In order to survey effect of salinity and cadmium on catalase and peroxidase enzymes activity , proline accumulation, Malondialdehyde and protein content variation in  Brassica oleracea an experiment was conducted in green house condition factorial design based on completely random block in 2014 year. The first factor was cadmium at four levels (0, 50, 100 and 200 ppm) and second factor was sal...

The distribution in the extracellular space of enzymes released from organ cells was investigated using three models: (1) comparison of enzyme activities in blood plasma and lymph of the ductus thoracicus (dog) and plasma and intestinal lymph (rat); (2) i.v. injection of heterologous, homologous and autologous enzymes in order to increase acutely the activities and to measure the rate constants...

a hydroponics study was carried out in order to understand the behavior of antioxidant enzymes, soluble protein content and its effect on cell death in different old leaves of durum wheat. two month after planting, the different old leaves were sampled and the activity of super oxide dismutase (sod), catalase, ascorbat peroxidase and guaiacol peroxidase were measured. furthermore, the rate of c...

Recent progress is reviewed in the diagnostic enzymology of renal dis­ eases. Enzyme determinations in blood serum are of little value. Activity increases during hemodialysis are most likely due to fluid redistribution. Enzymes are transported from the interstitium via the lymph into the intravasal space where they accumulate. Determination in the urine of enzymes of the brushborder of the prox...

Deficiency of α-galactosidase A (α-GAL) causes Fabry disease (FD), an X-linked storage disease of the glycosphingolipid globtriaosylcerammide (Gb3) in lysosomes of various cells and elevated plasma globotriaosylsphingosine (Lyso-Gb3) toxic for podocytes and nociceptive neurons. Enzyme replacement therapy is used to treat the disease, but clinical efficacy is limited in many male FD patients due...

A review of the literature conveys the impression that proteolytic enzymes capable of splitting protein substrates are largely associated with the plasma of mammalian blood, whereas enzymes acting on simple peptides are preponderantly associated with the formed elements. Thus, upon removal of inhibitory fractions from blood plasma, proteinases akin to trypsin and related to the process of blood...

Several studies have shown that renal failure decreases CYP3A activity and that uremic toxins may play a role via transcriptional or translational modifications of cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes and direct inhibition of P450-mediated metabolism. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between CYP3A activity (using plasma concentration of 4β-hydroxycholesterol as a biomarker) and clinical c...

acetylneuraminic acid hydrolase the kidney cortex homogenate was subjected to differential centrifugation (see Table 1). Each subcellular fraction obtained was washed twice by repeated centrifugation and the pooled supernatants were then subjected to the next centrifugation step. In this way the homogenate was separated into five particulate fractions and one soluble fraction. The subcellular f...

background: determination of digestive enzymes activity would provide critical information in the design of appropriate diet. sobaity, sparidentex hasta is found in the persian gulf and  cultured in countries adjacent to it. objectives: this study investigated proteolytic, amylase and lipase activities in the intestine of sparidentex hasta captured from the  persian gulf. methods: 60 immature s...
