Epidermal fragments enriched in guard cells (GCs) were isolated from the halophyte quinoa (Chenopodium Wild.) species, and response at proteome level was studied after salinity treatment of 300 mM NaCl for 3 weeks. In total, 2147 proteins identified, which 36% differentially expressed to stress GCs. Up downregulated included signaling molecules, enzyme modulators, transcription factors oxidored...

Monoamine oxidase B (MAO B) is present in the outer mitochondrial membrane occurring in the brain predominantly in glial cells and in serotonergic neurons [Fowler et al., 2005]. It oxidizes amines (for example dopamine) from both endogenous and exogenous sources. MAO B is selectively and irreversibly inhibited by L-deprenyl (selegiline). When the enzyme-substrate complex is formed, the rate-lim...

In Oscillatoria chalybea, as in other cyanobacteria, nitrate reduction depends directly on photosynthetic activity. Hence, nitrate reduction occurs only in the light and appears inhibited when photosynthesis is inhibited by the herbicide DCM U. Growth o f Oscillatoria cells is pos­ sible on a variety o f exogenous nitrogen sources in the medium and appears largely independ­ ent on the type of n...

Abstract The replacement of fishmeal (FM) with economical and nutritious FM alternatives including plant animal-based protein ingredients has become a global research priority. However, the presence several anti-nutritional factors (ANFs) in these may impair nutrient utilization fish. supplementation exogenous protease as feed additives could be an effective approach to improve digestibility al...

Introduction: In explant cultures of human fetal membranes (FM) granulocyte-macrophage-colony-stimulating-factor (GM-CSF) mediates the inflammation-induced FM weakening seen in preterm premature rupture (pPROM) and exogenous progesterone (P4) inhibits GM-CSF weakening. Here we report that induces P4 production within which then acts a paracrine manner to counteract GM-CSF-induced Methods: expla...

Abstract Mitochondria evolved through an ancient endosymbiotic process and are essential for eukaryotic cellular metabolism. An emerging body of literature indicates that some cells export mitochondria delivery to other cells, a termed intercellular transfer. Recently, we demonstrated adipocytes transfer macrophages in vivo this maintains white brown adipose tissue homeostasis (Brestoff et al.,...
