Thedesaturationof fatty acids is essential for thebiosynthesisofUFAs(Fig. 1). It relies on specific desaturases, which require molecular oxygen and two electrons to insert double bonds at specified positions within fatty acyl chains [59]. In mammals, four classes of desaturases are described: d...
Study objective To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the combined Kushida morphometric model (KMM) and the oxygen desaturation index (ODI) for screening individuals with obstructive sleep apnea. Methods Diagnostic test study with adults >18 years, both sexes, polysomnography, body mass index...
Total SOD activity was measured on the supernatant with a superoxide dismutase assay kit (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, product number 706002) according to manufacturer’s instructions. This kit utilizes a tetrazolium salt for detection of superoxide radicals generated from oxygen by xant...
