Lipid oxidation products as a potential health and analytical problem
Lipid oxidation products as a potential health and analytical problem DĄBROWSKA M., ZIELIŃSKA A., NOWAK I.
Please cite as: CHEMIK 2015, 69, 2, 89–94 Lipids, especially unsaturated ones, are unstable compounds which easily undergo oxidation reactions. Difficult to analyze, oxidized lipids are a mixture of different compounds which not only cause the deterioration of food quality, but also lead to adverse changes in the human body. This article presents a general mechanism of lipid oxidation reaction and shows...Proteases: significance, role and determination
Proteases: significance, role and determination TOKARZEWICZ A., GORODKIEWICZ E.
Please cite as: CHEMIK 2015, 69, 2, 81–88 Proteases are compounds that play an important role in the human body. They regulate many processes inside the living organisms, also in viruses, bacteria and parasites. Their increased or decreased level may indicate irregularities in the body, such as: the development of inflammation, cancer and others like hypertension. This article describes the most important of human proteases, their significance, roles in...Vegetable sources of semi-finished chemical and pharmaceutical products. Example of triterpene made from chestnut.
Vegetable sources of semi-finished chemical and pharmaceutical products. Example of triterpene made from chestnut. GRYNKIEWICZ G., GRUZA M., JATCZAK K.
Please cite as: CHEMIK 2015, 69, 2, 75–80 Biologically active and medically useful natural substances of vegetable origin usually occur in multi-component groups of compounds with similar chemical and physical properties, which significantly inhibit their isolation, and in particular their purification. Therapeutic chestnut saponins, traditionally used in medicine in the form of complex mixture (aescin), are the example...Biomedical Engineering – the real mission, which serves technical knowledge to medical science – an interview with Prof. Ewaryst TKACZ, head of the Department of Biosensors and Biomedical Signal Processing at the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, Silesian University of Technology
