味精废水中粘红酵母和螺旋藻混合培养生产油脂

研究了在味精废水中混合培养粘红酵母和钝顶螺旋藻，并生产油脂。将COD（化学需氧量）为32000mg/L的味精废水稀释5倍，pH值调节到5.5，接种10%粘红酵母，培养3d后接种10%螺旋藻。培养5d后，COD降解率为70.3%，油脂产量为216mg/L，分别是粘红酵母单独培养的1.75倍和5.42倍，螺旋藻单独培养的2.36倍和7.64倍。混合培养也利于废水中NH₄⁺-N、还原糖以及谷氨酸的去除。     

Transmembrane movements of lipids

Summary Membranes allow the rapid passage of uncharged lipids. Phospholipids on the other hand diffuse very slowly from one monolayer to another with a half-time of several hours. This slow spontaneous movement in a pure lipid bilayer can be selectively modulated in biological membranes by intrinsic proteins. In microsomes, and probably in bacterial membranes, non-specific phospholipid flippases allow the rapid redistribution of newly synthesized phospholipids. In eukaryotic plasma membranes, aminophospholipid translocase selectively pumps phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) from the outer to the inner leaflet and establishes a permanent lipid asymmetry. The discovery of an aminophospholipid translocase in chromaffin granules proves that eukaryotic organelles may also contain lipid translocators.     

核受体LXRa靶基因研究进展

核受体的研究近几年已有飞速的发展。LXRa(Liver X Receptor a)是一种与脂类代谢有关的核受体。研究发现LXRa的靶基因具有调节脂类的吸收、运输、转化和生物合成的功能,此外,LXRa在糖类的代谢等方面也有重要的调控作用。研究结果表明LXRa与动脉粥样硬化的发生有非常密切的关系。目前利用LXRa为靶标进行抗动脉粥样硬化药物筛选已经成为一个重要的研究方法。     

The effects of vitamin A nutritional status on glutathione levels and microsomal lipid peroxidation in rat lung

Summary In vitamin A-deficient rats, the glutathione level in lung was diminished and microsomal lipid peroxidation much increased. In vitamin A-loaded animals, however, both were depressed below control. Thus vitamin A protection against lipid peroxidation is independent of glutathione.Acknowledgments. We thank Dr L. Y. Y. Fong and Mr David Y. H. Woo for preparing the animals used in this research, for retinol determinations and for valuable discussions, and also the China Medical Board of New York and the University of Hong Kong for the award of a Fellowship to V.P.     

Interaction of SynaptotagminⅠ with Phospholipid Membrane: A Monolayer Study

IntroductionSynaptotagmin is a family of vesicletransmembrane proteins present in synapticvesicles and large secretary granules of neuronsand endocrine cells[1 ] .It is a major constituent ofsynaptic vesicle membranes,comprising7% 8%of the total vesicle protein,characterized by ashort intravesiclar N-terminus,a singletransmembrane region,and a long plasmicdomain.　The best-charaterized form of synaptotagmin,syt ,is found abundantly in rostrol brain.Syt was first described in 1 981 [2 ] ,and i…     

加工工艺对鸡酥松脂肪氧化的影响

为研究加工工艺对鸡酥松加工过程脂肪氧化的影响,考察蒸煮时间、蒸煮温度、炒松时间对2-硫代巴比妥酸值的影响,分析炒松工艺对鸡酥松脂肪氧化以及综合评分的影响,结果表明,炒松时间显著影响脂肪氧化,加工工艺中对脂肪氧化影响程度由大到小依次为炒松时间、蒸煮温度和初煮时间,而影响产品综合评估得分的因素由强至弱依次为炒松时间、初煮时间和蒸煮温度;优化后较适的加工工艺条件为初煮50min、复煮10min、蒸煮温度90℃、炒松时间20min、2-硫代巴比妥酸作用底物值为2.26mg/kg。产品综合评分与2-硫代巴比妥酸作用底物值的趋势并不完全吻合,鸡酥松加工过程中的工艺影响脂肪氧化程度和产品品质。     

Effect of chronic ethanol treatment on peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase activity and lipid peroxidation in rat liver and heart

Summary Chronic ethanol administration was shown to increase catalase and acyl-CoA oxidase activities in rat myocardium but did not alter the activity of liver peroxisomal enzymes. As a result of alcohol consumption a 2–3-fold increase in the level of lipid peroxidation was observed in the heart tissue while in the liver the induction was much less pronounced.     

Thiyl radicals in biosystems: effects on lipid structures and metabolisms

Thiyl radicals are intermediates of enzyme- and radical-driven biochemical processes, and their potential as reactive species in the biological environment has been somehow underestimated. From organic chemistry, however, it is known that thiyl radicals isomerize the double bonds of unsaturated fatty acids to a mixture with very dominating trans isomers. Recently, this reaction has been particularly studied for biosystems, focusing on the effect of thiyl radicals on the natural all-cis double bonds of unsaturated phospholipids, which undergo a conversion to the unnatural trans form. In this paper we report briefly the role of thiyl radicals in biosystems, describe the main features of the radical-induced cis-trans isomerization process under both in vitro and in vivo conditions, and reflect on some consequences for membrane structures, lipid metabolism and enzymatic reactions.Received 29 October 2004; received after revision 3 December 2004; accepted 4 January 2005     

长期有氧运动对肥胖青少年血糖、血脂及体重的影响

分析长期有氧运动对肥胖青少年血糖、血脂及体重的影响,选择参加某减肥夏令营、不经常锻炼的120个体脂率大于30%的肥胖青少年作为研究对象,受试者进入减肥夏令营后需进行5周全封闭式营养干预与运动干预,所有受试者一周运动6 d,每天上午和下午分别进行2 h的有氧运动,在正式运动前需进行10 min的准备活动,在运动结束后需进行约15 min的整理活动。结果经5周有氧运动后不同性别受试者体重均有所降低,说明长期有氧运动可有效减少肥胖青少年脂肪,降低肥胖青少年体重;肥胖青少年血糖指标均降低,原本异常的受试者血糖水平降低至正常水平,说明长期有氧运动能够有效降低血糖,减少并发糖尿病的危险性;同时,长期有氧运动对改善肥胖青少年血脂水平有明显的效果。
