The cyclopropene fatty acids, sterculic and malvalic, occur
naturally in a major food lipid, cottonseed oil, and have been implicated
in several physiological disorders. Rainbow trout in this
study were fed semipurified diets containing 200 or 300 ppm methyl
sterculate, and the effects on hepatic lipid and glycogen levels,
lipid...
Aflatoxins B₁, Q₁ and aflatoxicol, R [subscript o] F, but not B₂ were activated in the presence of NADPH by the 105,000 x g pellet from rainbow
trout (Salmo gairdneri), Mt. Shasta strain, liver to products lethal to
Bacillus subtilis GSY 1057 (metB4, hisAl, uvr-1). Electron microscopy
confirmed the microsomal...
The Jetson Artificial Intelligence Tool chain (JAI-TC) is a set of packages, APIs and libraries for Artificial Intelligence applications to be deployed on the NVidia SOC, Jetson TX2. JAI-TC automates the installation of these items allowing for a wider set of users to leverage these technologies. Prior to this, the...
Micro-organisms associated with gari, produced in Cameroun,
Africa, by the traditional method and that produced in the laboratory,
were isolated, identified, and screened for their abilities to produce
gari flavor. Gari production, under the controlled conditions was
attempted utilizing these isolates and the dairy starter cultures.
Some of the volatiles...
In this five-week feeding study male New Zealand rabbits were
fed diets containing cyclopropene fatty acids (CPFA), diets containing
cholesterol, and diets with both CPFA and cholesterol added to test
the effect of CPFA on cholesterol metabolism and atherosclerosis
induction. When CPFA-fed animals were compared with control
animals, they tended...
Interactions between paralytic shellfish poison (PSP) and
components of the butter clam (Saxidomus giganteus) were studied to
determine which component was involved in the binding and retention
of PSP by the butter clam, and to characterize the nature and
strength of the interaction. A simple and accurate assay for PSP...
The microbial composition of Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas)
subjected to UV-treated seawater was determined by quantitative and qualitative means. A total of 2,779 microorganisms were identified from seawater and oysters during a 72 hour sampling period employing a computer assisted replica-plating technique. UV treatment effectively eliminated coliforms and Pseudomonas Type...
The rate of the C¹⁴0₂ release from glucose, specifically labeled
with C¹⁴ at 1, 2, 3+4, and positions, was used to study the relative
participation of pathways of glucose catabolism in red beet slices.
Evidence was obtained which indicated that in mature red beets glucose
was catabolized mainly via glycolysis-tricarboxylic...
