Egg low-density lipoprotein (LDL) was added at concentrations of 7-10% to the extenders used to freeze bull semen and its effects on the motility, mitochondria activity, acrosome integrity, membrane integrity and DNA integrity of frozen-thawed sperm were assessed. Analysis of data showed that the motility and characteristics of spermatozoa movement were higher with LDL in the extender, as compared to the extender containing 20% egg yolk. The results indicated that 8% LDL supplementation provided the highest sperm motility (55.8%) and movement characteristics (VSL, straight linear velocity: 33.8 microm/s; VCL, curvilinear velocity: 50.2 microm/s; LIN, linearity index: 56.5%; STR, mean coefficient: 76.7%; VAP, average path velocity: 35.9 microm/s; WOB, wobble coefficient: 63.9%). A concentration of 10% LDL resulted in a significant decline in the VSL, LIN, VAP and WOB values (P<0.05). Supplementation of LDL at 8% LDL resulted in significantly higher spermatozoa mitochondrial activity, acrosome integrity, membrane integrity and DNA integrity (P<0.05). According to all measured parameters, the extender containing 8% LDL showed beneficial cryoprotective effects on frozen-thawed bull spermatozoa. In conclusion, our results indicated that the extender containing 8% LDL extracted from egg yolk could be used successfully in the cryopreservation of bull semen with an efficacy that would be greater than present extenders containing 20% egg yolk.

Differences in Absorption and Metabolism between Structured 1,3-Oleate-2-palmitate Glycerol and 1-Oleate-2-palmitate-3-linoleate Glycerol on C57BL/6J Mice.

This study investigated differences in absorption and metabolism between 1,3-oleate-2-palmitate glycerol (OPO) and 1-oleate-2-palmitate-3-linoleate glycerol (OPL) using C57BL/6J mice. OPL was associated with higher postprandial plasma total triacylglycerol (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations, and the ratio of LDL-C to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) compared to those of OPO ( > 0.05).

Evidence from mice with global deletion of fatty-acid transport protein4 (FATP4) indicates its role on β-oxidation and triglycerides (TG) metabolism. We reported that plasma glycerol and free fatty acids (FA) were increased in liver-specific Fatp4 deficient (L-FATP4) mice under dietary stress. We hypothesized that FATP4 may mediate hepatocellular TG lipolysis.

Objective: To investigate the protective effect of against oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)- induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) injury and explore the underlying mechanism.
Methods: HUVECs cultured in the presence of 10% fetal bovine serum were treated with ox-LDL (100 μg/mL), ox-LDL+0.1% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), or ox-LDL+Danshenxinkun B (100 ng/mL, dissolved in DMSO) for 24 h.

Article Synopsis
- - A new type of film made of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) was developed, containing cinnamon essential oil and silver nanoparticles to help preserve fresh strawberries.
- - The antimicrobial effectiveness of the films was tested against common bacteria and fungi, with the best results showing over 75% inhibition of microbial growth, particularly in the film containing the active formulation.
- - Storage trials indicated that the most effective film (with the active formulation) significantly reduced spoilage and weight loss in strawberries, especially when combined with gamma radiation, resulting in up to a 94% decrease in decay after 12 days.
