There is a major paradox in our understanding of honey bee immunity: the high population density in a bee colony implies a high rate of disease transmission among individuals, yet bees are predicted to express only two-thirds as many immunity
Glycation is a nonenzymatic condensation reaction between reducing sugars and amino groups of proteins that undergo rearrangements to stable ketoamines, leading to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) including fluorescent (argpyrimidine) and nonfluorescent (N(epsilon)-carboxymethyllysine; CML) protein adducts and

The interaction between phenolic compounds and protein thiols was investigated in minced beef with or without 500 ppm 4-methylcatechol (4-MC) that had been stored under oxygen or argon for 7 days (4 °C). Myofibrillar protein isolates were extracted, and the
Journal of neuropathology and experimental neurology, 67(2), 93-104 (2008-01-26)
To generate an experimental neuropathy model in which small-diameter sensory nerves are specifically affected and to test a potential treatment, adult mice were given a single injection (50 microg/kg, i.p.) of the capsaicin analog resiniferatoxin (RTX). On Day 7 after
Enzymatic browning of sprouts during storage is a serious problem negatively influencing their consumer quality. Identifying and understanding the mechanism of inhibition of polyphenol oxidases (PPOs) in lentil sprouts may offer inexpensive alternatives to prevent browning. This study focused on
