This study was conducted in Abia state, Nigeria with specific objectives to: describe socio economic characteristics of ADP and non-ADP contact farmers; estimate profitability level of the two farmer groups; compare profitability of cassava production among the two farmer groups; determine factors that influence profitability of ADP and non-ADP contact cassava farmers and identify problems cons...

The study aimed to select the best extraction technology of Angelica dahurica polysaccharides (ADP), characterize its structure, and antioxidant activity. On basis single-factor experiment result, ultrasonic-assisted (UAE) ADP was ameliorate using response surface method. optimal conditions were: time 32 min, temperature 74°C, ratio water material 19 mL/g, power 270 W. practical rate 11.21 ± 0....

Blood and plasma proteins are heavily investigated as biomarkers for different diseases. However, the post-translational modification states of these rarely analyzed since blood contains many enzymes that rapidly remove modifications after sampling. In contrast to well-described role protein ADP-ribosylation in cells organs, its remains mostly uncharacterized. Here, we discovered phosphodiester...

Neuronal and astroglial cells were prepared from whole brain of three month and 30-month- old rats for study of alterations in the nuclear poly ADP-ribosylation and DNA breaks with age. The relative purity of the cell preparations was confirmed by the determination of the neurofilament (low molecular weight) and glutamine synthetase content of the cells using ELISA. An increase (75%) in th...

Abstract Externalization of Calreticulin (CALR) is the critical first step in initiation Immunogenic Cell Death. Since Oxaliplatin (OX) cooperates with an oncolytic chimeric human adenovirus Ad5/3-NP2.ADP (ADP) to induce adaptive immunity as well regression established cancer, we sought determine whether cooperation was additive or synergistic. Methods include immunohistochemistry (IHC) for exp...
