A new enzymatic method for the determination of free and conjugated glucuronic acid.

چکیده
A new method is reported for the quantitative determination of glucuronic and galacturonic acid, which is based on spectrophotometric measurement of NADH. The NAD-linked oxidation of the uronic acids to the corresponding dicarboxylic acids is measured in the presence of uronic acid dehydrogenase. This enzyme was isolated from Pseudomonas syringae. The test is highly specific for glucuronic and galacturonic acid and permits the exact determination of free and conjugated glucuronic acid. This enzymatic determination of glucuronic is the most sensitive method available today.

Lipase Catalyzed Incorporation of Conjugated Linoleic Acid by Transesterification into Sunflower Oil Applying Immobilized Lipase (Lipozyme Thermomyces lanuginosus and Rhizomucor mehei)
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), Glycerol (G) and sunflower oil blends with varying concentration were subjected to enzymatic esterification using a 1, 3- specific immobilized lipase. CLA was used as acyl due to its purported health benefits. The transesterified lipids were evaluated for free fatty acids (FFA) and composition of fatty acids by gas chromatography. Lipozyme RM IM is preferred for ...

The objective of this study was to determine the concentrations of the metabolites of four selected phthalates, widely used industrial chemicals which possess endocrine-disrupting properties, in samples of amniotic fluid and maternal urine collected in the same day, in order to verify if the latter can be considered a measure of the fetal exposure. The quantitative determination of the metaboli...
متن کاملMicroanalysis of glucuronide glucuronic acid as applied to beta-glucuronidase and glucuronic acid studies.
In recent years, interest in the metabolism of glucuronic acid has grown. Contributions have ranged from studies of its biosynthesis and conjugation in surviving tissues and exper,imental animals to its utilization in man (l-lo). In all spheres, especially the latter, progress has been hampered by the lack of an analytical method by which glucuronides could be differentiated from free glucuroni...

Mycoestrogen zearalenone (ZEA) is found in human foods and animal feeds. Its estrogenic potencymainly depends on its biotransformation fate. The hepatic biotransformation of ZEA in rainbow trout wasinvestigated in this study. Various concentrations of ZEA were separately incubated with the hepaticmicrosomal and post-mitochondrial sub-fractions in the presence of NADPH, and the metabolites wered...
