Two bio salt minerals, potassium sulphate, sodium sulphate and a mixture of both bio salts at the effective concentration of 1% which were added to the mulberry leaves of silkworm B. mori L., to evaluate their effect on the differential haemocyte counts (DHC) and absolute differential haemocyte counts (ADHC). Daily changes of five haemocyte types were investigated as, prohaemocytes, plasmatocyt...

The purification and properties of a hyaluronate lyase secreted by Streptococcus agalactiae, which is believed to facilitate the invasion of host tissues by the organism, have been described previously [Pritchard, Lin, Willingham and Baker (1994) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 315, 431-436]. The specificity of the limited cleavage of chondroitin sulphate by the enzyme is the subject of this report. To...

Two simple, accurate and precise methods are described for the determination of propranolol hydrochloride with cerium(IV) sulphate. The titrimetric method is based on the oxidation of the drug by a known excess amount of cerium(IV) sulphate and back titration of the unconsumed oxidant with ammonium ferrous sulphate. In the spectrophotometric method, the unreacted cerium(IV) sulphate is treated ...

natural organic wastes contain considerable amounts of nutritional elements. the availability and uptake of nutrient elements in soil) especially in alkali and calcareous soils) increase due to high content of organic matter, and reduce the micro-elements deficiencies. organic wastes have pathogenic contaminations that come from waste type and transmitted by microorganisms such as bacteria, fun...

The SLC51 organic solute transporter family of transporters is a pair heterodimeric proteins which regulate bile salt movements in the small intestine, duct, and liver, as part enterohepatic circulation [2, 5, 1]. OSTα/OSTβ also expressed steroidogenic cells brain adrenal gland, where it may contribute to steroid sulphate movement [6]. Bile acid transport suggested be facilitative independent s...

BACKGROUND Interstital cystitis is often treated with exogenous glycosaminoglycans such as heparin, chondroitin sulphate (Uracyst), hyaluronate (Cystistat) or the semi-synthetic pentosan polysulphate (Elmiron). The mechanism of action is presumed to be due to a coating of the bladder surface to replace the normally present chondroitin sulphate and heparan sulphate lost as a result of the diseas...

Successful long-term bioremediation of mining-influenced water using complex organic matter and naturally-occurring microorganisms in sub-surface flow constructed wetlands requires a balance between easily and more slowly degrading material. This can be achieved by combining different types of organic materials. To provide guidance on what mixture combinations to use, information is needed on h...

BACKGROUND It is well documented that exercise reduces the risk of thromboembolic disease, possibly by increasing the plasma concentration of anticoagulant-antithrombotic compounds. OBJECTIVES As plasma glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) play a role in the anticoagulant-antithrombotic potential of plasma, to examine the concentration and profile of these compounds in well trained, long distance runner...

The chemistry of several calcium sulphate systems was successfully modelled in multi-component acid-containing sulphate solutions using he mixed solvent electrolyte (MSE) model for calculating the mean activity coefficients of the electrolyte species. The modelling involved the tting of binary mean activity, heat capacity and solubility data, as well as ternary solubility data. The developed mo...
