N-Acetyl-B-D-Glucosaminidase in Milk and Blood Plasma During Dry and Early Postpartum Periods

Is urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase a marker of urological abnormality in children?

  Abstract   Background: Hydronephrosis is the most common congenital condition that is detected   by prenatal ultrasonography. Moreover, the widespread use of prenatal ultrasonography   results in an increased recognition of fetal hydronephrosis. Prenatal hydronephrosis   is diagnosed at an incidence of 1:100 to 1:500 by ultrasonographic studies. The presence of hydronephrosis is not synonymou...

Urinary Activities of N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase and Its Isoenzyme B in Cadmium-Exposed Rats

This paper aims to assess the relationship between the urinary activity of N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) and its isoenzyme B (NAG-B) and cadmium (Cd) concentration in the urine as well as to evaluate which of these lysosomal enzymes may be a more useful biomarker for the monitoring of Cd-induced tubular damage. For this purpose we have used an experimental model in rats chronically exposed...

N-acetyl-B-D-glucosaminidase and inflammatory response after cardiopulmonary bypass.

OBJECTIVE To determine the changes in activity of plasma N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase, a marker for inflammation as well as renal, pulmonary and cardiac damage and proinflammatory cytokines in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting and find out the relationship between their plasma levels with clinical outcome of patients. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. PLACE AND DURATI...

the oxygen uptake and acetoacetate oxidation when added alone or with fumarate, but not in the presence of a-oxoglutarate. The reasons for these differences are discussed. Anaerobically, relatively slight inhibitions of the reduction of acetoacetate were observed. 6. The oxidation of L( + )-p-hydroxybutyrate is inhibited by dinitrophenol, whereas that of the D(-)-form is not. This is related to...
