background: besides acute lethal cyanide poisoning, its chronic intoxication may also produce some pathologic effects on different tissues that precedes alterations in biochemical parameters. the present study was aimed to evaluate the effects of sublethal cyanide exposure on some tissue enzyme activities in liver and kidney of rats. methods: twelve male rats were divided into two groups as fol...

objective: the entry of toxoplasma gondii into the bloodstream and other tissues (such as liver, muscle, cardiac muscle, …) of intermediate hosts and its multiplication in nucleated cells may cause changes in plasma levels of various enzymes due to tissue damage. in present study the serum levels of ast, alt, alk/p, cpk, ldh, and acp in rats infected experimentally with toxoplasma gondii have b...

background: little in known regarding the clinical relevance of sirt1 in multiple sclerosis (ms).   here, we aimed to evaluate mrna expression, protein level and enzyme activity of sirt1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmcs) isolated from relapsing –remitting ms patients (rrms) and healthy controls. materials and methods: twenty patients with rr-ms and twenty two age- and sex-matched he...

Background: The delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) is a pelagic fish species listed as endangered under both the USA Federal and Californian State Endangered Species Acts and considered an indicator of ecosystem health in its habitat range, which is limited to the SacramentoSan Joaquin estuary in California, USA. Anthropogenic contaminants are one of multiple stressors affecting this system...

in this study, the effects of dietary egg lecithin on digestive enzymes and body biochemical composition of juveniles mesopotamichthys sharpeyi was evaluated. four experimental diets including control diet (with 0% egg lecithin) and three diets containing 2%, 4% and 6% egg lecithin were used. at the end of the experiment, digestive enzymes activity (lipase, amylase and alkaline phosphatase) and...

the main purpose of this project is investigation of the organophosphorus hydrolase (oph) enzyme activity in water in oil (w/o) and oil in water (o/w) creams and investigation of the oph enzyme stability in formulated creams. oph enzyme was extracted and purified from strain flavobacterium. the w/o and o/w creams were prepared using different formulations. in order to achieve an emulsion with m...

conclusions based on this similarity and our bioinformatics evaluations, this mentioned alpha-amylase gene can be expressed in s. cerevisiae as extracellular enzyme. results the presence of alpha-amylase gene in recombinant bacteria was certificated by colony-pcr method. after extraction of recombinant vector from e. coli, the competent s. cerevisiae cells were transformed using polyethylene gl...
