The ribonuclease and phosphodiesterase activities of rat liver plasma membranes, purified from the crude nuclear fraction by centrifugation in an A-XII zonal rotor and flotation, were examined and compared. The plasma membrane is responsible for between 65 and 90% of the phosphodiesterase activity of the cell and between 25 and 30% of the particulate ribonuclease activity measured at pH8.7 in t...

Persimmon Leaf (PL), commonly consumed as herbal tea and traditional medicines, contains a variety of compounds that exert antioxidant, α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. However, little is known about the in vivo effects and underlying mechanisms of PL on hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and hepatic steatosis in type 2 diabetes. Powered PL (5%, w/w) was supplemented with a normal di...

abstract to assay the effect of acetylsalicylic acid pretreatment on enhancement of yield and yield components of barley (reihan-03) under water stress condition, an experiment was conducted as a spilt-plot arrangement based on randomized complete block design with four replications at the research field of shahid bahonar university of kerman, iran, in 2012-2013. irrigation condition was arrang...

Abstract Effluents from municipal wastewater treatment plants (MWTPs) are complex mixtures of chemicals including endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) and 17?-ethynylestradiol (EE2). The objective this study was to evaluate selected responses two fish species, in different years, exposed situ MWTP effluent. Biological markers exposure (plasma vitellogenin (VTG) antioxidant enzymes) were measur...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the context of lipid metabolism research in physical activity, lipolysis, lipolysis hormone regulation and the fate of lipolysis products in exercise, fatty acid transporters, some genes involved in lipid metabolism, effect of resistance activity on lipolysis, adaptations of adipose tissue due to physical activity, lipoproteins and apoproteins...

The aim of this research was to study the effect of warm up with two different type intensity on plasma antioxidant enzymes and damage indices of lipid, protein and DNA after intensive activity in non-athlete males. 12 non athlete students of kharazmi University participated in this study. Firist, subjects VO2peak were measured by Gas analyzer (Meta Max 3B) on the ergometer cycle with increment...

Several mammalian enzymes are anchored to the outer surface of plasma membrane by a covalently attached glycosyl-phosphatidylinisitol (GPI) structure. These include acetylcholinesterase, alkalinee phosphatase and 5´-nucleotidase. Recently, it has been reported that these membrane enzymes can be solubilized into the serum by GPI-dependent PLD, under various medical disturbances such as cancer an...

protein-rich hydrolysate from feather waste was obtained using a mixed culture of selected thermophilic actinomycete strains, and was tested for possible application as soil amendment and biological control agent. for this purpose, a 4 months laboratory experiment was carried out using two types of urban soils (sofia, bulgaria): native park soil and anthropogenic soil. the effect of the obtain...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary melatonin supplementation (10 mg/kg body wt. for 4 weeks) on some erythrocytic antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation as well as some plasma biochemical parameters in common carp. the results showed that the activities of glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase were increased significantly (p < 0.05) after melatonin suppleme...
