Cowpea is one of the most consumed legumes in Africa. Recombinant DNA technology has been used to insert foreign genes into plants genome thereby creating a new generation with desired traits. Such possess improved seed quality, yield and resistance pests pathogens. The aim this work assess safety profile an variety cowpea by examining its effect on liver kidney.Native cowpea, IT89KD, were fed ...

Twenty five blood samples from 6-month to 5-year old children with visceral leishmaniasis were analysed for various enzymes. Aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LD) and its various isoenzymes were estimated in the serum, while glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) was measured in red blood cells. For comparison, blood samples from healthy chi...

Aim: De Ritis ratio (aspartate transaminase/alanine transaminase) may be a useful prognostic biomarker for certain malignant tumors. However, the predictive value of before treatment in preoperative staging patients with breast cancer is unknown. This study aimed to evaluate benign and diseases investigate it cancer. 
 Methods: Retrospective analysis was made clinicopathological data 301 d...

Two novel thermo-responsive polymer brushes were prepared from L-alanine derivatives using the surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) technique. The temperature-induced cell capture and release on both polymer brush modified substrates were further explored.

The regulation of synthesis of the valine-alanine-alpha-aminobutyrate transaminase (transaminase C) was studied in Escherichia coli mutants lacking the branched-chain amino acid transaminase (transaminase B). An investigation was made of two strains, CU2 and CU2002, each carrying the same transaminase B lesion but exhibiting different growth responses on a medium supplemented with branched-chai...

When structures that interconvert on a given time scale are lumped together, the corresponding free-energy surface becomes a function of the observation time. This view is equivalent to grouping structures that are connected by free-energy barriers below a certain threshold. We illustrate this time dependence for some benchmark systems, namely atomic clusters and alanine dipeptide, highlighting...

UNLABELLED We previously isolated the transaminase KES23458 from Pseudomonas sp. strain AAC as a promising biocatalyst for the production of 12-aminododecanoic acid, a constituent building block of nylon-12. Here, we report the subsequent characterization of this transaminase. It exhibits activity with a broad substrate range which includes α-, β-, and ω-amino acids, as well as α,ω-diamines and...

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of Arctium lappa L. (burdock) on the liver of adult male Wistar rats as measured by light microscopy and biochemical parameters. The rats received the extract in water bottles at doses of 10 or 20 g/L daily for 40 days. There were no significant changes in the plasma levels of albumin, aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), g...

The present study was aimed to investigate the impact of Chromium trioxide on biochemical parameters of freshwater fish, Channa punctatus exposed to sub lethal concentration for 7, 15, 30 and 60 days. Aspartate transaminase (AST), Alanine transaminase (ALT), Orthophosphoric Monoester Phospho-hydrolase (OMP) and Orthophosphoric acid Monoester Phospho-hydrolase (OAMP) activities have been analyse...
