https://www.selleckchem.com/products/GDC-0879.html The objective of this work was to concentrate, through a membrane separation process, the fatty acids from oil/solvent mixture. The oil was obtained by ultrasound-assisted extraction from freeze-dried cells of Mortierella isabellina. The concentration of the fatty acids was investigated using flat-sheet polymer membranes of ultrafiltration and nanofiltration. The effects of temperature and pressure were evaluated by the retention of the fatty acids. Oil retentions between 45.23 and 58.20% to ultrafiltration membrane and 43.50 and 56.00% to nanofiltration membrane were observed. The best condition for the ultrafiltration membrane was 4 bar and 40 °C and for nanofiltration membrane was 12 bar and 50 °C. The oil contains a high concentration of oleic acid and palmitic acid that is a desirable property for the biodiesel production. The results showed the applicability of this technology in the solvent recovery step whereas the oil recovered contains a high concentration of fatty acids.Numerous eligible articles investigated the potential impact of the promoter region of UCP2 (rs659366) variant and the susceptibility for obesity with questionable outcomes. Our team designed this case-control combined with meta-analysis survey to illustrate the contribution of this variant with obesity. This case-control survey was formulated based on 110 obese Egyptian patients and 122 non-obese controls. Genomic DNA was amplified for ascertaining of UCP2 (G-866A; rs659366) variant exploiting the PCR-RFLP technique. A literature search was completed to investigate the involvement of this variant with obesity from various genetic databases. In this case-control study, the distribution of UCP2 (rs659366) variant showed a significant association with obesity among Egyptian subjects under allelic and dominant models (P value = 0.0006 and less then 0.001, respectively). Overall, twenty-five comparisons for this variant (8652 obese patients an
