ubiquinone/옥수수

The comparison was made of the protective (the administration 3 h before irradiation with a dose of 7.3 Gy) and therapeutic (the administration immediately and later after exposure) effects of soya oil (150 mg/kg) and oil solution of ubiquinone-9 (100-200 mg/kg) on survival of exposed rats. It was

We measured ubiquinone (UQ)-9 and UQ-10 content in various foods using high performance liquid chromatography. UQ-9 was detected in cereals, some vegetables and their products. Corn oil and wheat germ had large amounts of UQ-9 in particular. UQ-10 was detected in meats, fishes, pulses, nuts, dairy

This review of corn oil provides a scientific assessment of the current knowledge of its contribution to the American diet. Refined corn oil is composed of 99% triacylglycerols with polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) 59%, monounsaturated fatty acid 24%, and saturated fatty acid (SFA) 13%. The PUFA is

When germinating Zea mays L. seeds are rapidly desiccated, free radical-mediated lipid peroxidation and phospholipid de-esterification is accompanied by a desiccation-induced buildup of a stable free radical associated with rapid loss of desiccation tolerance. Comparison of the electron paramagnetic

A yellow-pigmented bacterial isolate (strain JM-791T) obtained from the healthy internal stem tissue of 1-month-old corn (Zea mays, cultivar 'Sweet Belle') grown at the Plant Breeding Unit of the E.V. Smith Research Center in Tallassee (Elmore county), Alabama, USA, was taxonomically characterized.

Complex I (NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase) is the first complex in the respiratory electron transport chain. Homologs of this complex exist in bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts. The minimal complex I from mitochondria and bacteria contains 14 different subunits grouped into three modules:

Four bacterial strains designated 410T, 441, 695T and 736 were isolated from maize root in Beijing, P. R. China. Based on 16S rRNA gene phylogeny, the four strains formed two clusters in the genus Caulobacter. Since strain 441 was a clonal variety of strain 410T, only three strains were selected for

In experiments with male Wistar rats the influence of the non-saponifiable constituents of dietary fats: dl-alpha-tocopherol (60 ppm), dl-gamma-tocopherol (480 ppm), ubiquinone (96 ppm) and beta-sitosterol (3035 ppm) on the tocopherol status was investigated, considering the fatty acid composition

A yellow, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium (strain JM-1(T)) was isolated from the rhizosphere of a field-grown Zea mays plant in Auburn, AL, USA. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of strain JM-1(T) showed high sequence similarity to the type strains of Novosphingobium

Recent experiments show that exogenous NADH increases the O(2) consumption and uptake of inorganic ions into isolated corn (Zea mays L. Pioneer Hybrid 3320) root protoplasts (Lin 1982, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 79: 3773-3776). A mild treatment of protoplasts with trypsin released most of the NADH

1. By using dl-[ring-(14)C]phenylalanine, dl-[beta-(14)C]phenylalanine, dl-[alpha-(14)C]-tyrosine and dl-[beta-(14)C]tyrosine it was shown that in maize shoots (Zea mays) the nucleus and one nuclear methyl group of each of the following compounds, plastoquinone, gamma-tocopherol (aromatic nucleus)

The influence of aging on susceptibility to environmental contaminants is not well understood. To extend knowledge in this area, we examined effects in rat brain of the volatile organic compound, toluene. The objective was to test whether oxidative stress (OS) plays a role in the adverse effects

The presence of the oxidized and reduced forms of ubiquinones Q(9) and Q(10) was determined in commercial extra virgin olive and seed oils, where the amounts of alpha- and gamma-tocopherols and beta-carotene were also quantitated. Very high concentrations of ubiquinones were found in soybean and
