Mechanisms of hypertriglyceridemia in CTP:phosphoethanolamine cytidylyltransferase (Pcyt2) deficient mice
Download2012
Vine, Donna F., Bakovic, Marica, Singh, Ratnesh K., Fullerton, Morgan D.
Phosphatidylethanolamine is an important inner-leaflet phospholipid, and CTP:phosphoethanolamine cytidylyltransferase-Pcyt2 acts as the main regulator of the de novo phosphatidylethanolamine synthesis from ethanolamine and diacylglycerol. Complete deletion of the mouse Pcyt2 gene is embryonic...

Mechanisms of pressure-mediated cell death and injury in Escherichia coli: From fundamentals to food applications
Download2015
High hydrostatic pressure is commercially applied to extend the shelf life of foods, and to improve food safety. Current applications operate at ambient temperature and 600 MPa or less. However, bacteria that may resist this pressure level include the pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and strains...

Metabolic flexibility revealed in the genome of the cyst-forming α-1 proteobacterium Rhodospirillum centenum
Download2010
Hao, Jicheng, Rollo, David, Marden, Jeremiah, Stothard, Paul, Kurdoglu, Ahmet A., Kim, Sun, Chowdhury, Sugata R., Mastrian, Stephen D., Swingley, Wesley D., Lu, Yih-Kuang , Touchman, Jeffrey W., Han, Mira, Blankenship, Robert E., Bauer, Carl E., Matthies, Heather J., Helmy,Tamer
Background Rhodospirillum centenum is a photosynthetic non-sulfur purple bacterium that favors growth in an anoxygenic, photosynthetic N2-fixing environment. It is emerging as a genetically amenable model organism for molecular genetic analysis of cyst formation, photosynthesis, phototaxis, and...

The causes and etiology of Crohn's disease (CD) are currently unknown although both host genetics and environmental factors play a role. Here we used non-targeted metabolic profiling to determine the contribution of metabolites produced by the gut microbiota towards disease status of the host....

Methods for body composition analysis in obese adults/Métodos de análise da composição corporal em obesos
Download2014
Gomes, Aline C., Prado, Carla M., de Souza, Rávila G. M., Mota, João F.
The analysis of body composition in obese individuals has been intensively discussed due to the methodological limitations of most measurement methods. The aim of this thematic section was to clarify the characteristics, advantages, and limitations of methods of body composition evaluation in...

Microarray analysis in caudal medulla of cattle orally challenged with bovine spongiform encephalopathy
Download2011
Williams, John L., Moore, Stephen S., Almeida, Luciane M., Basu, Urmila, Guan, Leluo
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a fatal disorder in cattle characterized by progressive neurodegeneration of the central nervous system. We investigated the molecular mechanisms involved in neurodegeneration during prion infection through the identification of genes that are...

Microbiological evaluation of egg shell powder and optimization of its preparation technique
Download2007
Serafini, Álvaro B., Prado, Carla M., Fernandes, Daniela C., Naves, Maria M. V.
The research aimed to analyze the microbiological profile of the dust of the chicken eggshell distributed to needy communities, as an alternative source of calcium, as well as optimize the product development technique, targeting efficacy and safety in hygienic-sanitary terms. Sampling was...

Microbiological quality of organic vegetables produced in soil treated with different types of manure and mineral fertilizer
Download2006
Maia, Carla M., Carvalho, Isabel D., Serafini, Álvaro B., da Silva, Natan F., André, Maria C. P. B., Machado, Débora C.
An attempt was made to evaluate microbiological quality of horticultural crops grown organically. Three species of vegetables were used, lettuce (Lactuva sativa), radish (Raphanus sativus) and spinach (Tetragonia expansa), grown organically, in fertile soil. Six different treatments were applied:...
