It was recently suggested that the increases in plasma enzyme activity following infection of mice with Riley virus (1) might be due to inhibition of the clearance of enzymes from the blood plasma (2). Preliminary studies confirmed that the plasma clearance of intravenously injected lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was greatly impaired in Riley virus-infected mice, and also showed that blood clearan...

As an emerging nonthermal technology, cold plasma has been used to inactivate endogenous enzymes that are responsible for enzymatic browning reaction of fruits and vegetables. This study aimed investigate the inactivation effect dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) on horseradish peroxidase (HRP), a typical plant peroxidase. The results showed DBD caused HRP in time-and power-dependent manner. ac...

BACKGROUND: Zinc (Zn) is one of the most important essential elements in the body of animals and plants. Zinc plays a significant role in the structure of more than 300 different proteins and in many life supporting biochemical and metabolic processes such as cellular respiration and protection against free radicals. Nanoparticles of zinc are the new form of Zinc used in cosmetic and personal c...

The current study aimed to examine the percentage changes of viability sperm and activity enzymes LDH, ALP, GOT / AST, GPT ALT in plasma Lacaune rams, before after cryopreservation. For this purpose, five rams were examined, two ejaculates obtained from each ram. Ejaculates are collected by method artificial vagina, during insemination campaign. All diluted with a 6AG extender frozen Cassou?s s...

objectives: turnip leaf has been used in folk medicine of iran for the treatment of diabetes. however,so far no scientific study has been done to support its use in traditional medicine. the present study was carried out to evaluate the possible hypoglycemic efficacy of aqueous extract of turnip leaf (aetl) in diabetic rats. materials and methods: alloxan-induced diabetic rats were orally treat...

Bacterial cellulose is a unique biopolymer that has found numerous biomedical applications, such as being an excellent wound-dressing material or carrier for delivering active compounds. The purpose of this study was to analyze the ability modified bacterial (BC) using low-pressure Ar plasma control release glycoside hydrolases with antibiofilm activity, namely PelAh and PslGh, from Pseudomonas...

The ameliorative activity of aqueous extract of the flesh of dates (Phoenix dactylifera L.) and ascorbic acid on thioacetamide-induced hepatotoxicity was studied in rats. Sixty male rats were divided into six equal groups of 10. Two groups were controls, one treated with thioacetamide and one with only distilled water. Two groups received extract of flesh Phoenix dactylifera and intraperitoneal...

Organophosphate (OPs) compounds are widely used in intensive agriculture to improve production, protect crops and control diseases vectors. The main mechanism of toxicity of OPs is the inhibition of the Cholinesterase enzymes. In this study the acetylcholinestrase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and specific acetylcholinestrase (SAChE) activities as potential biomarkers of exposure to OPs ...
