This study applied 1H-NMR in time and in frequency domain measurements to monitor the changes that occur in bound water dynamics at decreased temperature and with increased hydration level in lyophilizates of native wheat photosynthetic lamellae and in photosynthetic lamellae reconstituted from lyophilizate. Proton relaxometry (measured as free induction decay = FID) distinguishes a Gaussian component S within the NMR signal (o). This comes from protons of the solid matrix of the lamellae and consists of (i) an exponentially decaying contribution L1 from mobile membrane protons, presumably from lipids, and from water that is tightly bound to the membrane surface and thus restricted in mobility; and (ii) an exponentially decaying component L2 from more mobile, loosely bound water pool.

Background: Recent identification of specific leptin receptors in the pancreas suggests that this peptide may also play some role in this gland.

Aim: To examine the effect of intraperitoneal (i.p.

Background: Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are responsible for septic shock but low doses of LPS reduce pancreatic damage produced by caerulein-induced pancreatitis (CIP) in rats. Leptin, produced by adipocytes attenuates the severity of CIP. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of intracerebroventricular (i.
