Hyperphosphatemia has been recognized as a serious and frequent complication in dogs cats with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). The veterinary approach is mainly based on reducing phosphorus the diet phosphate (P) binders. In this vitro study we compared seven supplements different combination of ingredients for at pH 3 7 to estimate P binding capacity overtime. Our results confirmed best acid bas...

tranexamic acid is generally used in the treatment of disorders that predispose one to bleeding. it is a synthetic lysine analog that has strong antifibrinolytic activity. plasminogen binds to fibrin to form plasmin, which in turn degrades fibrin into fibrin degradation products. tranexamic acid blocks the lysine binding site on plasminogen and prevents interaction with fibrin. tranexamic acid ...

potential relationships between amino acid motifs in the antigen binding groove of various alleles of the bovine major histocompatibility complex dr (bola-dr) molecule and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (pbmc) proliferation, in response to s. aureus and phytohemaglutinin, were investigated. the animals included in the study were approximately of the same age and comprised of pure holstein-fr...

22 The use of adsorptive chromatography for preparative nucleic acid separations is often limited by low capacity. The 23 possibility that the adsorbent surface area sterically accessible to nucleic acid molecules could be increased by reducing their 24 radius of gyration with compaction agents has been investigated. The equilibrium adsorption capacity of Q-Sepharose 25 anion-exchange matrix fo...

poly urea-formaldehyde was synthesized simply and rapidly from urea and formaldehyde by condensation polymerization and studied for the sorption of trace acid blue from aqueous solution. the optimum ph value for sorption of the acid blue was 4. experimental results showed that the sorption capacity of poly urea-formaldehyde for acid blue was determined. the synthetic polymer can be reused for 5...

Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic heavy metal, wide occupational and an environmental pollutant, affecting human health. Probiotics especially lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have the capacity to bind, remove and to decrease tissue cadmium levels. The objective was to evaluate the potency of Cd binding capacity, antioxidative properties of probiotic bacteria against cadmium in vitro and its probable de...

Methods are described that resulted in the selective release of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-binding factor from the surface of competent pneumococci. The same methods caused a parallel inactivation of the DNA-binding capacity of the extracted bacteria. Genetically or physiologically incompetent pneumococci did not yield binding factor upon exposure to the same methods. The solubilized binding f...

ɛ-Polylysine (EPL) is used as a natural preservative in food. However, few studies have been conducted to assess the beneficial functions of dietary EPL. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the mechanism underlying the inhibition of neutral and acidic sterol absorption and hepatic enzyme activity-related fatty acid biosynthesis following EPL intake. EPL digest prepared using an in vitro ...

BACKGROUND The effectiveness of the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose in plant cell wall is strongly influenced by the access of enzymes to cellulose, which is at least in part limited by the presence of lignin. Although physicochemical treatments preceding the enzymatic catalysis significantly overcome this recalcitrance, the residual lignin can still play a role in the process. Lignin is sugg...

Human serum apotransferrin was exposed to the isolated myeloperoxidase-H2O2-halide system or to phorbol ester-activated human neutrophils. Such treatment resulted in a marked loss in transferrin iron binding capacity as well as concomitant iodination of transferrin. Each component of the cell-free system (myeloperoxidase, H2O2, iodide) or neutrophil system (neutrophils, phorbol ester, iodide) w...
