چکیده

A modification of a kinetic determination of 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) activity is described. Special attention has been paid to the stabilisation of glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.2) by L-leucine, optimal NADH concentration and the influence of endogeneous ammonia. The optimal concentrations of the other constituents of the reagent were checked with the optimal values given in the literature. Normal values were determined. The proposed method shows a good correlation with a colorimetric reference method.

Value of alkaline phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, gamma-glutamyltransferase, and glutamate dehydrogenase activity measurements (single and combined) in serum in diagnosis of metastasis to the liver.

We assessed, in 98 patients with cancer, the diagnostic value of measuring serum alkaline phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, gamma-glutamyltransferase, and glutamate dehydrogenase activities as an aid to detection of liver metastases. All four enzymes showed diagnostic value, but 5'-nucleotidase appeared to have the greatest. It showed the lowest false-positive results (7.4%) with the highest predic...

Chemical inhibition used in a kinetic urease/glutamate dehydrogenase method for urea in serum.

We describe a fixed-time-interval, kinetic inhibition method, with use of a competitive inhibitor (l) of the urease/glutamate dehydrogenase reaction to increase the "apparent" Michaelis constant by a factor of (1 + [l]lKl). This allows greater flexibility in selecting an appropriate sample dilution for kinetic determinations of urea in serum (i.e., [S]lKm ratio). Nine compounds were screened as...

Effects of Parathion Toxin on Glutamate Dehydrogenase Enzyme Activity and Diabetes Induction

Introduction: The main propose of this study was to determine the effect of parathion on activity of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) as a key enzyme in second phase secretion of insulin and to determine serum glucose levels in rats. Methods: To conduct the study, 35 rats were randomly divided into five groups (n=7). The serum glucose level of each group was measured and the total average was ca...

Evaluation of Glutamate Dehydrogenase Activity and Insulin Secretion in Mice Exposed to Dexamethasone

Background and Aims: Diabetes is one of the most important endocrine disrupters and is associated with various hormones, including those that can lead to diabetes. Glucocorticoid use may lead to insulin resistance. Dexamethasone is one of these glucocorticoid compounds. Glutamate dehydrogenase plays a key role in the production of glutamate in the secretion of insulin. Based on these hormonal i...

A true-positive result, a measure of the sensitivity, was defined as a protoporphyrin value >350 g per liter of whole blood and a...
