The nature and kinetics of reactions in dry seeds determines how long the seeds survive. We used gas chromatography to assay volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from seeds of three unrelated species as a means to non-invasively probe chemical changes during very dry, dry, and humid storage
BACKGROUND
Oxidative stress is increased in patients with congestive heart failure and can contribute to the progressive deterioration observed in these patients. Increased oxidative stress is the result of either an increased production of free radicals or a depletion of endogenous antioxidants,
2-(dideuteriomethylene)-1,1-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)cyclopropane (d(2)-1) undergoes degenerate rearrangement in both singlet- and triplet-sensitized electron-transfer photoreactions. Nanosecond time-resolved absorption spectroscopy on laser flash photolysis of the unlabeled 1 with
The combination of a tandem column ensemble and an on-line microsorption trap is used for the analysis of organic compounds in human breath samples. The four-bed sorption trap uses a series of discreet sorption beds containing three grades of graphitized carbon and a carbon molecular sieve to
Rats were intermittently exposed (9 to 10 h/d, 5 to 6 d/week) to controlled concentrations of single analytical grad solvents in ambient air. After periods ranging from 7 to 30 weeks the animals were perfused with glutaraldehyde and samples of nerves were processed for light microscopy of sections
Lipid peroxidation (LPO) is the oxidative deterioration of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) with the production of lipid hydroperoxides, cyclic peroxides, cyclic endoperoxides, and finally fragmentation to ketones and aldehydes (including malonaldehyde, MDA). Estimation of LPO through MDA
Simulation results are reported for the adsorption of pure pentane (C5) isomers and their ternary mixture in a series of open-ended armchair-type (m,m) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Inverse-shape selective adsorption occurs in the order of nC5
The photochemistry of 1,1,4-triphenyl-1,4-pentadiene was investigated. Sensitized irradiation of this compound labeled at carbon 3 with (2)H led to a degenerate rearrangement wherein the diphenylvinyl moiety migrated 1,3, thus affording diene with (2)H substitution at carbon 5. In contrast, direct
Dehydrated chicken meat (a(w) = 0.20-0.35) made from mechanically deboned chicken necks can be protected against oxidative deterioration during storage by rosemary extract (at a sensory acceptable level of 1000 ppm, incorporated prior to drying). The efficiency of the rosemary extract was similar to
A series of bis metallacyclic compounds [M(THF)(x)UN*(CH(2)SiMe(2)N{SiMe(3)})(2)](n) [M = Na (2), Li (3), or K (4), N* = N(SiMe(3))(2)] were isolated from reactions of UCl(4) or [UN*(3)Cl] with MN* or by treatment of [UN*(2)(CH(2)SiMe(2)N{SiMe(3)})] (1) or [UN*(3)] with MN*, MH, or LiCH(2)SiMe(3) in
The quantitative determination of hydrocarbons exhaled by animals as an in vivo index of extensive lipid peroxidation is described. Advantages and limitations of this method are discussed. Acetaminophen-induced hepatic lipid peroxidation in mice is an example of oxidative stress, the extent of which
Measurement of the amount of fat in femoral bone marrow can provide a quantitative assessment of the nutritional status of an individual animal. An analytical method is presented for quantitating the percent fat in bone marrow from three domestic species: bovine, canine, and equine. In this
Oxidation of lipid, nucleic acids or protein has been suggested to be involved in the etiology of several chronic diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease, cataract, age-related macular degeneration and aging in general. A large body of research has investigated the potential role of
