abstract

abstract digestive enzyme inhibitors are proteinacious or nonproteinacious compounds which reduce an enzyme activity through attaching to its active site and/or its substrate. nowadays, plant enzyme inhibitors are of great importance because 1) these have considerable effects on insect digestive enzymes and as a result on their development; and 2) the transgenic plants expressing them are safe. in this study, the effects of nacl, ethylenediamine tetraacetate disodium dehydrate (edta), tris, sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds) and an alpha-amylase inhibitor derived from wheat kernels (waai) on alpha-amylase activity of adults of the stripped bug graphosoma lineatum (l.) during 60 minutes incubation was studied. distilled water was considered as the control. the results showed that the effects of the inhibitor type on adult alpha-amylase activity was significant (p<0.01). in general, enzyme activities in nacl, edta and tris were the highest (nearly 54% of the control) and there was not significant differences between them. enzyme activities in sds (nearly 31% of the control) and in waai (nearly 12.5% of the control) showed significant differences to each other and also to 3 previously mentioned compounds. at low concentrations of nacl, edta, tris and sds (1 and 2 mm) and at the beginning of incubation period, female alpha-amylase activity was greater than that of the males which shows that the female enzyme has had more resistance against the inhibitors.

Influence of Cigarette Smoking on the Activity of Salivary Alpha-Amylase

Introduction: Tobacco smoke is involved in the pathogenesis of several diseases in different body systems. Saliva is the first body fluid that confront inhaled cigarette smoke which is injurious to the oral cavity and is associated with several oral diseases and cancer. The aim of our study was to evaluate the influence of smoking on the activity of alpha-amylase in the saliva of healthy smoker...

The Relationship Between Salivary Alpha Amylase Activity and Score of McGill Pain Questionnaire in Patients With Tension Type Headache

Introduction: Tension-type headache is the most common type of headache across the world. Saliva as a non-invasive medium is used to detect a wide range of diseases. Salivary Alpha-Amylase (SAA) levels has been suggested as a potential indirect marker for detecting Sympathoadrenal Medullary (SAM) activity, which is activated by pain. Significant correlation was found between SAA levels and pain...

Hypoglycemic activity of Pyrus biossieriana Buhse leaf extract and arbutin: Inhibitory effects on alpha amylase and alpha glucosidase

Background: The mechanism of hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activities of Pyrus biossieriana Buhse leaf extract (PbBLE) and its phytochemical component arbutin, have not been well determined. The present study was performed to understand the hypoglycemic activity mechanisms of pbBLE and arbutin more clearly.Methods: In vitro enzymatic carbohydrate digestion with PbBLE and arbutin was assessed u...
