  • Fatty Acids: Essential…Therapeutic
    Volume 3, No.2 May/June 2000 A CONCISE UPDATE OF IMPORTANT ISSUES CONCERNING NATURAL HEALTH INGREDIENTS Written and Edited By: Thomas G. Guilliams Ph.D. FATTY ACIDS: Essential...Therapeutic Few things have been as confusing to both patient and health care provider as the issue of fats and oils. Of all the essential nutrients required for optimal health, fatty acids have not only been forgotten they have been considered hazardous. Health has somehow been equated with “low-fat” or “fat-free” for so long, to suggest that fats could be essential or even therapeutic is to risk credibility. We hope to give a view of fats that is both balanced and scientific. This review will cover the basics of most fats that will be encountered in dietary or supplemental protocols. Recommendations to view essential fatty acids in a similar fashion as essential vitamins and minerals will be combined with therapeutic protocols for conditions ranging from cardiovascular disease, skin conditions, diabetes, nerve related disorders, retinal disorders and more. A complete restoration of health cannot be accomplished until there is a restoration of fatty acid nutritional information among health care professionals and their patients. Fats- What are they? Dietary fats come to us from a variety of sources, but primarily in the form of triglycerides. That is, three fatty acid molecules connected by a glycerol backbone (see fatty acid primer page 3 for diagram). These fatty acids are then used as energy by our cells or modified into phospholipids to be used as cell or organelle membranes. Some fatty acids are used in lipoprotein molecules to shuttle cholesterol and fats to and from cells, and fats may also be stored for later use.

  • Relationship Between Dietary Intake of Fatty Acids and Disease Activity in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients
    Relationship between Dietary Intake of Fatty Acids and Disease Activity in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Nutrition of the College of Allied Health Sciences by Michael R. Ciresi B.S. The Ohio State University June 2008 Committee Chair: Grace Falciglia, Ph.D. Abstract Background. Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), are chronic illnesses that affect predominately the gastrointestinal tract. The pathogenesis and etiology remain unclear but the importance of environmental factors, in particular diet, is evidenced by the increased incidence rates of the recent decades that genetic inheritance cannot account for. In particular, the quantity of fatty acid consumption has been consistently linked with IBD risk. While several studies have investigated the connections between diet, etiology, signs and symptoms associated with IBD, very few have explored the relationship between disease state and specific fatty acid intake in the pediatric IBD population. Methods. In this cross-sectional study, 100 pediatric patients from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto with diagnosed IBD (73 with Crohn’s disease (CD) and 27 with ulcerative colitis (UC)) were included. Three-day diet records were collected from the patients for the assessment of their dietary intake. The abbreviated Pediatric Crohn’s Disease Activity Index (PCDAI), the abbreviated Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index (PUCAI), and markers of inflammation (lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) and S100A12) were used to assess disease severity.

The amount of SCFAs in the body is related to many human diseases, and studies have focused on elucidating their roles and target molecules in both metabolic and immune responses. Thus, the quantitation of SCFAs in biological samples becomes crucial in understanding their important roles in the human body. Herein, a facile profiling method of SCFAs using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was developed and then applied to biological samples. C2-C6 SCFAs were derivatized while using 4-acetamido-7-mercapto-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole for 5 min. at room temperature prior to LC-MS/MS analysis, and characteristic fragmentation patterns and increased hydrophobicity after chemical derivatization enabled specific discrimination among 12 SCFAs. Derivatization was fast and reliable, and the reaction products were stable for a week at 4 ◦C.

  • Optimized and Scalable Synthesis of Magnetic Nanoparticles for RNA
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Optimized and scalable synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles for RNA extraction in response to developing countries’ needs in the detection and control of SARS‑CoV‑2 Julio C. Chacón‑Torres1*, C. Reinoso1, Daniela G. Navas‑León2, Sarah Briceño1 & Gema González1* Ecuador is one of the most afected countries, with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19) infection, in Latin America derived from an ongoing economic crisis. One of the most important methods for COVID‑19 detection is the use of techniques such as real time RT‑PCR based on a previous extraction/ purifcation of RNA procedure from nasopharyngeal cells using functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (MNP). This technique allows the processing of ~ 10,000 tests per day in private companies and around hundreds per day at local Universities guaranteeing to reach a wide range of the population. However, the main drawback of this method is the need for specialized MNP with a strong negative charge for the viral RNA extraction to detect the existence of the SARS‑CoV‑2 virus. Here we present a simplifed low cost method to produce 10 g of nanoparticles in 100 mL of solution that was scaled to one litter by parallelizing the process 10 times in just two days and allowing for the possibility of making ~ 50,000 COVID‑19 tests. This communication helps in reducing the cost of acquiring MNP for diverse biomolecular applications supporting developing country budgets constraints and chemical availability specially during the COVID‑19 International Health Emergency. Te prevailing pandemic originated from the unusual coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 that causes the COVID-19 infectious disease has been striking the medical health system world wide due to its rapid propagation person-to- person1–4.

Abstract : The present paper deals with the study of reactive extraction of caproic acid using tri-n-butyl phosphate in non-toxic diluents (oils obtain from sunflower, soybean, and rice bran) in different proportions and combinations of extractant and the non-toxic diluents. Results were presented in terms of distribution coefficients, loading ratio, degree of extraction, equilibrium complexation constants and the kinetics of reaction involved. The data obtained were found to be useful for process engineers to efficiently design reactive extraction process for the recovery of caproic acid by thorough understanding of the equilibrium characteristics. Also, the problem of toxicity in reactive extraction could be reduced by using the natural non-toxic diluents with the extractant. Keywords : Reactive extraction, TBP, Nontoxic diluent, Caproicacid, Toxicity, batch process. Introduction Reactive extraction is a showing a lot of promise for the recovery of carboxylic acid with respect to other processes such as distillation(not suitable for low concentration), electro dialysis (high cost of membrane and fouling)and other conventional precipitation processes( by product disposal).

  • Carboxylic Acids
    CARBOXYLIC ACIDS 1 Carboxylic Acids Introduction Carboxylic acids are organic compounds containing the carboxyl group (-COOH), wherein the hydroxyl group (-OH) is directly attached to the carbonyl (C=O) group. Carboxylic acids constitute one of the most frequently encountered classes of organic compounds in nature. 2 Natural Carboxylic Acids A great many carboxylic acids are encountered in nature, mostly, in fruits. Indeed carboxylic acids were among the first class of organic compounds to ever be isolated from nature. Edible carboxylic acids found in citrous fruits and fermented milk generally have sharp flavours. 3 Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acids The common names of some basic carboxylic acids are derived from Latin names that indicate the first original natural source of the carboxylic acid. Structure of Acid Natural Source Common Name O H C OH Ants (Formica) Formic acid O CH3 C OH Vinegar (Acetum) Acetic acid O CH3CH2 C OH Basic Fat (Propio) Propionic acid O CH3CH2CH2 C OH Rancid butter (Butyrum) Butyric acid Present in aValerian herb Valeric acid O 4 CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2 C OH Goat (Caper) Caproic acid Common Names of Carboxylic Acids The common name of a carboxylic acid (R-COOH) is derived by adding the suffix –ic acid to a prefix representing the chain length of the carboxylic acid. # of Carbons Prefix Common Name of Acid 1 Form- Formic acid 2 Acet- Acetic acid 3 Propion- Propionic acid 4 Butyr- Butyric acid 5 Valer- Valeric acid 6 Capro- Caproic acid Aromatic acid Benzo- Benzoic acid 5 IUPAC Nomenclature of Aliphatic Carboxylic Acids IUPAC names of straight chain aliphatic carboxylic acids are derived by adding the suffix –oic acid to the systematic name of the parent hydrocarbon.
