Effect of Ascaris lumbricoides infection on brain enzymes.

چکیده
Glutamine synthetase (EC 6.3.1.2) catalyses the formation of glutamine from glutamate and ammonia coupled with the breakdown of ATP to ADP and phosphate. In the presence of ATP, glutamate and Mg, but in the absence of ammonia the enzyme forms a complex containing glutamate, ADP and phosphate; with ammonia, this complex forms glutamine, ADP, phosphate and free enzyme. The presence of ATP is necessary for the enzyme to bind glutamate, and for the reverse reaction ADP is required for the binding glutamine (7):

This study examined the effect of the 2 major means of control of Ascaris lumbricoides--chemotherapy and sanitation. About 200 pre-school Caribbean children living in 3 villages with varying sanitation were studied by quantitative stool examination for the presence of the eggs of helminths. Children with Ascaris eggs were treated with piperazine. Over a 2-year period this procedure was repeated...

We evaluated the effect of Ascaris lumbricoides on Giardia duodenalis infection and TH1/TH2 type immune mechanisms toward this parasite in 251 rural parasitized and 70 urban non-parasitized school children. The children were classified according to light (0-5000 eggs/g faeces) or moderate (>5001-50,000 eggs/g faeces) A. lumbricoides infection. Anti G. duodenalis skin hyper-reactivity, IgE, IgG,...

BACKGROUND Meta-analysis is a statistical technique in which the results of two or more independent studies, with similar objectives, are mathematically combined in order to improve the reliability of the results. The outliers, which may exist even in random models, can affect the validity and strength of meta-analysis results. OBJECTIVES The current study uses "random effects variance shift ...
متن کاملThe biological activity of ABA-1-like protein from Ascaris lumbricoides.
The elevation of non-specific IgE (total IgE) in Ascaris infection can be seen one week after infection, and reaches a peak after approximately two weeks. It has been reported that ABA-1 protein is the main constituent in the pseudocoelomic fluid of Ascaris suum. To investigate the effect of the ABA-1-like protein from Ascaris lumbricoides (ALB), the cDNA was cloned by reverse transcriptase pol...
