Oxygen transport to vertebrate tissues is dependent upon (a) the intrinsic O2-binding properties of haemoglobin (Hb) and (b) modulation by allosteric effectors, such as nucleoside triphosphates (NTP), that depress Hb O2-affinity in fish red cells. While some species, such as flatfish, primarily use adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to modulate O2-binding to Hb, others, such as eel and carp, also use...

BACKGROUND The increasing significance of food products containing substances with antioxidative activi- ties is currently being observed. This is mainly due to the fact that pathogenic changes underlying some diseases are related to the carcinogenic effects of free radicals. Antioxidative compounds play an important role in supporting and enhancing the body’s defense mechanisms, which is...

Contact activities of Piper guineense (Schum and Thonn) Eugenia aromaticum (L). (Merril Perryl) extracts in the control Dermestes maculatus larvae infesting stored fish (Clarias gariepinus) were investigated under laboratory condition (28 ±3°C 65±5% RH). The tested by application 2.0 µL each to ten third instars using micro pipette at a concentration 6.00, 10.00 20.00% p...

This research aimed at evaluating four cultivars of Capsicum annuum L. with different nutrient sources to ascertain the source that would improve soil characteristic and promote accumulation carotenoids flavonoids in peppers. Four sources: poultry manure, pig goat nitrogen: phosphorus: potassium (NPK) were used for study. The experiment was conducted as a 4 × 5 Factorial Complete Randomiz...

To investigate why Rhizobium sp. (Cicer) strain CC 1192 cells accumulate poly-R-3-hydroxybutyrate in the free-living state but not as bacteroids in nodules on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) plants, we have examined the kinetic properties of acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) acetyltransferase (also known as acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase and 3-ketothiolase [EC 2.3.1.9]) from both types of cells. The enzym...
