THE INTERACTION OF SLAUGHTERING, DRYING, AND DEFATTING METHODS DIFFERENTLY AFFECTS OXIDATIVE QUALITY OF THE FAT FROM BLACK SOLDIER FLY (HERMETIA ILLUCENS) LARVAE

The interrelation effect of slaughtering, drying, and defatting methods of BSFL on the oxidative quality of the derived fat was studied.Blanching and freezing were compared as slaughtering methods, followed by oven or freeze-drying for drying and mechanical pressing or SFE for defatting.The oxidative state and stability of the extracted fat and def

Gypsophila tomentosa and G.struthium are closely related species, characteristic of two European priority habitats, salt and gypsum inland steppes, respectively.Germination strategies of the two taxa were investigated in plants from two nearby populations, growing under the same climatic conditions but on different types of soil, and belonging to d

Gasdermin-D (GSDMD) is the ultimate effector of pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death associated with pathogen invasion and inflammation.After proteolytic cleavage by caspases, the GSDMD N-terminal domain (GSDMDNT) assembles on the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane and induces the formation of membrane pores.We use atomistic molecular dyna

Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is a potent flame retardant used in numerous appliances and a major pollutant in households and ecosystems.In vertebrates, it was shown to affect neurodevelopment, the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and thyroid signaling, but its toxicity and modes of actions are still a matter of debate.The molecular phenotype re
