.4 ± 1.9 mV. The pH h...

PurposeThe contamination of raw materials, packaging, or processing environments by fungal ascospores is a real concern for food industries, where variable rates of spoilage can be reached in pasteurized acidic products such as fruit juices, fruit jams, or soft drinks. The aim of this work was to assess the combined effect of aw and pH on the growt...
