In wheat germ

Previously, it has been reported that the amounts of eukaryotic initiation factors in wheat germ extract prepared by a common method were deficient for the translation of some kinds of mRNAs including a-amylase mRNA and (i-globin mRNA [2]. Therefore, it can be expected that the activity of wheat germ extract prepared by a common method can be enhanced by the simple addition of extract containing deficient initiation factors. In this study, a wheat germ extract was further purified partially by ammonium sulfate fractionation... 

Coenzyme Q10 and vitamin E are found in wheat germ. Furthermore, studies in mice have shown that administration of coenzyme Q10 elevate the level of mitochondrial a-tocopherol (Lass et al., 1999). Beal and his colleagues (2002) investigated the potential usefulness of coenzyme Q10 in animal models of PD, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and HD. It has been demonstrated that coenzyme Q10 can protect against striatal lesions produced by the mitochondrial toxins malonate and 3-nitropropionic acid. These toxins have been utilized to model the striatal pathology, which...

Vitamin E (a-tocopherol) is most abundantly available in wheat germ oil and in small quantities in cereals, nuts, spinach, and egg yolk. Deficiency of vitamin E normally does not occur. Large doses of vitamin E are used to reduce the toxicity of vitamin A. Prolonged use causes delay in wound healing but significant... 

Solid-Lipid Nanoparticles SLNs have been used to deliver small molecules and macromolecules such as DNA and peptides. The in vitro and in vivo applications of SLNs are reviewed elsewhere [125,126]. The stability and oral bioavailability of insulin were enhanced when administered in wheat germ agglutinin-conjugated nanoparticles [127], A polyoxyethylene stearate coat on the SLN confers stealth properties [128],...
