Antioxidant properties of a novel phycocyanin extract from the blue-green alga Aphanizomenon flos-aquae.
Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) is a fresh water unicellular blue-green alga (cyanophyta) rich in phycocyanin (PC), a photosynthetic pigment with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of a novel natural extract from AFA enriched with PC to protect normal human erythrocytes and plasma samples against oxidative damage in vitro. In red b...
متن کاملGeneralised uridine diphosphate galactose-4-epimerase deficiency.
The generalised form of epimerase deficiency galactosaemia has been described in only two children from unrelated families. Their progress is reported and three other affected children from these families are described. The initial presentation was similar to classic galactosaemia. Despite treatment all have shown poor growth and moderate learning difficulties. Three have sensorineural deafness...
متن کاملSome Respiratory Characteristics of the Blue-Green Alga, Anabaena.
In recent years there has been a considerable increase in our knowledge of the respiratory metabolism in higher plants. The lower plants, however, have received little attention. This is particularly true of the blue-green algae where the amount of available information on their respiration is almost negligible. The only known investigation has been that of EMERSON (1) who reported that respira...
متن کاملToxicology and pharmacological action of anabaena flos-aquae toxin.
Calves, rats, ducks, and goldfish given lethal oral doses of bacteria-free lyophilized cell suspensions of toxic Anabaena flos-aquae died as a result of respiratory arrest. Experiments with selected animals and pharmacological preparations showed that the main effect of the toxin was production of a sustained postsynaptic depolarizing neuromuscular blockade.
متن کاملToxicity of Seven Herbicides to the Three Cyanobacteria Anabaena flos-aquae, Microcystis flos-aquae and Mirocystis aeruginosa
The toxicity of 7 herbicides to the three cyanobacteria was tested in this work. The results indicated that: (1) There was a highly significant relationship between dried weight or chlorophyll-a and OD680nm for tested cyanobacteria; (2) the toxicity of the tested herbicides with the order from high to low was: photosynthesis-inhibiting > ACCase inhibitor > protox inhibiting herbicides; (3) the ...
