phosphatide/atrophy

The authors treated 16 patients with various types of retinochoroid degeneration with a preparation containing phospholipids extracted from pig retina. The evaluation of the efficiency of the preparation was carried out using adaptoelectroretinography. Exogenous phospholipids caused a statistically

The authors investigated the formation of hydroperoxides and carbonyl compounds in raw phosphatides from soya-beans and rape-seeds during storage at 50 degrees C. According to the results obtained, the chemical deterioration of the raw phosphatides depends upon their intrinsic contents of

Prior observations on the cellular reactions to tuberculo-phosphatide are confirmed and compared with reactions induced by this material in tuberculous animals. In the latter the response is accelerated and augmented and simulates the Koch phenomenon. Tuberculo-protein produces no macroscopic

Phospholipids of optic nerve (n = 30) from 5.6-kg rabbits were analyzed by 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Phospholipid metabolites detected were as follows (mol %): phosphatidylcholine (PC; 25.82 +/- 0.12), PC plasmalogen/alkylacyl PC (2.07 +/- 0.13), sphingosylphosphorycholine

The changes in mitochondrial phospholipid metabolism and energy-linked functions have been followed as coupled mitochondria are allowed to age in isotonic sucrose at 18 degrees C. Analysis of the aging process has provided an approach for studying the structure--function relationships within the

This study investigated the use of silymarin, an extract obtained from the milk thistle (Silybum marianum) and its effects as a possible hepatoprotector in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Silymarin was used as feed additive to the diet at a concentration of 0.1% (1 kg per ton of dry ration)
