Whole-Exome Sequencing Identifies Homozygote Nonsense Variants in Gene Causing Infantile Dilated Cardiomyopathy.

As an essential component of the sarcomere, actin thin filament stems from the Z-disk extend toward the middle of the sarcomere and overlaps with myosin thick filaments. Elongation of the cardiac thin filament is essential for normal sarcomere maturation and heart function. This process is regulated by the actin-binding proteins Leiomodins (LMODs), among which has recently been identified as a key regulator of thin filament elongation to reach a mature length.

Effects of storage on the oxidative stability of acorn oils extracted from three different Quercus species.

Background: Acorn fruit and its components and by-products are receiving renewed interest due to their nutritional and phytochemical features. In particular, the oil extracted from acorns is recognized for having high nutritional quality and for being rich in bioactive compounds. Despite the growing interest, few papers are available that consider the evolution of acorn-oil characteristics during storage.

Effect of acorn flour on the physico-chemical and sensory properties of biscuits.

The aim of the work was to explore the feasibility of using acorn flour as a novel and healthy ingredient in biscuits. The physico-chemical characteristics of acorn flour obtained from three different species were compared. Acorns of L.

Antioxidant activity, tocopherols and polyphenols of acornoil obtained from Quercus species grown in Algeria.

Among the unusual vegetable fats, acorn oil has interesting nutritional and functional properties. Few studies are present in literature on acorn oil characterization and antioxidant activity evaluation while no studies are present regarding the analysis of the phenolic profile. The present study aims at investigating the content of hydrophilic and lipophilic phenolic compounds and pigments, as well as antioxidant properties and quality of the oil extracted from three Quercus species grown in Algeria.
