Two new cerebrosides, ferocerebrosides A (1) [(2S,3R,4E,8E,2'R)-1-O-(beta-glucopyranosyl)-N-(2'-hydroxydocosanoyl)-4,8-sphingadienine] and B (2) [(2S,3R,4E,8E,2'R)-1-O-(beta-glucopyranosyl)-N-(2'-hydroxytetracosanoyl)-4,8-sphingadienine], two new tocopherol trimers, ferotocotrimers C (5) and D (6), and two known tocopherol trimers, IVb (3) and IVa (4), were isolated from the seeds of Euryale ferox. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data, especially 1D and 2D NMR experiments. Compounds 1 and 2 showed cytotoxicity in the brine shrimp lethality bioassay, with LC50 values of 0.17 and 0.20 mM, respectively.

The heart of oxygenic photosynthesis is the water-splitting photosystem II (PSII), which forms supercomplexes with a variable amount of peripheral trimeric light-harvesting complexes (LHCII). Our knowledge of the structure of green plant PSII supercomplex is based on findings obtained from several representatives of green algae and flowering plants; however, data from a non-flowering plant are currently missing. Here we report a cryo-electron microscopy structure of PSII supercomplex from spruce, a representative of non-flowering land plants, at 2.

The growing awareness of consumers means that new products are sought after, which, apart from meeting the basic demand for macronutrients and energy, will have a positive impact on our health. This article is a report on the characteristics of the new oil blends with a nutritious ω6/ω3 fatty acid ratio (5:1), as well as the heat treatment effect on the nutritional value and stability of the oils. Prepared oil blends were heated at 170 and 200 °C.

Vitamin E is a strong anti-oxidative stress agent that affects the bone remodeling process. This study evaluates the effect of mixed-tocopherol supplements on bone remodeling in postmenopausal osteopenic women. A double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial study was designed to measure the effect of mixed-tocopherol on the bone turnover marker after 12 weeks of supplementation.

From an ethyl acetate-soluble fraction of the leaves of , one new trimeric -tocopherol derivative named as tocomuntin A (), together with three known -tocopherol derivatives (-) were isolated. Their structures were elucidated based on the interpretation of NMR and MS spectroscopic data. In this work, -tocopherol () was found to have -glucosidase inhibitory activity for the first time (IC, 47.

The aim of the study was to analyze the influence of the surface area to volume ratio of pressed and refined rapeseed oils on the changes in tocopherol content and polymerization of triacylglycerols during heating. In the study the pressed and refined rapeseed oil was heated at 170 °C, during 6, 12, and 18 h with three different surface area to volume (s/v) ratios (0.378, 0.
