A fundamental relationship of inherent optical properties (IOP) is that the
beam attenuation coefficient is the sum of the volume absorption and scattering
coefficients (c = a + b). A relative calibration of a set of instruments can be provided
using this IOP closure equation. Measurement of the true beam...
There is a great deal of evidence that altered sphingolipid metabolism is associated with fumonisin-induced
animal diseases including increased apoptotic and oncotic necrosis, and carcinogenesis in
rodent liver and kidney. The biochemical consequences of fumonisin disruption of sphingolipid
metabolism most likely to alter cell regulation are increased free sphingoid bases...
