Seed oils were hydrolyzed under mild conditions and the major conjugated fatty acid of each oil was isolated and identified. In two families, species which were closely related botanically contained different but isomeric acids. Thus, in the Bignoniaceae, Jacaranda chelonia had cis trans,cis-8,10,12-octadecatrienoic acid as a major acid while Catalpa speciosa had trans,trans,cis-9,11,13-octadecatrienoic acid. In the Cucurbitaceae, Momordica charantia had the ordinary cis,trans,trans-9,11,13-octadecatrienoic (α-eleostearic) acid while M. balsamina had cis,trans,cis-9,11,13-octadecatrienoic (punicic) acid. M. balsamina is a new and convenient source of punicic acid. α-Eleostearic acid was identified as a major acid in examples of Valerianaceae and Rosaceae. Further proof was obtained that the fatty acid of Calendula officinalis (Compositae) is trans,trans,cis-8,10,12-octadecatrienoic acid.

<p class="ADMETabstracttext">In this study the effects of Calendula officinalis L. (Asteraceae) extract (CO) on the polyunsaturated fatty acid composition, chemiluminescence and unsaturation index of microsomes isolated from brain rat, are presented. After incubation of microsomes in an ascorbate (0.4 mM)-Fe<sup>2+</sup> (2.15 µM) system (180 min at 37 °C) it was observed that the total cpm/mg protein originated from light emission:chemiluminescence was lower in brain microsomes obtained from CO group compared to the control group (without extract supplementation). Moreover, it was observed that the addition of the extract reduced chemiluminescence -measured as total cpm- in a concentration dependent manner. The fatty acid composition of brain microsomes from control group was profoundly modified when subjected to non-enzymatic lipoperoxidation with a considerable decrease of arachidonic acid C20:4w6 and docosahexaenoic acid C22:6w3. As a consequence, the unsaturation index, a parameter based on the maximal rate of oxidation of specific fatty acids, was higher in the CO group compared to controls. The simultaneous analysis of unsaturation index, chemiluminescence and fatty acid composition indicate that CO may act as an antioxidant protecting rat brain microsomes from peroxidative damage.</p>

Covalent Bonds

The structural damage of molecules irradiated by electrons is generally considered to occur in two steps. The direct result of inelastic scattering events is the disruption of covalent bonds. Following changes in bond structure, movement of the constituent atoms produces permanent distortions of the molecules. Since at least the second step should show a strong temperature dependence, it was to be expected that cooling a specimen should extend its lifetime in the electron beam. This result has been found in a large number of experiments, but the degree to which cooling the specimen enhances its resistance to radiation damage has been found to vary widely with specimen types.

Effect Of Light

Cyanobacteria are Gram negative prokaryotes that are capable of oxygenic photosynthesis. Although there are many similarities between eukaryotes and cyanobacteria in electron transfer and phosphorylation during photosynthesis, there are two features of the photosynthetic apparatus in cyanobacteria which distinguishes them from plants. Cyanobacteria contain phycobiliproteins organized in phycobilisomes on the surface of photosynthetic membrane. Another difference is in the organization of the photosynthetic membranes. Instead of stacked thylakolds within a chloroplast envelope membrane, as seen In eukaryotes, IntracytopIasmlc membranes generally are arranged in three to six concentric layers. Environmental factors such as temperature, nutrition and light fluency can significantly affect the physiology and morphology of cells. The effect of light Intensity shifts on the ultrastructure of Internal membrane in Anabaena variabilis grown under controlled environmental conditions was examined. Since a major constituent of cyanobacterial thylakolds are lipids, the fatty acid content also was measured and correlated with uItrastructural changes. The regulation of fatty acid synthesis in cyanobacteria ultimately can be studied if the fatty acid content can be manipulated.
