hexadecane/atrophy

The degenerate electron exchange (DEE) reaction involving radical cations (RCs) of n-nonane, n-dodecane, and n-hexadecane in n-hexane solution was studied over the temperature range 253-313 K using the method of time-resolved magnetic field effect in recombination fluorescence of spin-correlated

Soil microcosms have been used to demonstrate the ability of indigenous soil thermophiles to degrade effectively a representative alkane (n-hexadecane). A fragment of the alkane mono-oxygenase gene (alkB) was amplified from thermophilic Geobacillus thermoleovorans strain T70 by PCR using degenerate

Free radicals arising from lipid peroxides accelerate the oxidative deterioration of foods. To elucidate how lipid peroxides impact oxidative reactions in food emulsions, the stability of cumene hydroperoxide was studied in hexadecane or trilaurin emulsions stabilized by anionic (sodium dodecyl

We performed comparative low temperature (2-30 K) hole-burning and single molecule experiments with 2-methylterrylene with the goal to detect single rotational tunneling jumps of methyl groups. The hole-burned spectrum with its sharply structured side features which are perfectly symmetrically

The sulfate-reducing strain AK-01 activates alkanes via addition of the subterminal carbon to the double bond of fumarate. This reaction is similar to the action of the glycyl radical enzyme benzylsuccinate synthase (Bss). It was hypothesized that strain AK-01 possesses a similar enzyme. Degenerate

Genes encoding cytochromes P450 of the CYP52 family in the n-alkane-assimilating yeast Yarrowia lipolytica have been cloned and analyzed. Degenerate PCR primers which were designed for the conserved amino acid sequences of cytochromes P450ALK of Candida species were used for amplification and

The toxicity of jet fuels was measured using noninvasive magnetic resonance microimaging (MRM) at 900-MHz magnetic field. The hypothesis was that MRM can visualize and measure the epidermis exfoliation and hair follicle size of rat skin tissue due to toxic skin irritation after skin exposure to jet

We report a convenient route to fabricate superoleophobic surfaces (abridged as SOS) on copper substrate by combining a two-step surface texturing process (first, the substrate is immersed in an aqueous solution of HNO3 and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide, and then in an aqueous solution of NaOH and

OBJECTIVE To investigate changes in gut microbiota and metabolism during nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) development in mice fed a methionine-choline-deficient (MCD) diet. METHODS Twenty-four male C57BL/6J mice were equally divided into four groups and fed a methionine-choline-sufficient diet
