Nutrition Induced Remodeling Dynamics of Cell Membranes: Implications for Performance, Health, and Welfare Issues in Food Animals
Abstract: Cell membranes represent dynamic structural and functional platforms that integrate nutritional signals with cellular metabolism, immune competence, and physiological adaptation in food animals. Beyond their classical role as selective barriers, membranes actively regulate nutrient transport, signal transduction, and bioenergetics through highly responsive lipid and protein networks. Dietary components, particularly fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and bioactive compounds, critically influence membrane composition, fluidity, and stability, thereby shaping cellular function and …

THE REGULATORY ROLE OF FOOD SPICES AGAINST LIPID PEROXIDATION IN MEAT PRODUCTS
Abstract: Spices are plant-based materials used for enhancing the flavor, taste and aroma of meat and have been employed in cooking and meat processing for many decade. Interestingly, some of these spices have found relevance in meat preservation as they not only enhance the flavor and taste of meat product but can also reduce meat spoilage. One of the major causes of meat spoilage outside those induced by microbes is Lipid …

Electrooxidation Study of Acetic Acid at Low Temperature in Membrane Less Microfluidic Fuel Cell for Portable Power Application
Abstract: The global energy crisis due to dependence on fossil fuel and its limited reserves followed by environmental pollution are the key concerns to the research communities. However, recently developed micro-fluidic fuel cells using hydrogen-rich fuels are most likely to replace the batteries, due to their compactness, high efficiency and simplicity in operation. In this context, the PtxSn/C (where, x=1, 3, 5) electrode-catalysts were prepared and the electro-oxidation of acetic acid …

High-Performance Polymer Composite Membranes for Selective Ion Transport in Advanced Energy Conversion Systems
Abstract: The development of high-performance Polymer Composite Membranes (PCM) with enhanced ion transport is essential for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC). However, low-humidity conditions and filter agglomeration still limit long-term membrane stability. This research designs a functionalized PCM integrating cross-linked Poly (Vinyl Alcohol)/Poly (Ethylene Glycol) (PVA/PEG) matrix with sulfonic acid functional groups and Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) nanofillers to improve selective ion transport under low-humidity conditions. Two types of PCM were …

The Role of Cholesterol in Biological Membranes
Abstract: Cholesterol plays the role of a regulator that ensures the correct packaging of the lipid part of the membrane, which is necessary for its normal operation, by influencing on the mobility of the fatty acid tails of membrane lipids: if the membrane is too rigid and there is a danger of "freezing" of fatty acid chains, cholesterol causes it to liquefy, since the chains in its presence become more mobile; …

Formulation and Evaluation of Aqueous Azadirachta indica Phytosome
Abstract: A phytosome is a complex created through the union of a natural compound, typically a plant extract, with a phospholipid. Phospholipids play a crucial role in cell membranes, possessing a structure comprising a hydrophilic (water-attracting) head and hydrophobic (water-repelling) tails. This distinctive structure enables phospholipids to construct lipid bilayers, fundamental elements of cell membranes. Phytosome increases the bioavailability, and absorption of active chemical constituents in the extract with the help …

Impact of Free Radicals and Antioxidants on Human Health
Abstract: Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms with an odd (unpaired) number of electrons and can be formed when oxygen interacts with certain molecules. Once formed these highly reactive radicals can start a chain reaction heir chief danger comes from the damage they can do when they react with important cellular components such as DNA, or the cell membrane. Cells may function poorly or die if this occurs. To …

Platelets A Tiny Cell Fragments
Abstract: Platelets are disc-shaped, anucleate cells that are approximately 2-3 μm in diameter. Their primary function is to control hemostasis, or blood clotting, but they also play important roles in angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and innate immunity (the body's first line of defence against infection). With a diameter of just 2-3 microns, platelets are tiny, disc-shaped cells that lack a nucleus. While their main responsibility is to ensure …
