Roe protein concentrates prepared from Channa striatus (CRPC) and Lates calcarifer (LRPC) were investigated for physico-chemical characteristics, amino acid composition, functional properties and antioxidant activity. Channa and Lates roes yielded 20.7% and 22.5% of protein concentrates possessing 90.2% and 82.5% protein, respectively. Major differences were not observed in each of the amino acids except leucine in CRPC and LRPC. The solubility of protein was 3.93-54.6% and 1.6-55.5% over a pH range of 2-12 in CRPC and LRPC, respectively. Water absorption, oil absorption, foam capacity, stability and emulsifying capacity were found to be higher in CRPC than in LRPC. Antioxidant activity determined by the radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing power was higher in CRPC. SDS-PAGE of both roe protein concentrates showed protein bands of 170, 95 and 55kDa. Moisture sorption isotherms of protein concentrates indicated their hygroscopic nature.

Background: There is a growing interest in exploring the biological characteristics of nanoparticles and exploring their potential applications. However, there is still a lack of research into the potential genotoxicity of fullerene derivatives and their impact on gene expression in human cells. In this study, we investigated the effects of a water-soluble fullerene derivative, C60[C6H4SCH2COOK]5H (F1), on human embryonic lung fibroblasts (HELF).

Hyperlipidemia is a critical risk factor for obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and other chronic diseases. Our study was to determine the effects and mechanism of mangiferin (MF) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) compounds on improving hyperlipidemia in HepG2 cells. HepG2 cells were treated with 0.

Exercise stress test-induced hypofibrinolysis and changes in circulating levels of several interleukins have been observed in aortic stenosis (AS). However, it is unknown whether the pattern of exercise-induced changes in oxidative stress differs between AS patients and controls and if the differences are associated with changes in fibrinolysis and inflammation. We studied 32 asymptomatic patients with moderate-to-severe AS and 32 controls of similar age, sex, and body mass index.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) remains a global health burden and is often characterized by heterogeneous molecular profiles and resistance to conventional therapies. The phosphoinositide 3-kinase and PI3K and Janus kinase (JAK) signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) pathways play pivotal roles in GC progression, making them attractive targets for therapeutic interventions.
Methods: This study applied a computational and molecular dynamics simulation approach to identify and characterize SBL-JP-0004 as a potential dual inhibitor of JAK2 and PI3KCD kinases.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the correlation of ovarian sensitivity index (OSI) and clinical parameters in IVF treatments.
Methods: IVF data files between January 2011 and December 2020 in a single unit were included. The primary outcome measure was the correlation between the OSI and clinical pregnancy and live birth rates.
