In a group of 264 boars, including both cryptorchides and hermaphrodites, skatole was measured using a photometric method developed in Denmark. It resulted in a concentration of skatole equivalents (SE) in the fat of 0.14 ppm in belly tissue and 0.18 ppm in flomen tissue on average, respectively. 10.6% of belly and 16.3% of flomen tissue exceeded the limiting value of 0.25 ppm skatole for boar taint. The photometric determination of skatole is based on a relatively unspecific reaction according to Ehrlich. Therefore, other derivatives of indole concerning the decomposition of tryptophan are recorded, and the results must be declared as SE. In comparison with HPLC, the photometric method yields values that are too high, indole is always found with skatole in a considerable amount, and the other skatole equivalents seem to play a subordinate part.

Salicylic acid is a member of benzoic acid derivatives, a group of compounds which have a backbone of C6C1 consisting of one carboxyl group and one (or more) hydroxyl group(s) attached to the aromatic ring. Salicylic acid is a signaling compound in systemic acquired resistance (SAR). An increased level of salicylic acid is found in the plant after a fungi's attack, which further induces the accumulation of phytoalexins, low molecular weight defense compounds.

Flavonoids are a group of specialized metabolites that are ubiquitously found within the plant kingdom. While they fulfill various important functions within the plant, they are also utilized by humans in a variety of different fields such as medicine, food science, and agriculture. Thus, to elucidate the chemical composition of any given plant extract, extraction and identification of flavonoids are of high interest.

Background/purpose: Dyslipidemia, a hallmark of metabolic syndrome (MetS), contributes to atherosclerotic and cardiometabolic disorders. Due to days-long analysis, current clinical procedures for cardiotoxic blood lipid monitoring are unmet. This study used AI-assisted attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy to identify MetS and precisely quantify multiple blood lipid levels with a blood sample of 0.

Unlabelled: In very preterm-born infants, nutritional intake is important to reduce the risk of severe metabolic bone disease including the risk of a lower bone mineral density (BMD). The aim of this study was to evaluate bone mineral content (BMC) and BMD (measured as BMC per bone area (BA)) at six years of age in very preterm-born infants fed different diets post-discharge. Data on this topic so far is insufficient, and with this study we aim to supply more useful data.

Rapid and sensitive protein detection methods are of benefit to clinical diagnosis, pathological mechanism research, and infection prevention. However, routine protein detection technologies, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot, suffer from low sensitivity, poor quantification and labourious operation. Herein, we developed a fully automated protein analysis system to conduct fast protein quantification at the single molecular level.
