The alcohol dehydrogenase isoenzyme alcohol dehydrogenase IV as a candidate marker of Helicobacter pylori infection
INTRODUCTION Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with decreased alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity in the gastric mucosa. The decrease in gastric ADH activity depends on the severity of inflammation and mucosal injury. This damage can be a reason of the release of enzyme from gastric mucosa and leads to the increase of the ADH activity in the sera of patients with H. pylori infection....
متن کاملKinetic studies of liver alcohol dehydrogenase.
1. NADH2 prepared by enzymic reduction of pure NAD by the method of Rafter & Colowick (1957), and isolated as the sodium salt, gives higher maxrimum rates of reduction of acetaldehyde with liver alcohol dehydrogenase at pH 6 than a number of commercial preparations of high purity. Maximum values of 2-4 for the extinction ratio E260/E340 and 2% for the proportion of inactive material absorbing a...
متن کاملHistological distribution of class III alcohol dehydrogenase in human brain.
The distributions of class III alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), a glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase, and class I ADH in the human brain were examined immunohistochemically. The most intense immunostaining of class III ADH was observed in the dendrites and cytoplasm of cerebellar Purkinje cells. Scattered cerebral cortical neurons in layers IV and V, and some hippocampal pyramidal neu...
متن کاملKinetic mechanism of chicken liver xanthine dehydrogenase.
The kinetic behaviour of chicken-liver xanthine dehydrogenase (xanthine/NAD+ oxidoreductase; EC 1.2.1.37) has been studied. Steady-state results, obtained from a wide range of concentrations of substrates and products, were fitted by rational functions of degree 1:1, 1:2, 2:2 and 3:3 with respect to substrates, and 0:1, 1:1, 0:2 and 1:2 with regard to products, using a non-linear regression pro...
متن کاملIn Vitro Inhibition Studies of Human Class II Alcohol Dehydrogenase
Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is an enzyme in the human body that processes the alcohol concentration in the blood. Alcohol dehydrogenase is a dimer which means it’s a molecule that consists of two parts which are called monomers. There are seven different dehydrogenases. ADH can be found in many organisms and it facilitates the oxidisation of alcohols to aldehydes or ketones and at the same time...
