The effect of resistant starches on fat oxidation in healthy adults as measured by a 13CO2-breath test

A resistant starch (RS) mixture (MIX) consisting of fibre of potatoes (FP) and wrinkled pea starch (WPS), and high amylose maize starch (HAMS) were supplemented in adults to evaluate their effects on fat oxidation by means of a ¹³CO₂-breath test. Sixteen subjects received a regular diet either without or with the supplementation of MIX and HAMS in randomised order. After administration of a [U-¹³C]algal lipid mixture, exhaled air was collected over 14?h in 0.5- and 1-h intervals. The ¹³C abundances were measured by nondispersive infrared spectroscopy. In comparison to the dry run (DR), supplementation with MIX and with HAMS increased the cumulative percentage dose recovery: (DR: 16.7?%, MIX: 16.9?%, HAMS: 18.0?%), but without statistical significance. The colonic degradation of MIX and HAMS to short-chain fatty acids tends to lower the formation of carbohydrate-derived acetyl-CoA and contributes to a postprandial lipid oxidation increase by using fat-derived acetyl-CoA as a compensatory fuel source.     

The metabolic effect of resistant starch and yoghurt on the renal and faecal nitrogen and ammonia excretion in humans as measured by lactose-[15N2]ureide

Resistant starch (RS) and Lactobacillus acidophilus yoghurt (LC1) were supplemented simultaneously in healthy adults to evaluate the effect on the urinary and faecal nitrogen and ammonia excretion by means of lactose-[¹⁵N₂]ureide (¹⁵N-LU) degradation. Nineteen subjects received a regular daily diet either without or with supplementation of an RS-LC1-mixture composed of fibre of potatoes (RS type 1), wrinkle pea starch (RS type 2), and LC1 over a 20-day period in randomised order. Thereafter, ¹⁵N-LU was administered together with breakfast. Urine and faeces were collected over a period of 48 and 72 h, respectively. The ¹⁵N abundances were measured by isotope ratio mass spectrometry. The intake of the pre- and probiotic mixture composed of RS of type 1, type 2 and of LC1 significantly lowered the colonic generation and the renal excretion of toxic ¹⁵NH₃ and functioned as an ammonia shift from urinary to faecal ¹⁵N excretion when using ¹⁵N-LU as a xenobiotic marker.     

Latitudinal distribution of nitrogen isotopic composition in suspended particulate organic matter in tropical/subtropical seas

Natural nitrogen isotopic composition (δ¹⁵N) of suspended particulate organic matter (POM) and nitrogen fixation rates via ¹⁵N₂ assay were measured in surface waters along 120° E from 30° N to 30° S in the Asian marginal seas (the East/South China Seas and the Sulu/Celebes/Java Seas) and the northeastern Indian Ocean in November–December 2005 and March 2006. The POM δ¹⁵N values ranged from?1.8 to 12.2‰ with an average of 3.6‰ and showed a decreasing trend towards the equator in both hemispheres. In parallel, the measured N₂ fixation rates showed an increase from the subtropical to the tropical seas. This implies that a higher contribution of ¹⁵N-depleted POM was derived from enhanced N₂ fixation. Water temperature and the stability of water column were partly responsible for the observed variations in nitrogen fixation. The large-scale spatial variations in suspended POM δ¹⁵N and N₂ fixation rates suggest that the suspended POM δ¹⁵N may be a potential indicator of nitrogen fixation in surface waters in tropical/subtropical seas.     

In vivo NMR spectroscopy: in situ 15N pulse labelling NMR spectroscopy with photoautotrophic microorganisms

For studying the nitrogen metabolism in plants ¹⁵N NMR spectroscopy can be used. For in vivo ¹⁵N NMR (natural abundance of ¹⁵N: 0.37%) enrichment of the sample with the isotope ¹⁵N is compulsory. The detection of time courses of ¹⁵N assimilation from cells, which are enriched in culture is restricted in scope. Here, a method, the ¹⁵N pulse labelling NMR spectroscopy, is demonstrated, which permits labelling of different nitrogen compounds in photoautotrophic microorganisms during the NMR spectroscopic measurement. Using an effective illumination system it is possible to maintain photosynthesis in plant samples of high biomass densities in the magnet necessary for ammonia assimilation. The technique thus enables to directly observe ammonia assimilation pathways by application of a ¹⁵NO₃ ^? or ¹⁵NH₄ ^? pulses.

Für das Studium des Stickstoffstoffwechsels der Pflanzen kann die ¹⁵N-NMR-Spektroskopie herangezogen werden. Hierzu ist bei der in-vivo-¹⁵N-NMR (natürliche Häufigkeit von ¹⁵N: 0.37%) eine Anreicherung der Probe mit dem Isotop ¹⁵N unerläßlich. Eine Verfolgung der ¹⁵N-Assimilationskinetik mit Zellen, die in der Kultur angereichert wurden, ist jedoch nur bedingt möglich. In dieser Arbeit wird die ¹⁵N-Pulsmarkierungs-NMR-Spektroskopie als eine Methode vorgestellt, die es erlaubt, eine Markierung von Stickstoffverbindungen in photoautotrophen einzelligen Mikroorganismen während der NMR-Messung im Magneten vorzunehmen. Es wird ein spezielles Beleuchtungssystem verwendet, das eine für die Stickstoffassimilation ausreichende Photosyntheseleistung der Zellen unter NMR-Bedingungen bei hoher Biomassedichte ermöglicht. Diese Technik erlaubt durch die Applikation eines ¹⁵NO₃ ^?-oder ¹⁵NH₄ ⁺-Pulses eine direkte Verfolgung von Ammonium-Assimilationswegen.     

Experimental plant for simultaneous production of 14N and 15N by 15N/14N exchange in NO,NO2–HNO3 system under pressure

An experimental study on ¹⁴N and ¹⁵N simultaneous separation using the chemical exchange in NO, NO₂–HNO₃ system under pressure is presented. The influence of the pressure and of the interstage 10 M HNO₃ flow rate on the separation of ¹⁴N and ¹⁵N was measured on a packed column with product and waste refluxers. At steady state and 1.8 atm (absolute), the isotopic concentration at the bottom of the separation column was 0.563 at% ¹⁵N, and in the top of the column was 0.159 at% ¹⁵N. The height equivalent to a theoretical plate and interstage 10 M HNO₃ flow rate values, obtained in these experimental conditions, allows the separation of ¹⁴N highly depleted of ¹⁵N and of ¹⁵N at 99 at% ¹⁵N concentration.     

Natural abundances of 15N and 13C in leaves of some N2-fixing and non-N2-fixing trees and shrubs in Syria

A survey study was conducted on man-made plantations located at two different areas in the arid region of Syria to determine the variations in natural abundances of the ¹⁵N and ¹³C isotopes in leaves of several woody legume and non-legume species, and to better understand the consequence of such variations on nitrogen fixation and carbon assimilation. In the first study area (non-saline soil), the δ¹⁵N values in four legume species (Acacia cyanophylla,?1.73 ‰ Acacia farnesiana,?0.55 ‰ Prosopis juliflora,?1.64 ‰; and Medicago arborea,+1.6 \textperthousand) and one actinorhizal plant (Elaeagnus angustifolia,?0.46 to?2.1 ‰) were found to be close to that of the atmospheric value pointing to a major contribution of N₂ fixing in these species; whereas, δ¹⁵N values of the non-fixing plant species were highly positive. δ¹³C ‰; in leaves of the C3 plants were found to be affected by plant species, ranging from a minimum of?28.67 ‰; to a maximum of?23 ‰. However, they were relatively similar within each plant species although they were grown at different sites. In the second study area (salt affected soil), a higher carbon discrimination value (Δ¹³C ‰) was exhibited by P. juliflora, indicating that the latter is a salt tolerant species; however, its δ¹⁵N was highly positive (+7.03 ‰) suggesting a negligible contribution of the fixed N₂. Hence, it was concluded that the enhancement of N₂ fixation might be achieved by selection of salt-tolerant Rhizobium strains.     

Impact of diazotrophy on N stable isotope signatures of nitrate and particulate organic nitrogen: case studies in the north-eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean

During two independent cruises in the north-eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean, we applied two different approaches to investigate the impact of diazotrophy on nitrogen stable isotope signatures in nitrate and particulate organic nitrogen (PON) of the food-web constituents. The first approach, used during the Poseidon cruise 348 in the Mauritanian upwelling, investigated the long-term influence of diazotrophy on the natural abundance of δ¹⁵N-NO^? ₃ and PON. The second approach, adopted during the Cape Verde field cruise, applied stable isotope tracer addition experiments. These served to determine the instantaneous transfer of diazotrophic N to the higher trophic level. Both approaches showed that N₂ fixation was compatible with the pattern and the magnitude of the isotopic depletion of dissolved NO^? ₃ during the Mauritanian upwelling cruise, as well as PON in zooplankton and phytoplankton during the Cape Verde cruises. An N-budget using ¹⁵N incorporation rates and diazotrophic N₂ fixation rates showed that 6 % of the daily N₂ fixation was potentially taken up by the mesozooplankton community. Direct grazing accounted for 56 % of gross mesozooplanktonic N incorporation, while 46 % occurred due to channelling through the microbial loop.     

Ground state rotational spectrum of nitrogen trifluoride: The K = 3 splittings of NF3 and NF3

The ground state rotational spectrum of the ¹⁴NF₃ and ¹⁵NF₃ isotopic species of nitrogen fluoride has been observed in the ∼450-810 GHz frequency range. This investigation allowed us to improve the rotational parameters for both isotopologues. In particular, for the first time the K = 3 line splitting parameter and the sextic centrifugal distortion constants have been determined for ¹⁵NF₃.     

The use of stable isotopes in ecosystem research. First results of a field study with 15N

Terrestrial ecosystems, e.g. forest ecosystems, are characterized by a complex and sensitive network of biotic and abiotic factors and their interactions. By using stable isotopes (e.g. labelled nitrogen compounds), very small addition rates of highly enriched compounds can be applied, which do not change or disturb the investigated system, but provide information about single processes, their interactions and especially about their dynamics.

First results of a field study in the Fichtelgebirge, Northeast-Bavaria, Germany, are presented. The distribution of labelled nitrogen (as ¹⁵N-NH₄ ⁺ and ¹⁵N[sbnd]NO₃ ^?) within a spruce ecosystem (Picea abies (L.) Karst. in competition with understory vegetation of Vaccinium myrtillus, Calluna vulgaris and Deschampsia flexuosa) showed maximum ¹⁵N concentrations in tissues of the understory vegetation. During the first six weeks after the ¹⁵N application, the nitrogen uptake of all investigated species was higher after the ¹⁵N[sbnd]NO₃ ^? treatment than after the ¹⁵N[sbnd]NH₄ ⁺ treatment.     

The Measurement of Muscle Protein Synthesis in Broilers with a Flooding Dose Technique: Use of 15N-Labelled Phenylalanine,GC-MS and GC-C-IRMS

Abstract

An experiment was carried out to measure fractional muscle protein synthesis rates (k _s ) in broilers with injection of a flooding dose of phenylalanine (1 ml/100 g body weight of 150 mM phenylalanine; 38 atom percent excess (APE) [¹⁵N]phenylalanine). K _s was calculated from the [¹⁵N] enrichment in phenylalanine of tissue-free and protein-bound phenylalanine using both gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography combustion isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC-C-IRMS) for measurements after a 10 min isotope incorporation period.

The tertiary-butyldimethylsilyl (t-BDMS) derivatives of phenylalanine were used for gas chromatographic separation in both systems. GC-MS and GC-C-IRMS were calibrated for a range of 7 to 37 [¹⁵N]APE and 0 to 0.62 [¹⁵N]APE, respectively, and for sample sizes of 0.45 to 4.5 nmol phenylalanine and 7 to 40 nmol phenylalanine, respectively. Reproducibility of standards as a measure of precision varied from 0.06 to 0.29 [¹⁵N]APE and from 0.0004 to 0.0018 [¹⁵N]APE in GC-MS and GC-C-IRMS, respectively.

K _s was measured in the m. pectoralis major of broilers fed rye based diets (56%) which were provided either unsupplemented (-) or supplemented (+) with an enzyme preparation containing xylanase. K _s in breast muscles was significantly increased from 21.8%/d to 23.9%/d due to enzyme supplementation.

It can be concluded from the study that the measurement of protein synthesis in broilers with the flooding dose technique can be carried out by using [¹⁵N]phenylalanine, GC-MS and GC-C-IRMS.     

SrB4O7:Sm2+: an optical sensor reflecting non-hydrostatic pressure at high-temperature and/or high pressure in a diamond anvil cell

A systematic investigation on the fluorescent spectra of SrB₄O₇:Sm²⁺ was performed in detail at high-temperature up to 623?K and/or high pressure up to 23.2?GPa with different pressure-transmitting media (PTMs), respectively. Combined with experiment data of previous research, the change of the ⁷D₀–⁵F₀ line (0–0 line) full width at half maximum (FWHM) of SrB₄O₇:Sm²⁺ under different pressure environments was specifically discussed. The results indicate that the FWHM of 0–0 line is sensitive to the non-hydrostatic pressure environment in 2-propanol, and methanol and ethanol mixture (ME) PTMs at ambient temperature. The first-order and the second-order derivation of the temperature dependence of 0–0 line FWHM at ambient pressure are 1.48(±0.21)?×?10^?4?nm/K and 9.63(±0.63)?×?10^?7?nm²/K² below 623?K. The 0–0 line FWHM is also sensitive to the non-hydrostatic pressure environment in ME at high-temperature and high pressure simultaneous, the non-hydrostatic transition pressures are 9.6?GPa at 323?K, 11.0?GPa at 373?K, 14.4?GPa at 423?K, respectively. SrB₄O₇:Sm²⁺ is recommended as an optical sensor to reflect the change of pressure environment in liquid media at high-temperature and/or high pressure.     

Synthesis and luminescent properties of Y6W2O15:Eu phosphors

In this paper, a novel phosphor, Y₆W₂O₁₅:Eu³⁺ was synthesized by thermal decomposition and phase transition of its decatungstate gel precursor. With stepwise increase of temperature to 750 °C, a crystalline phase of Y₆W₂O₁₅:Eu³⁺forms that gives intense red emission when excited at 466 nm, the emission is attributed to the Eu³⁺ ions transitions from ⁵D₀ excited states to ⁷F_J (J=0-4) ground states. The long excitation wavelength proves the Eu³⁺ transition follows the photoexcitation of the oxygen-metal (O→W lmct) charge transfer bands in yttrium tungstate. Some structural information regarding Y₆W₂O₁₅ provided by luminescence is in accord with that characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The long-wavelength excitation properties of this material may find application in the production of red phosphors for white light-emitting diodes (LEDs).     

Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope discrimination and turnover in a small-bodied insectivorous lizard

Laboratory experiments are useful for estimating the carbon and nitrogen isotope discrimination factors and turnover rates that are critical for drawing field-based inferences on consumer diets using stable isotopes. Although the utility of these discrimination factors is widely recognized, work in terrestrial systems has largely been limited to studies involving mammals and birds. In contrast, scant attention has been paid to the application of isotopic techniques to reptiles, despite their broad diversity in terms of numbers of species as well as their trophic roles. Here we estimate carbon and nitrogen isotope discrimination factors and turnover for the tree lizard (Urosaurus ornatus) using a diet-switch experiment. Lizards were collected from a C₄-dominated grassland and then switched to C₃-based diet (crickets) in the laboratory. We estimated discrimination by lizard claw tissue as Δ¹³C?=?1.2?±?0.1?‰ for carbon and Δ¹⁵N?=?0.7?±?0.1?‰ (mean?±?1 SE) for nitrogen, with 95?% turnover occurring after ～15.5 days. These estimates should be appropriate for use in trophic studies of U. ornatus, and possibly other related small-bodied insectivorous lizards.     

Using the natural 15N abundance to assess the main nitrogen inputs into the sand dune area of the North-Western Negev desert (ISRAEL)

The variation of the natural ¹⁵N abundance is often used to evaluate the origin of nitrogen or the pathways of N input into ecosystems. We tried to use this approach to assess the main input pathways of nitrogen into the sand dune area of the north-western Negev Desert (Israel). The following two pathways are the main sources for nitrogen input into the system:

1. Biological fixation of atmospheric nitrogen by cyanobacteria present in biological crusts and by N₂-fixing vascular plants (e.g. the shrub Retama raetam);

2. Atmospheric input of nitrogen by wet deposition with rainfall, dry deposition of dust containing N compounds, and gaseous deposition.

Samples were taken from selected environmental compartments such as biological crusts, sand underneath these crusts (down to a depth of 90?cm), N₂-fixing and non-N₂-fixing plants, atmospheric bulk deposition as well as soil from arable land north of the sandy area in three field campaigns in March 1998, 1999 and 2000. The δ¹⁵N values measured were in the following ranges: grass ?2.5‰ to +1.5‰; R. reatam: +0.5‰ to +4.5‰; non-N₂-fixing shrubs +1‰ to +7‰; sand beneath the biological crusts +4‰ to +20‰ (soil depth 2–90?cm); and arable land to the north up to 10‰. Thus, the natural ¹⁵N abundance of the different N pools varies significantly. Accordingly, it should be feasible to assess different input pathways from the various ¹⁵N abundances of nitrogen. For example, the biological N fixation rates of the Fabaceae shrub R. reatam from the ¹⁵N abundances measured were calculated to be 46–86% of biomass N derived from the atmosphere. The biological crusts themselves generally show slight negative ¹⁵N values (?3‰ to ?0.5‰), which can be explained by biological N fixation. However, areas with a high share of lichens, which are unable to fix atmospheric nitrogen, show very negative values down to ?10‰. The atmospheric N bulk deposition, which amounts to 1.9–3.8?kg?N/ha?yr, has a ¹⁵N abundance between 4.4‰ and 11.6‰ and is likely to be caused by dust from the arable land to the north. Thus, it cannot be responsible for the very negative values of lichens measured either. There must be an additional N input from the atmosphere with negative δ¹⁵N values, e.g. gaseous N forms (NO _x , NH₃). To explain these conflicting findings, detailed information is still needed on the wet, particulate and gaseous atmospheric deposition of nitrogen.     

Luminescence properties of cerium-doped di-strontium magnesium di-silicate phosphor by the solid-state reaction method

A series of Sr₂MgSi₂O₇:xCe³⁺ (x?=?1.0%, 2.0%, 3.0%, 4.0% and 5.0%) phosphors were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. The phosphor with optimum thermoluminescence, photoluminescence and mechanoluminescence (ML) intensity was characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared techniques. The trapping parameters (i.e. activation energy, frequency factor and order of the kinetics) of each synthesized phosphor have been calculated using the peak shape method and the results have been discussed. Under ultraviolet excitation (325?nm), Sr₂MgSi₂O₇:xCe³⁺ phosphors were composed of a broad band peaking at 385?nm, belonging to the broad emission band which emits violet-blue color. Commission International de I’Eclairage coordinates have been calculated for each sample and their overall emission is near violet-blue light. In order to investigate the suitability of the samples for industrial uses, color purity and color rendering index were calculated. An ML intensity of optimum [Sr₂MgSi₂O₇:Ce³⁺ (3.0%)] phosphor increases linearly with increasing impact velocity of the moving piston which suggests that these phosphors can be used as fracto-ML-based devices. The time of the peak ML intensity and the decay rate did not change significantly with respect to increasing impact velocity of the moving piston.     

Effect of oxalate test dose size on absolute and percent oxalate absorption

The purpose of this pilot study was to establish the dependence or independence of oxalate absorption on the quantity of the test dose of sodium oxalate over a range of test doses corresponding to physiological dietary oxalate intake values. Gastrointestinal oxalate absorption was measured with the [¹³C₂]oxalate absorption test. Six healthy volunteers were always tested under standardized dietary conditions with 63 mg dietary oxalate and 800 mg dietary calcium per day. The volunteers were tested thrice each with sodium oxalate test doses of 25, 50, 200, and 600 mg. Additionally, 1000 mg sodium oxalate was applied once to three of these volunteers. The oxalate absorption of the six volunteers tested under the standardized conditions with 50 mg sodium [¹³C₂]oxalate was 7.2 ± 2.62 % (mean ± SD), similar to the 120 volunteers tested previously: 8.0 ± 4.4 % (mean ± SD). The tests with sodium [¹³C₂]oxalate doses in the range 25–1000 mg revealed similar percent oxalate absorption values. In conclusion, in healthy volunteers, the amount of oxalate absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract increased proportionally with the higher test doses of oxalate. However, percent oxalate absorption remained unchanged with test doses in the dose range of physiological dietary oxalate intakes.     

Solid-state NMR investigations of Si-29 and N-15 enriched silicon nitride

We compare ²⁹Si magic-angle spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra from the two modifications of silicon nitride, α-Si₃N₄ and β-Si₃N₄, with that of a fully (²⁹Si, ¹⁵N)-enriched sample ²⁹Si₃¹⁵N₄, as well as ¹⁵N NMR spectra of Si₃¹⁵N₄ (having ²⁹Si at natural abundance) and ²⁹Si₃¹⁵N₄. We show that the ¹⁵N NMR peak-widths from the latter are dominated by J(²⁹Si–¹⁵N) through-bond interactions, leading to significantly broader NMR signals compared to those of Si₃¹⁵N₄. By fitting calculated ²⁹Si NMR spectra to experimental ones, we obtained an estimated coupling constant J(²⁹Si–¹⁵N) of 20 Hz. We provide ²⁹Si spin-lattice (T₁) relaxation data for the ²⁹Si₃¹⁵N₄ sample and chemical shift anisotropy results for the ²⁹Si site of β-Si₃N₄. Various factors potentially contributing to the ²⁹Si and ¹⁵N NMR peak-widths of the various silicon nitride specimens are discussed. We also provide powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and mass spectrometry data of the samples.     

NQR, NMR and Crystal Structure Studies of [C(NH2)3]3Sb2Br9

The crystal structure of [C(NH₂)₃]₃Sb₂Br₉ was determined at 143 K: monoclinic, space group C2/c, Z = 4, a = 15.695 (3), b = 9.039(2), c = 18.364(3) Å, β = 96.94(1)°. The structure consists of two crystallographically independent guanidinium ions and two-dimensional corrugated sheets of (Sb₂Br₉ ^3?) _n , in which SbBr₆ octahedra are connected through three bridging Br atoms each other. One of the cations situates in a cavity of the (Sb₂Br₉ ^3?) _n layer with statistical disorder, while the other situates between the layers without disorder. Three ⁸¹Br NQR resonance lines were assignable to terminal Br atoms, while only one line was found for two inequivalent bridging Br atoms. All the ⁸¹Br NQR resonance lines were subjected to fade-out at low temperatures. The temperature dependence curve of ¹H NMR T ₁ showed well defined two minima, which were explained by postulating the C₃ reorientations of two types of cations with very different activation energies. The DTA (DSC) measurement revealed a phase transition of a first-order type at 444 K.

980 nm激发下Er3+/Yb3+共掺杂ZrO2-Al2O3粉末的上转换发光特性

通过固相反应法制备了Er³⁺/Yb³⁺共掺杂ZrO₂-Al₂O₃粉末的样品，并对样品在980nm激光激发下的上转换发光特性进行了研究.从发射光谱可以发现，在可见光范围内有3个强的发光带，一个位于654nm附近的红光带和两个分别位于545nm、525nm附近的绿光带，分别对应于Er³⁺离子的以下辐射跃迁：⁴F_9/2→⁴I_15/2、⁴S_3/2→⁴I_15/2、 ²H_11/2→⁴I_15/2.其中又以Er³⁺离子的⁴F_9/2→⁴I_15/2跃迁产生的红色荧光辐射最强.对其上转换发光机制进行了分析，发现这三个发光过程都是双光子过程.对样品粉末进行了XRD检测，发现ZrO₂主要以立方相为主，并且计算得到了这种立方结构的晶格常数.Al₂O₃固溶于ZrO₂中，Al³⁺嵌入ZrO₂后产生氧空位，导致ZrO₂晶体的对称性降低，这种结构变化更有利于提高上转换效率，即上转换发光强度增强. 关键词： 3+/Yb³⁺')" href="#">Er³⁺/Yb³⁺ 上转换 2-Al₂O₃')" href="#">ZrO₂-Al₂O₃ 荧光 稀土
