The thermal denaturation of adenosine deaminase (ADA) has been investigated in the presence of sodium n-dodecyl sulphate (SDS) over the temperature range of (293-363K) in 2.5 mM phosphate buffer, pH 6.4 by temperature scanning spectroscopy. The interaction of SDS caused the folding of adenosine deaminanse resulting in a decrease of TH (temperature of minimum solubility), TS<...

Background: Nowadays, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are among the most common causes of mortalities worldwide. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) has an important role in the pathogenesis of CVDs. The aim of the current study was to compare serum PTH levels between patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI), unstable angina, and normal coronary function. Methods: This descriptive and analytic stud...

the thermal denaturation of adenosine deaminase (ada) has been investigated in the presence of sodium n-dodecyl sulphate (sds) over the temperature range of (293-363k) in 2.5 mm phosphate buffer, ph 6.4 by temperature scanning spectroscopy. the interaction of sds caused the folding of adenosine deaminanse resulting in a decrease of th (temperature of minimum solubility), ts (temperature of maxi...

the effect of physiological concentrations of caffeine (purified from persian tea) on adenosine deaminase (ada) activity at physiological and pathological concentrations of adenosine (as substrate) in 50 mm tris-hcl buffer (ph 7.3) at 37°c was investigated, using uv-vis spectroscopy. ada exhibited a bi-phasic activity behavior and both phases showed positive cooperativities indicating adenosine...

OBJECTIVES The study examined possible clinical determinants of platelet resistance to nitric oxide (NO) donors in patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP) and acute coronary syndromes (ACS), relative to nonischemic patients and normal subjects. BACKGROUND We have shown previously that platelets from patients with SAP are resistant to the antiaggregating effects of nitroglycerin (NTG) and s...

BACKGROUND Platelet reactivity is increased by exercise in patients with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) but not in patients with syndrome X. In this study, we prospectively investigated whether the platelet response to exercise might help distinguish, among patients with angina, those with obstructive CAD from those with normal coronary arteries (NCAs). METHODS AND RESULTS Venous b...
