octanoic/atrophy

Racemic 8-[2-(2-pentyl-cyclopropylmethyl)-cyclopropyl]-octanoic acid (DCP-LA), a linoleic acid derivative with cyclopropane rings instead of cis-double bonds, contains possible four diastereomers such as α,α-, α,β-, β,α-, and β,β-DCP-LA. The present study examined the effect of racemic and

The neuropathological consequences of acute exposure to the neurotoxicants ammonia and octanoic acid were investigated with the isolated, perfused canine brain preparation. After 1 h of combined hyperammonemia and octanoic acidemia, ultrastructural changes were apparent in all brain regions

When polyhydroxyoctanoate (PHO) was produced by Pseudomonas oleovorans during a regimen of intermittent feeding on octanoic acid, there was a significant change in both the polymer associated proteins and the composition of the enclosed polymer. The polymer granules were isolated with their protein

Reye's Syndrome (RS) is characterized by encephalopathy, fatty degeneration of viscera and high levels of free fatty acids which are implicated in cellular toxicity. We have examined the effects of octanoic acid (C8:0), palmitic acid (C16:0) and oleic acid (C18:1) on rat liver mitochondrial swelling

OBJECTIVE Helicobacter pylori infection has been implicated in atrophic gastritis and gastric ulcer disease. However, the relationship between gastric emptying and Helicobacter pylori infection is still unclear. METHODS One hundred and two consecutive patients with functional dyspepsia were enrolled

Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) is a late-onset, chronic, and progressive motor dysfunction attributable to loss of nigrostriatal dopamine neurons. Patients with PD experience significant gastrointestinal (GI) issues, including gastroparesis. We aimed to evaluate whether 6-hydroxy-dopamine
