Iron chelates analogous to o,o-EDDHA/Fe(3+) are the fertilizers chosen to treat iron chlorosis in plants growing on calcareous soil. The isomer o,p-EDDHA/Fe(3+) presents less stability but faster assimilation by the plant than o,o-EDDHA/Fe(3+), because only five coordinating groups are able

It has been theorized for decades that mitochondria act as the biological clock of ageing, but the evidence is incomplete. Here we show a strong coupling between mitochondrial function and ageing by in vivo visualization of the mitochondrial flash (mitoflash)

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of carbonyl compounds, namely aldehydes, ketones and keto acids in urine, has been developed. Pre-column derivatization with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine offers sufficient sensitivity for the determination of glyoxylic acid in urine with a detection

The enzymatic activities unique to the glyoxylate cycle of higher plants and certain lower invertebrates, isocitrate lyase and malate synthase, have been demonstrated in homogenates prepared from human liver. Human liver can also carry out cyanide-insensitive fatty acid oxidation from
