A procedure for the rapid identification and determination of non-polar isoprenoid lipids from animal tissues was developed. The complete determination can be carried out by reversed-phase HPLC of just two samples. The first, extracted from unaltered tissues and suitably processed by column chromatography, provides information about free cholesterol, cholesteryl esters, coenzymes Q, free dolichols and dolichyl esters. The second, obtained from saponified tissues, can be used to detect both total cholesterol and total dolichols. Specific calibration graphs were constructed for the determination of the different constituents.

Article Synopsis
- Geometric isomers closely resemble each other in polarity but differ in shape, making their separation in scientific processes a critical area of study, particularly using innovative stationary phases.* -
- The paper discusses the development of two amphiphilic dendritic organic gelling agents, SiO@PAE-ANT and SiO@PAE-PA, which are utilized as stationary phases in High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for effective separation of various non-polar isomers and other compounds.* -
- SiO@PAE-ANT demonstrates slightly better selectivity for non-polar isomers compared to SiO@PAE-PA, attributed to the unique spatial structure and multiple weak interactions present, which

Pesticide contamination and soil degradation present significant challenges in agricultural ecosystems, driving extensive exploration of biochar (BC) and nano-biochar (NBC) as potential solutions. This study examines their effects on soil properties, microbial communities, and the fate of two key pesticides: the hydrophilic methomyl (MET) and the hydrophobic lambda-cyhalothrin (LCT), at different concentrations (1%, 3%, and 5% w w) in agricultural soil. Through a carefully designed seven-week black bean pot experiment, the results indicated that the addition of BC/NBC significantly influenced soil dynamics.
