Abstract:
The dual separation in gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry generates complex multi-dimensional data, whose interpretation is a challenge. In this work, two chemometric approaches for olive oil classification are compared to get the most robust model over time: i) an non-targeted fingerprinting analysis, in which the overall GC-IMS data was processed and ii) a targeted approach based on peak-region features (markers). A total of 701 olive samples from two harvests (2014-2015 and 2015-2016) were analysed and processed by both approaches. The models built with data samples of 2014-2015 showed that both approaches were suitable for samples classification (success >74%). However, when these models were applied for classifying samples from 2015-2016, better values were obtained using markers. The combination of data from the two harvests to build the chemometric models improved the percentages of success (>90%). These results confirm the potential of GC-IMS based approaches for olive oil classification.

Targets for Drug Action: Overview
Receptors are either membrane-spanning or intracellular proteins, which upon binding a ligand, get activated and transmit the signal downstream to elicit a response. Drugs bind receptors, either mimicking the action of endogenous ligands or blocking the receptor activity to bring about a modified response. Nearly 35% of approved drugs target the G...
Target Cell Response to Hormones
Notably, the cellular response can be regulated by altering the number of receptors expressed in the cell. For example, prolonged exposure to elevated hormone levels results in a gradual decline or down-regulation in the number of receptors for that specific hormone on the cell surface. Conversely, in response to low hormone levels, cells may use up-regulation, producing an...
