Thermostabilization of BSA in TMAO Water Mixtures by Infrared Spectroscopy
2019
Background:Trimethylamine-N-Oxide (TMAO) is a small organic molecule derived from the metabolism of L-carnitine and choline after ingestion of animal food. TMAO has many functions such as electron acceptor, an osmolyte, stabilizer of macromolecules folding. It seems that TMAO plays an important role in nature but, in humans, it is a remnant of the evolution of the osmolyte system.Objective:The present paper is addressed on the study of thermal stability of hydrated Bovine Serum Albumins (BSA) in the presence of water and TMAO water solution by means of InfraRed spectroscopy. In particular, this work has investigated the protein amide I spectral regions, which is sensitive to protein seconda…
Trimetilamīna-N-Oksīda saistība ar metabolisko sindromu pacientiem ar paaugstinātu kardiovaskulāro risku
2016
Ievads. Trimetilamīna-N-oksīds (TMAO) ir jauns kardiovaskulārā riska marķieris, kura metabolisms un riska asociācijas mehānismi ir neskaidri. Ir zināms, ka TMAO līmenis ir augstāks pacientiem ar 2. tipa cukura diabētu, bet tā saistība ar metabolisko sindromu (MS) ir maz pētīta. Mērķis. Noskaidrot, vai pastāv TMAO līmeņa saistība ar MS pacientiem ar paaugstinātu kardiovaskulāro risku. Metodes. Šis ir viena centra novērojošs šķērsgriezuma pētījums, kurā tika iekļauti pacienti pēc specifiski izstrādāta pētījuma dizaina, lai optimāli izvērtētu visus TMAO līmeni ietekmējošos faktorus. Datu statistiskā apstrāde tika veikta ar SPSS programmas 20.0 versiju. Rezultāti. No kopā iekļautajiem 163 pacie…

Enrichment of Bacterioplankton Able to Utilize One-Carbon and Methylated Compounds in the Coastal Pacific Ocean
2018
International audience; Understanding the temporal variations and succession of bacterial communities involved in the turnover of one-carbon and methylated compounds is necessary to better predict bacterial impacts on the marine carbon cycle and air-sea carbon fluxes. The ability of the local bacterioplankton community to exploit one-carbon and methylated compounds as main source of bioavailable carbon during a productive and less productive period was assessed through enrichment experiments. Surface seawater was amended with methanol and trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), and bacterial abundance, production, oxygen consumption, as well as methanol turnover and growth rates of putative methylot…
Antologia di racconti postmaoisti (1977-1981)
2017
Il volume, corredato da una prefazione del Prof. Paolo Santangelo, comprende una lunga introduzione sullo sviluppo della letteratura cinese contemporanea incentrata sul racconto, e propone, nella traduzione italiana dell'Autrice stessa dall'originale in cinese, dodici racconti scritti fra il 1977 e il 1981. The volume includes a preface written by Prof. Paolo Santangelo, a long introduction to the contemporary Chinese literature based on the short story, and the translations by the Author herself into Italian from the original in Chinese of twelve short stories written between 1977 and 1981.
