ALLELE-SPECIFIC METHYLATION IN THE FADS GENOMIC REGION IN DNA FROM HUMAN SALIVA, CD4+ CELLS, AND TOTAL LEUKOCYTES

Allele-specific methylation in the FADS genomic region in DNA from human saliva, CD4+ cells, and total leukocytes

Abstract Background Genetic variants within the fatty acid desaturase (FADS) gene cluster (human Chr11) are important regulators of long-chain (LC) polyunsaturated fatty acid BIO COENZYMATED METHYLFOLATE (PUFA) biosynthesis in the liver and consequently have been associated with circulating LC-PUFA levels.More recently, epigenetic modifications suc

Composition of nitrogen in urban residential stormwater runoff: Concentrations, loads, and source characterization of nitrate and organic nitrogen.

Stormwater runoff is a leading cause of nitrogen (N) transport to water bodies and hence one means of water quality deterioration.Stormwater runoff was monitored in an urban residential catchment (drainage area: 3.89 hectares) in Florida, United States to investigate the concentrations, forms, and sources of N.Runoff samples were collected over 22
