Compared with the one immobilized in the conventional mesoporous microspheres, the enzyme immobilized in gigaporous microspheres showed much higher activity and better stability. To gain a deeper understanding, we herein selected lipase as a prototype to comparatively analyze the adsorption behavior of lipase at interfaces in gigaporous and mesoporous polystyrene microspheres at very low lipase...

Immobilization of enzymes is one of the most promising methods in enzyme performance enhancement, including stability, recovery, and reusability. However, investigation of suitable solid support in enzyme immobilization is still a scientific challenge. Polyethersulfone (PES) and aminated PES (PES–NH2) were successfully synthesized as novel materials for immobilization. Membranes with various po...

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is an adipocyte enzyme that cleaves fatty acids from circulating lipoproteins. Fatty acids enter the cell to be oxidized or esterified. Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) is an adipocyte enzyme that cleaves fatty acids from intracellular triacylglycerol. The HSL is activated by phosphorylation. Assays for the two lipases are complex because the hydrophobic substrate, triacy...

The effects of grain and carbohydrase enzyme supplementation were investigated on digestive physiology of chickens. A total of 625 one-day-old chicks (Ross 308) were randomly assigned to five treatments in a completely randomized design. Treatments included two different types of grains (wheat, and barley) with or without a multi-carbohydrase supplement. A corn-based diet was also considered to...

1. Lipoprotein lipase was separated from normal human post-heparin plasma by affinity chromatography and assayed with a 14C-labelled triolein emulsion. No enzyme activity was detected unless whole serum was included in the assay as a source of cofactor, apolipoprotein C-II. 2. After a 10 h fast, serum obtained from 46 normal subjects, eight patients with hypertriglyceridaemia but normal renal f...

Immunoprecipitations of hepatic lipase from pulselabeled rat liver have demonstrated that hepatic lipase is synthesized in two distinct molecular weight forms, HL-I (M, = 51,000) and HL-I1 (M, = 53,000). Both forms are immunologically related to purified hepatic lipase, but not to lipoprotein lipase. HL-I and HL-11 are also kinetically related and represent different stages of intracellular pro...

The influence of a pancreatic enzyme, lipase, on doxorubicin-loaded anionic liposomes, their complexes with spherical polycationic brushes, and ternary brushes bovine serum albumin has been studied. two-stage kinetics the enzyme-induced disturbance liposomal membrane integrity investigated using fluorescence spectroscopy. A 120-min induction period free any serious damage to liposome membranes ...

Pancreatic lipase plays a key role in intestinal digestion of feed fat, and is often deficient in young animals such as weaning piglets. The objective of this study was to express and characterize a partial codon optimized porcine pancreatic lipase (opPPL). A 537 bp cDNA fragment encoding N-terminus amino acid residue of the mature porcine pancreatic lipase was synthesized according to the codo...

A multi-phase lipid particle, a novel iron carrier, was prepared using mixture of wax (derived from rice bran) and coconut oil. high shear homogenization method employed for particle processing. The main body the consisted waxy matrix containing nanostructured oil phases. When these particles were dispersed in an aqueous solution with lipase, phases digested free fatty acids released. Water dro...
