Positive correlation exists between glutathione S-transferase activity and aflatoxin formation in Aspergillus flavus.
The presence of glutathione (GSH) S-transferase activity, using 1-chloro-2, 4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) as a substrate, has been established in the cytosolic fraction of the toxigenic (aflatoxin producing) and nontoxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus. Significant differences in the GSH S-transferase activity were observed between the toxigenic and non-toxigenic strains. A positive correlation has...
متن کاملAssociation between gastric mucosal glutathione-S-transferase activity, glutathione-S-transferase gene polymorphisms and Helicobacter pylori infection in gastric cancer.
AIM Helicobacter pylori infection, though common, leads to gastric cancer (GC) in less than 1% individuals, suggesting the role of host factors. We previously reported the role of glutathione-S-transferase (GST) polymorphisms, the gene encoding a carcinogen-detoxifying enzyme, in GC. This study was aimed to evaluate GST enzyme activity, GST polymorphism, glutathione (GSH) levels and H. pylori i...
متن کاملPossible implications of reciprocity between ethylene and aflatoxin biogenesis in Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus.
Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus produced ethylene during early growth. However, the onset of toxin biosynthesis was marked by the absence of ethylene evolution. 2-Chloroethyl phosphonic acid, an ethylene-generating compound, inhibited aflatoxin biosynthesis in vivo. The reciprocal relationship between the production of aflatoxin and ethylene by the organism may indicate the invol...
متن کاملThe relationship between reduced glutathione level and glutathione S-transferase activity in sheep erythrocytes.
The relationship between reduced glutathione (GSH) level and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity in erythrocytes was examined, using sheep erythrocytes, which have varying GSH concentrations, and dog erythrocytes with an inherited high concentration of GSH. There was a positive correlation (r = 0.529, p < 0.001) between the GSH level and GST activity in sheep erythrocytes. In dog erythrocy...
متن کاملBiocontrol of Aspergillus Flavus and Aflatoxin B1 Production in Corn
The potent mycotoxin aflatoxin B1 is a secondary metabolite of Aspergillus fungi that grow, on a variety of food and feed commodities at any stage during growth, harvest, storage and transportation. The occurrence of aflatoxin contamination is global, with severe problems especially prevalent in developing countries. In present study, corn samples were contaminated with aflatoxin B1 in the conc...
