چکیده

1. Liver tissue showing fatty degeneration obtained from animals poisoned with phosphorus or chloroform contains a decreased amount of esterase. 2. The serum of animals poisoned with phosphorus or chloroform has a high esterase activity. 3. The increased amount of esterase in the serum is not derived from the disintegrating liver cells as the esterase in the blood of the hepatic vein is less than that found elsewhere.

A Sensitive Neutralization Assay for Influenza C Viruses Based on the Acetylesterase Activity HEF Glycoprotein

Influenza C virus possesses specific neuraminate-O-acetylesterase as a receptor-destroying function. This enzymatic activity of the viral glycoprotein HEF (Hemagglutinin, esterase activity and fusion factor) can be visualized in situ by the use of distinct color substrates. Hereby the localization, as well as the quantity of synthesized HEF protein is detectable. We further developed the estera...

Can Viral Load Predict Liver Histology in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B?

Introduction: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global public health problem. Serum HBV DNA measurement is a non-invasive test that predicts the liver disease progression. The aim of this study was to determine the HBV DNA level and look for a relation between the HBV DNA level and liver histology. Methods: This was a cross sectional study on chronic...

Evaluation of structure of paraoxonase (PON) and its relationship with various diseases

The paraoxonase family in humans includes the PON1, PON2, and PON3 genes. These genes are located on the long arm of chromosome 7 and are structurally similar .Between the nucleotide sequences of these three genes is about 70% and between their amino acid    sequences is about 60% compatibility. The three have 9 exons, which in the case of PON1 exists an addition code in position 106 (lysine) i...

The investigation of a cholesterol esterase in rat liver.

It has been shown that cholesterol is esterified during its absorption from the gastrointestinal tract (1) and that further esterification can occur in blood serum incubated in vitro (2, 3). However, a system capable of rapidly hydrolyzing cholesterol esters has not been demonstrated. Although it has been shown that an equilibrium exists between plasma and liver cholesterol (4), the percentage ...
