Beta-N-acetyl glucosaminidase (NAG) is a lyosomal enzyme found in high concentrations in the epithelial cells of renal tubules. It is excreted in the urine of normal people, but much larger quantities are excreted by patients with renal disease,' those taking nephrotoxic drugs,' and those starting treatment with aspirin.3 Measuring NAG excretion may be a convenient way of assessing early damage...

OBJECTIVE To determine the changes in activity of plasma N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase, a marker for inflammation as well as renal, pulmonary and cardiac damage and proinflammatory cytokines in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting and find out the relationship between their plasma levels with clinical outcome of patients. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. PLACE AND DURATI...

OBJECTIVE Humans and animals exposed to undernutrition (UN) during development often experience accelerated "catch-up" growth when food supplies are plentiful. Little is known about the mechanisms regulating early growth rates. We previously reported that actions of leptin and presynaptic inputs to orexigenic NPY/AgRP/GABA (NAG) neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus are almost excl...

Nanotechnology has been advanced since the last decades. Among all nanomaterials that have been developed, nanosilver is the most frequently used nanoparticles. Its release into natural water bodies is inevitable due to its broad applications. Nanosilver (nAg) was prepared via Tollens method using. The morphology, size distribution and average size of the obtained nAg was characterized using Tr...
