The basic unit of a fat consists of a molecule of glycerol combined with three molecules of fatty acid. When all the fatty acid molecules are of the same kind, the result is described as a simple triglyceride; if more than one kind is present, it is a mixed triglyceride. The chapter ...
Nutritious foods have to contain trace constituents such as minerals, vitamins and flavors. The role of flavors is critical; they are partially responsible for the digestion of food in man and control food recognition, selection and acceptance. Flavor ca

(provitamin A) are a large group of compounds with the basic skeleton of a polyisoprenoid carbon chain with many conjugated double bonds (Chakraborty et al.2009). Each molecule of carotenoids gets converted to two molecules of previtamin A (Retinol) in the body; the enzyme beta-carotene 15,...

Pentadecanoate (15:0) was a dietary biomarkers for dairy-fat consumption [25], which also played a vital role in muscle metabolism and function [26]. This is consistent to the findings in the current study. Isobutyrylcarnitine is a metabolic product that occurs during the transfer of acyl re...
1). One earlier direct gel NHEJ reconstitution did not include a nuclease but rather focused on the ability of the ligase complex to ligate across gaps in either strand and the ability of polymerase μ and λ to add random nucleotides (nt), thereby providing new microhomology (MH) between ...
Norrin is a small, highly conserved secreted signaling molecule that exhibits a cystine-knot motif and functions as an atypical Wnt ligand by forming complex with Fzd4 and LRP5/6.100,117Norrin specifically binds to Fzd4 with high affinity and activates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in a...
