Serum 18:2 (9, 11) linoleic acid concentration was measured in normal pregnancy and pre-eclampsia. The 18:2 (9, 11) linoleic acid in normal pregnancy increased progressively with advancing gestation, reaching the highest value at the end of pregnancy. The 18:2 (9, 11) linoleic acid concentration in pregnancy complicated by pre-eclampsia was significantly higher than in normal pregnancy after week 28. It is suggested that measurement of the 18:2 (9, 11) linoleic acid concentration in plasma may be useful as a predictor of the likely development of pre-eclampsia.

The cultivation of soybean is being expanded in traditional areas cultivated with rice, called the lowlands. However, soil characteristics are different from those in the highlands, which influences the exportation of nutrients to the grains. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the physical-chemical and technological characteristics of soybean grains harvested in lowlands in Brazil.

Background And Hypothesis: Gut microbiota has been implicated in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia (SZ) and relevant changes in the brain, but the underlying mechanism remains elusive. This study aims to investigate the microbiota-gut-brain crosstalk centered on peripheral inflammation in SZ patients.
Study Design: We recruited a cohort of 182 SZ patients and 120 healthy controls (HC).

Background: Bufalin (BFL, an active anti-tumor compound derived from ) is limited in its application due to high toxicity and rapid metabolism of the cardiotonic steroid. Ester prodrug self-assembly nanoparticles have shown significant improved effects in addressing the above-mentioned issues.
Methods: An ester bond was formed between linoleic acid and bufalin to synthesize linoleic acid-bufalin prodrug (LeB).

Aqueous enzymatic extraction (AEE) of macauba pulp oil (MPO) was performed in this study with five commercial enzymatic pools. The chemical, nutritional, and thermal properties of the oils with high oil efficiency by AEE were evaluated and compared with mechanical pressing (MP) and organic solvent extraction (SE). Among the AEE processes, the pectinase pool (at pH 5.
