Image analysis techniques are applied to monitor the morphological changes in granular sludge present in an expanded granular sludge blanket (EGSB) reactor fed with oleic acid. Deterioration of granular sludge was monitored along the trial period by measuring the percentage of aggregates smaller
The aim of the present study was to elucidate the mode of action of goat bulbourethral lipase (BUSgp60 lipase) previously identified as responsible for the deterioration of goat sperm viability in skimmed milk-based extenders. Milk fractions were purified by micro- and ultrafiltration and
Obesity is highly associated with type 2 diabetes where free fatty acids (FFAs) may be a trigger factor. To examine this hypothesis, in this study, we investigated the role of FFAs in the pathogenic development of type 2 diabetes. The release of insulin, the expression of preproinsulin (PPI),
Fourteen mongrel dogs were anaesthetized and mechanically ventilated with oxygen. After oleic acid was administered intravenously, amrinone 1 mg/kg was intravenously administered to one group followed by a continuous infusion of 10 micrograms/kg/min for one hour (amrinone group, n = 7).
Cyclooxygenase (COX) products and nitric oxide (NO) inhibit hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV), and their release could contribute to alterations in gas exchange in lung injury. We tested the hypothesis that combined blockade of COX and NO synthase (NOS) could further increase HPV and better
OBJECTIVE
To study the effect of SREBP-1c silencing on lipid metabolism and expression of inflammatory chemokines in a NAFLD model with endoplasmic reticulum stress.
METHODS
NAFLD model was established in L02 cells treated with oleic acid. SREBP-1c expression was inhibited using RNA interference
The treatment of ARDS continues to pose major challenges for intensive care physicians in the 21st century with mortality rates still reaching up to 50% in severe cases. Further research efforts are needed to better understand the complex pathophysiology of this disease. There are different
The authors investigated why intrapulmonary shunt (QS/QT) increases with sodium nitroprusside (SNP) in canine oleic acid pulmonary edema. To determine the effects of flow alone on QS/QT, a peripheral arteriovenous fistula with a variable resistor was employed to increase cardiac output (Q) 26 and
Commonly, acute respiratory failure (ARF) in laboratory animals is induced through the intravenous infusion of oleic acid (OA). The methods by which OA is infused, and the methods by which droplets are generated, differ greatly among investigators. The resulting ARF, and the distribution of the
An experimental model of chronic pancreatitis was induced by a retrograde injection of a viscous solution consisting of zein-oleic acid-linoleic acid (0.05 ml/100 g body weight) into the rat pancreatic duct. Histologic and biochemical changes were investigated over a period of 6 months after
Ductlike tubular complexes in cerulein-induced pancreatitis and oleic acid-induced pancreatic insufficiency were studied to analyze further their origin and development. Immunocytochemistry for pancreatic enzymes, lectin-binding studies, and ultrastructural investigations were combined with
Lutein is a hydrophobic antioxidant carotenoid with proven retinal and macular protection against oxidative stress. However, low aqueous solubility and bioavailability limit its clinical application. Hence, focus of the study was to improve the solubility and bioavailability of lutein by using a
Postimplant calcific degeneration is a frequent cause of clinical failures of glutaraldehyde cross-linked porcine bioprosthetic heart valves (BPHV). It was demonstrated previously that 2-amino oleic acid (AOA) used as a bioprosthesis treatment was highly effective in mitigating aortic valve cusp but
Small-dose endotoxin (Etx) prevents pulmonary perfusion redistribution away from edematous dorsal lung regions after oleic acid (OA)-induced injury in dogs, causing a significant deterioration in oxygenation. We hypothesized that small-dose Etx might mediate this effect via polymorphonuclear
Both phosphodiesterase (PDE4) inhibitors and omega-9 fatty acids show anti-inflammatory activity for treating inflamed skin diseases, but their efficacy remains low. Combinatorial agents are anticipated to offer an advanced strategy for efficient therapy. We prepared cilomilast-loaded oleic acid
