Abstract

This research is intended to learn inhibition efficiency of mild steel corrosion in peat water using two type ofchitosan. First chitosan is without treatment and the second one is synthesized by ionotropic gelation method andthen is characterized by Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).Diameter of chitosan porous is about 500 nm which is measured based on morphological photo using SEM withinhomogeneous porous shape and porous distribution is unsmooth . Effect of chitin and chitosan on the corrosionof mild steel in peat water is studied using weight loss method. It is found that corrosion inhibition efficiencydepends on peat water pH, inhibition technique and interaction time. The results show that inhibition efficiency ofchitosan without treatment and with treatment are 88.73% and 93.32% respectively. The inhibition is assumed tooccur via physicsorption of the chitin and chitosan molecules on the metal surface. The Langmuir adsorptionisotherm is tested for their fit to the experimental data.

Abstract

The effect of obesity on vascular function is mediated by hormon leptin. Leptin has been proved to increaseoxidative stress in endothelial cell. The previous study has proven that leptin caused the endothelial dysfunction asa step of the atherogenesis. Lycopene, an antioxidant, is presumed having the ability to block the atherogenesismechanism, which is stimulated a proinflamatory cytokine and adhesion molecules by MAPK and transcriptionfactor ET-1. Therefore, the aim of this research was to prove and to determine whether lycopene could decreasethe MAPK and ET-1 expression in Human Umbillical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) culture induced by 500 ng/mlleptin. In vitro study used primary culture of the HUVECs were devided in to 7 groups, there were (1) 0 ng/ml leptinand 0 ìM lycopene, (2) induced by 500 ng/ml leptin for 12 hours, (3) induced by leptin and lycopene with concentration10; 25; 40; 55 and 75 ìM for 12 hours. Then the identification of MAPK was applied by using imunocytochemistrycompared with ELISA procedure on cell endothel culture lysate and ET-1 expression was measured by using RTPCR. It was showed that lycopene 10-25 ìM decreased MAPK and ET-1 expression significantly in HUVECs cultureinduced by leptin 500 ng/ml. Leptin was increased ERK1/2 MAPK and ET-1 expression in HUVECs culture and candecrease by lycopene. Optimum dose of lycopene is 10-25 ìM.

Abstract

The need of â-glucan is increasing in food, medicine and cosmetic industry, because it becomes anticancer,antitumor and antiaging, increases immunosystem, and decreases cholesterol content in blood. The cell walls ofS. cerevisiae contain 80-90% polysaccharides that posses â-glucan. This research was aimed to obtain appropriatecarbon sources to increase the production of â-glucan. The carbon sources used were glucose, glucose commercial,sucrose and molases. The fermentation process was done by using air lift fermentor. The steps of fermentatonincluded regeneration of S. cerevisiae strain, preculture, fermentor preparation and running fermentor for 84hours. Sampling of S. cerevisiae culture was determined the cell growth by optical density (OD) usingspectrophotometer UV/VIS at ë 550 nm. The protein content was determined by Lowry method at ë 755 nm and thetotal glucose was measured by phenol sulphate method at ë 490 nm. The measurement result of cell growthshowed that the high intensity of S. cerevisiae in medium contain molases, but it did not show significant effectwhen compare to other carbon sources. The protein and carbohydrate contain in medium tended to decrease. Theresult of â-glucan on glucose, sucrose, glucose commercial and molases were 933,3, 1100, 1000, and966,7 mg/l. It can be concluded that sucrose and glucose commercial can replace the glucose to produce of â-glucan, because they are cheaper and easier to get. Beside that, molases can be used as an alternative carbonsource because it can produce of â-glucan as well as glucose.
