The single crystal X ray diffraction shows that the compound crystallized in the monoclinic space group C2/c ; a =2 5729(4) nm, b =1 4318(1) nm, c =2 1217(4) nm, β =111 56(1)°, V =6 8235(7) nm 3, Z =4, R =0 0751. The basic building blocks of the crystal structure included one MoO 5 hexahedron and twelve LaO 6 octahedra which shared a common edge to form a [(La 12 (OH) 12 MoO 29 )] 4- unit. These units were held together by the [(CH 3CH 2) 4N] + ions.展开更多

We have demonstrated that DHA and EPA induced calcium increase respectively via cPLA2 (cytosolic phospholipase A2) type lVc and calcium independent iPLA2 (phospholipase A2) type VI. Intracellular calcium increases via PLC (phospholipase C) pathway and leads to a calcium effiux and further SOC (stored operated calcium) channels activation. An abundant increase in intracellular calcium will induce exocytosis of neurotransmitters into the extracellular medium. Our results suggest that DHA and EPA induced calcium signaling, and should be implicated in the transmission of lipid gustatory information to afferent nerve fibers, as shown previously with linoleic acid.展开更多

The levels ofCd, Hg, Cu, Mn, Zn, Pb, Cr and Sn and of phenols from this river were significantly higher than the permissible limits set by the USEPA. Comet assays showed DNA damage in Cirrhinus mr^gala collected from three different sampling sites in the polluted area of the river. Significant differences were observed for DNA damage through comet assay in fish collected from polluted compared to control sites. No significant differences were observed for DNA damage between farmed and fish collected from upstream. The micronucleus assay showed similar trends. Fish from the highly polluted sites showed less number of fatty acids and more saturated fatty acids in their meat compared to fish from less polluted areas. Several fatty acids were missing in fish with higher levels of DNA in comet tail and micronucleus induction. Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3) was found missing in the fish from polluted environment while it was found in considerable amount in farmed fish 7.8±0.4%. Docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3) also showed significant differences as 0.1±0.0 and 7.0±0.1% respectively, in wild polluted and fanned fishes.展开更多

The HPLC baseline separation was carried out on an Inertsil ODS-3 column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) at 25 ℃ with a gradient elution system composed of 0.1% phosphoric acid solution and acetonitrile. The detection wavelength was set at 230 nm. Calibration curves for seven compounds showed good linear regressions, with correlation coefficients exceeding 0,999 within the tested concentration range. The limits of detection and quantification of each compound were in the range of 0.03-0.28 μg/mL and 0.11-0.87μg/mL, respectively. The relative standard deviation values of precision, stability and repeatability were less than 2.34%. The average recovery of all seven constituents ranged from 96.71% to 103.9%. The validated quantification method was successfully applied for the analysis of 10 batches of commercial LWWLT from Shandong Shibo Jindu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. These results would make foundations for quality control and the further pharmacology study of LWWLT.展开更多

Beneficial effects come from the symbiotic relationship that exists between humans and microbiota, but then several human illnesses have turned some friendly microbes into opportunistic pathogens, causing several microbial-related diseases. Various efforts have been made to create and utilize antimicrobial agents in the treatment and prevention of these infections, but such efforts have been hampered by the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. Despite extensive studies on drug dis- covery to alleviate this problem, issues with the toxicity and tolerance of certain compounds and continuous microbial evolution have forced researchers to focus on screening various phytochemical dietary compounds for antimicrobial activity. Linolenic acid and its derivatives (eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid) are omega-3 fatty acids that have been studied due to their role in human health, being important for the brain, the eye, the cardiovascular system, and general human growth. However, their utilization as antimicrobial agents has not been widely appreciated, perhaps due to a lack of understanding of antimicrobial mechanisms, toxicity, and route of administration. Therefore, this review focuses on the efficacy, mechanism, and toxicity of omega-3 fatty acids as alternative therapeutic agents for treating and preventing diseases associated with pathogenic microorganisms.展开更多
