There is no reference in previously published material on the normal value of α-amylase in tracheobronchial secretions. The amylase in the lungs of humans under normal conditions probably has two components-one is from local production and the other from physiological micro aspiration [1-6]. Takano in 1938 demonstrated in rabbits that the blood of theirs right heart had major amylase concentrat...

Three Korean native steers (779±24 kg) fitted with duodenal cannulas were used in a 3×3 Latin square design to investigate the influence of oral administration of soluble proteins, intact casein (IC) and acid hydrolyzed casein (AHC), on gastrointestinal hormone (GIH) secretion in the blood and pancreatic α-amylase activity in the duodenum. Oral treatment consisted of a basic diet (control), IC ...

Objective: The present study was planned to explore phytoconstituents and hypoglycemic potential of the leaf extracts of Acanthus ilicifolius and Evolvulus emerginatus by invitro method. Methods: The aqueous, ethanol and methanol leaf extracts were prepared by soxhlation method. Qualitative phytochemical screening was done by using Horborne method. Methanol leaf extracts and standard drug acarb...

The synthesis of nanomaterials using the existing physical and chemical methods lead to adsorption toxic chemicals on surface nanomaterials, which may causes adverse effects medicinal applications, in addition environmental degradation. To overcome drawbacks methods, different eco-friendly approaches enzymes, proteins, microorganisms plant materials have been employed for nanomaterials. In this...

Alpha amylase (α-1, 4-glucan-glucanhydrolase, EC 3.2.1.1), an extracellular enzyme, degrades α, 1-4 glucosidic linkages of starch and related substrates in an endo-fashion producing oligosaccharides including maltose, glucose and alpha limit dextrin (7). The present study deals with the production and comparative study of production of α-amylase from two strains of Bacillus licheniformis, MTCC ...

In the present study 4 thermophilic actinomycetes were isolated from banana waste compost and were studied for their morphological microscopical and enzyme activity. Each isolates were subjected to starch hydrolysis to select high efficient genera for αamylase production. Among the genera isolated genus Streptomyces sp. exhibited high α-amylase production. The observations showed that Streptomy...

bacillus sp. guf8, isolated from acidic soil samples of a tea farm was identified as bacillus cereus, based on 16s rdna sequencing and standard bacterial identification methods. following optimization of enzyme production, the resulting α-amylase was purified by acetone precipitation and ion exchange chromatography. consequently, thermostability and kinetic parameters of the purified enzyme wer...
