Context: Conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs) are a mixture of positional and geometric isomers of linoleic acid (LA) and believed to have many positive biological activities.
Objective: The present study was undertaken to assess the antioxidant activity of cis-9, trans-11 and trans-10, cis-12 as single or mixed CLA isomers at two ratios, 1:6 and 1:13 (trans-10, cis-12/cis-9, trans-11).
Materials And Methods: A microplate reader was used to determine the free radical scavenging properties of CLAs against DPPH radical in ethanol.
Results: The kinetic reactions of CLA-DPPH(•) showed that all tested CLAs have exerted radical scavenging activities in a dose-dependent manner and observed to immediately react and quench DPPH radicals at all tested levels and no lag phase was noticed in CLA-DPPH(•) reactions. The median inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) value for cis-9, trans-11 CLA was observed to be more effective than other tested CLA. Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of all tested CLAs were less effective radical scavengers as compared to vitamin E and butylated hydroxytoluene, although all tested CLAs were quenched a high amount (P < 0.05) of DPPH free radicals.
Discussion And Conclusion: All tested CLAs have the ability to directly react and quench DPPH free radicals in ethanol. Furthermore, trans-10, cis-12 CLA has greater maximal efficacy than other tested CLAs as free radical scavenger, while cis-9, trans-11 CLA is the most potent isomer to directly react and quench free radicals at low concentrations in the system, suggesting that the free radical scavenging activity of CLA isomers may contribute to their diverse biological activities.

'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' (CLas), the agent associated with the Huanglongbing (HLB) citrus disease, is commonly detected using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) with hydrolysis probes. Internal standards are typically included in the qPCR assays to reduce the risk of false negatives caused by inhibitors. When the internal standard is detected but CLas is not, it is generally assumed that the pathogen is absent from the tested sample.

Slow oscillation (SO) brainwaves observed during sleep have been shown to reflect the process of memory consolidation, that underlies the critical role of sleep in learning, memory, and other cognitive functions. Closed-loop auditory stimulation (CLAS) uses tones presented in phase with SOs to increase their amplitude and number, along with other brainwave signatures related to memory consolidation. Prior studies have found that CLAS maximizes the ability to perform rote memorization tasks, although this remains controversial.

Background: Huanglongbing (HLB) is a systemic disease of citrus caused by the bacterial pathogen Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) that limits citrus production worldwide. CLas is an obligate bacterial pathogen that multiplies in citrus trees and in the insect vector, the Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri Kuwayama. There is no cure for HLB currently and broad-spectrum antibiotics represent one possible therapeutic against disease symptoms.
