Nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis is a new technique that matured over the last couple of years to complement the electrophoretic techniques performed under aqueous conditions. Consequently, it extends the applicability of CE to those analytes that are insoluble or only sparsely soluble in water, including several classes of pharmaceutical compounds and long-chain fatty acids, vitamins, and surfactants, to name only a few.

VACUUM DISTILLATION. Distillation at pressure below atmospheric but not so low that it would be classed as molecular distillation. Since lowering the pressure also lowers the boiling point, vacuum distillation is useful for distilling high-boiling and heat-sensitive materials such as heavy distillates in petroleum, fatty acids, vitamins, etc. 

In the past, the fish used as food for man or farm animals was evaluated on the basis of protein and total lipid content, but nowadays the emphasis is on the biologically active substances such as polyenoic fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants. Recent problems have arisen because of contamination with sewage, mineral oil and its by-products, heavy metals and radioactive pollutants. The bizarre finding of certain Tasmanian oysters, bred downstream from a zinc smelting plant, which contained 10% of zinc on a dry weight basis is an...

Severe negative nitrogen balance may occasionally have to be corrected by hyperalimentation or total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Intravenous solutions used in TPN contain essential and nonessential amino acids, plus a source of calories in the form of fat and carbohydrate. They "spare" the administered amino acids and allow them to be used for tissue repair. The TPN fluid must also contain all other nutritional factors required for life, including essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. Severe metal and essential fatty acid deficiencies have been observed in situations in which such inclusions had not been made. 

Pyridoxal phosphate has a clear role in lipid metabolism as the coenzyme for the decarboxylation of phosphatidylserine, leading to the formation of phosphatidylethanolamine, and then phosphatidylcholine (Section 14.2.1), and membrane lipids from vitamin Bg-deficient animals are low in phosphatidylcholine (She et al., 1995). It also has a role, less well defined, in the metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids vitamin Bg deficiency results in reduced activity of A desaturase and impairs the synthesis of eicosapentanoic and docosahexanoic acids (Tsuge et al., 2000).

The basics of nonpharmacologic approaches should address issues of adequate nutrition, sleep, exercise, and stress reduction. Sleep deprivation, high stress, and deficiencies in dietary essential amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals may exacerbate mood episodes and result in poorer outcomes. Another effective treatment is to combine medications with adjunctive psychoeduca-tional programs, supportive counseling, insight-oriented psychother-... 

Pure fats consist of around 95% by mass triglyceride. The remaining 5% consists of mono and diglycerides, glycerine, some free fatty acids, vitamins dissolved in the fat, and minerals that give color and taste. Thus fats do not have a fixed melting point.

While protein is the major cellular component in exponentially growing cells, carbohydrate is the most prominent substance among the extracellular products, with protein and amino acids probably in second piace. Other important substances to mention are organic acids, sugar alcohols, lipids and fatty acids, vitamins and growth inhibiting compounds (toxins). The list could have been made much longer. 

Lipids are a broad class of nonpolar or amphiphilic molecules including fatty acids, vitamins, sterols, and waxes, among others. An amphiphilic molecule is one that has both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, meaning that some parts of the molecule interact favorably with polar groups while other parts do not.

For these reasons alone, a vitamin E symposium will not be short of problems and material for discussion. Many more unanswered questions come to light, however, when the biochemical and physiological properties of vitamin E are considered. The program of this meeting includes papers on the metabolism of vitamin E interrelations among vitamin E, metals, and ubi( uinones vitamin E and nucleic acid metabolism interrelations between vitamin E and polyunsaturated fatty acids vitamin E requirements of human infants vitamin E in health and disease of poultry, sheep, cattle, and pigs and so on. Everywhere, alongside established facts, there are unanswered questions and unsolved problems. 

Nowadays, the term vitamin is understood to mean an essential organic compound, which is not synthesised in sufficient quantities or at all in the human body (or in most animals), and has therefore to be supplied through the diet or other sources. Vitamins are defined by their biological function, but not as a chemically uniform group of substances. In contrast to energy-providing foodstuffs, they are needed in only very small amounts. By this definition, there are 13 compounds or compound families known, which constitute vitamins for humans (Tab. 7.1). [9] However, there are additional substances of value as dietary supplements and with vitamin-like properties fatty acids (Vitamin F), lipoic acid, ubiquinone, choline, myoinositol and S-adenosyhnethionine.

In animals hormones are either formed de novo from substances of primary metabolism, e.g., steroid hormones, epinephrine, tyroxin, or they are synthesized from special secondary products which have to be taken up with the diet, e.g., unsaturated fatty acids (vitamins F) which are precursors of the eicosanoids. 

Eggs provide a unique source of balanced nutrients, including protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. The protein is of such high value that it is used as a standard to measure the quality of other food proteins. 

Quality factors are discussed in the report of the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce that accompanied the 1980 Infant Formula Act. An ingredient can only be used commercially (incorporated into infant formulas for sale) after the requirements of Section 412 (e.g., nutrient requirements and quality factors) are satisfied. This means that the new ingredient must be incorporated into the formula and the formula must then be tested for each required nutrient (i.e., protein, fat, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals) under 21 U.S.C. 350a, Section 412(i). However the FD C Act also mandates that the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health of Human Services establish requirements for quality factors consistent with the scientific knowledge and states that the nutrient and nutrient level required by the Act may be revised. Under current regulations, the concept of quality factors has not been developed the requirements focus on meeting the level of specific nutrients. 

Body cells become damaged over time by attacks from molecules known as free peroxide radicals, i.e. unstable, oxygen-containing compounds which are released during metabolism of pol5mnsaturated fatty acids. Free radicals can play a role in a number of diseases by allowing harmful compounds to enter the cell through ieaky cell membranes injured by peroxidation of the membrane s polyunsaturated fatty acids. Vitamin E and other anti-oxidants trap free radicals and interrupt this chain reaction oxidative destruction.
