Phosphatidylserine: A comprehensive overview of synthesis, metabolism, and nutrition.

Phosphatidylserine (PtdS) is classified as a glycerophospholipid and a primary anionic phospholipid and is particularly abundant in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane in neural tissues. It is synthesized from phosphatidylcholine or phosphatidylethanolamine by exchanging the base head group with serine, and this reaction is catalyzed by PtdS synthase-1 and PtdS synthase-2 located in the endoplasmic reticulum. PtdS exposure on the outside surface of the cell is essential for eliminating apoptotic cells and initiating the blood clotting cascade.

Comparative Evaluation of the Treatment Outcomes of Pulpotomy in Primary Molars Using Mineral Trioxide Aggregate and 3Mixtatin: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of 3Mixtatin and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) for pulpotomy in primary teeth by assessment of pre- and postoperative clinical and radiographic data.

Materials And Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 50 primary molars from 48 healthy children aged 3-8 years were randomly allocated into two groups. Deep dentinal caries approaching pulp in primary teeth were treated by pulpotomy using MTA and 3Mixtatin.

Cottonseed oil: A review of extraction techniques, physicochemical, functional, and nutritional properties.

Seed oils are the richest source of vitamin-E-active compounds, which contribute significantly to antioxidant activities. Cottonseed oil (CS-O) is attaining more consideration owing to its high fiber content and stability against auto-oxidation. CS-O has gained a good reputation in the global edible oil market due to its distinctive fatty acid profile, anti-inflammatory, and cardio-protective properties.
