Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Minsk, 220141, Belarus.

Published: February 2001

Hydrolysis of dioleoylphosphatidylethanol (DOPEt) and dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) catalyzed by phospholipase A2 (PLA2) from porcine pancreas has been studied in single-component and binary liposomes in the absence and in the presence of ethanol. DOPEt (an anionic phospholipid) was found to increase the rate of hydrolysis of zwitterionic DOPC in liposomes under the action of PLA2.

The non-native wood-boring and symbiotic fungus-culturing Xylosandrus germanus (Blandford) was first reported in New York apple orchards in 2013. Trapping surveys have been conducted annually since to assist growers in timely applications of preventative control measures. In 2021, a similar-looking introduced species, Anisandrus maiche (Kurentsov), was identified in traps in west central New York.

Genetic diversity of murine norovirus associated with ethanol sensitivity.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol

Department of Frontier Science for Advanced Environment, Graduate School of Environmental Studies, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan.

RNA viruses have high genetic diversity, allowing rapid adaptation to environmental pressures, such as disinfection. This diversity increases the likelihood of mutations influencing the viral sensitivity to disinfectants. Ethanol is widely used to control viral transmission; however, insufficient disinfection facilitates the survival of less-sensitive viruses.

Background: Ginseng Berry Concentrate (GBC) enhances exercise capacity in mice, but the effects of its key component, ginsenoside Re (G-Re), on aging and mitochondrial function are not well understood. This study investigates the impact of G-Re on mitophagy and its potential to promote healthy aging.

Methods: Experiments in C2C12 myocytes and HeLa-mitoKeima-PARKIN cells assessed GBC and G-Re's effects on mitophagy, supported by Gene Set Enrichment Analysis.

Department of Dairy Technology, College of Dairy Science and Technology, Lala Lajpat Rai University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Hisar, 125001 Haryana India.

Present research focused on biotransformation of paneer whey into a functional fermented product using kefir culture. Out of 9 formulations (S-1 to S-9) tried; S-8, obtained by fermenting FOS (1%) supplemented paneer whey and adding 8% refined sugar, was identified as the most acceptable product. Nutritional analysis revealed the following as per 100 g of product: 44.
