To test the hypothesis, fatty acids of Panax species, including Panax ginseng, Panax notoginseng and Panax quinquefolius, were characterized and compared using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) followed by multivariate statistical analysis.
Five extraction techniques, i.e., accelerated solvent extraction (ASE), ball mill extraction, ultrasonication, rinsing, and shaking, were quantitatively compared using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
The red/ox kinetics have been compared using a series of reducing gases (i-C4H10, C3H8, C2H6, C2H4, CH4 and H2).
MDA, IMA, and blood gas analysis were compared using Student's t-test between two groups.
Continuous variables, including hemodynamics, blood gases, respiratory parameters and cytokines level, were compared using repeated measures ANOVA.
The breath samples were characterised in a dual approach, using two totally independent, complementary characterisation methods: (i) chemical analysis of the breath samples with the aim to identify the VOCs that show statistically different concentrations in the compared subpopulations, using gas-chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
Families using "firewood or straw" live in a poorer environment compared to those using "gas or electricity".
Similarly, living in homes that were using charcoal as fuel source increased odds of U5M by 166% compared to those using gas.
Compared to mothers using gas as cooking fuel, significant reductions in birth weight were observed for mothers using coal (weight difference = 73.31 g, 95 % CI: 26.86, 119.77) and biomass (weight difference = 87.84 g, 95 % CI: 10.76, 164.46).
We evaluated the FA content of this strain, compared to WT, using gas chromatography (GC), under different conditions of nutrition [rich medium (YPG) and poor medium (YNB, low or high C/N)].
Contrary to expectation, the likelihood of U5M in children living in homes where kerosene and charcoal were sources of energy reduced by 48%and72%2% respectively compared to those using gas.
