In this paper, covalent immobilization of beta amylase enzyme on the surface of modified magnetic nano particles (ZnFe2O4@SiO2-NH2) is reported. For doing so, at first, the magnetic nanoparticles of ZnFe2O4 were synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method and then tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and 3-aminopropyltriethoxy sil...

Abstract In this paper, we obtain bounds on the Wilson loop expectations in 4D $U(1)$ lattice gauge theory, which quantify effect of topological defects. case a Villain interaction, by extending non-perturbative technique introduced [24], following estimate for large $\gamma $ at low temperatures: |\langle W_\gamma \rangle _{\beta }|\leq \exp \Big (-\frac {C_{GFF}} {2\beta }(1+C \beta e^{- 2\pi...

Introduction: Free radicals cause several human diseases. Antioxidants decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases and heart attack, and prevent the development of cancers through neutralization of free radicals. This study set out to determine the antioxidative properties of Citrullus colocynthis growing in Khuzestan. This plant is traditionally used for the treatment of type II diabetes. ...

Regulation of C4b-binding protein (C4BP) isoforms during acute phase and its relationship to the plasma concentration of free protein S was elucidated. An assay for beta chain containing C4BP (C4BP beta+) was developed and the concentrations of total C4BP, C4BP beta+, total, free, and bound protein S were measured in patients with acute-phase response. Even though total C4BP was increased to 16...

The polyamines, relatively low-molecular-weight aliphatic compounds, are the main inducers of eukaryotic cell growth and proliferation. Although polyamine requirements for cell growth are well defined, their role is still enigmatic. We have previously reported that amyloid beta-peptide (A beta), the main constituent of senile plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain, is toxic to neurons throug...

Purpose: To prepare beta-cryptoxanthin-loaded nanoliposomes and evaluate their anti-proliferative activity in leukemia K562 cell line, compared to free beta-cryptoxanthin. Methods: Beta-cryptoxanthin-loaded nanoliposomes were prepared by extrusion method. Morphological characterization of the nanoliposomes was performed by cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM). The anti-proliferation...

background: oxidative stress in reproductive system leads to sperm dna damage and sperm membrane lipid peroxidation and may play an important role in the pathogenesis of male infertility, especially in idiopathic cases. antioxidants such as carotenoids function against free radical damages. objective : the aim of this study was to determine the levels of lycopene, beta-carotene and retinol in s...

In order to elucidate the presence of free FSH-beta and LH-beta and their relation to the native hormones, immunoreactive FSH (IR-FSH), IR-LH, IR-FSH-beta, and IR-LH-beta subunits in the rat anterior pituitary and serum from 1200hr of proestrous day to 0600hr of estrous day were measured by radioimmunoassay. The amounts of IR-FSH-beta found were always more than those explained by the cross-rea...
