As a versatile and valuable intermediate, furfuryl alcohol (FOL) has been widely used in manufacturing resins, vitamin C, perfumes, lubricants, plasticizers, fuel additives, biofuels, other furan-based chemicals. This work developed an efficient hybrid strategy for the valorization of lignocellulosic biomass to FOL. Corncob (75 g/L) was catalyzed with heterogenous catalyst Sn-SSXR (2 wt%) gener...

The study aimed to examine the processes of oxidative stress and their intensity depending on state antioxidant system in dairy cows. was conducted 2018-2019 territory Druzhba breeding factory (Voronezh region, Russia) involved 154 cows divided into 4 groups. Group 1 consisted healthy animals (n = 83). 2 contained with afterbirth retention 6). 3 included uterine subinvolution 49). comprised pos...

Antibodies to P-450IA2 strongly inhibited the mutagenic activation of 2-amino-3-methylimidazo |4,5-/]quinoline (IQ) and 3-amino-l-methyl5//-pyrido[4,3-e|indole acetate but not aflatoxin B, in human liver microsomes. The anti-rat P-450IA2 antibodies «erecapable of recognizing two proteins which show different mobilities on sodium dodecyl sulfatepolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of human liver ...

The aim of this study was to investigate aldose reductase inhibitory action of setipiprant as a potential additional mechanism contributing to its anti-inflammatory action. Aldose reductase activity was determined by spectrophotometric measuring of NADPH consumption. Setipiprant was found to inhibit aldose reductase/NADPH-mediated reduction of 4-hydroxynonenal, 4-hydroxynonenal glutathione and ...

The effect of Thiourea, Galmet and Thiogalmet on the antioxidant protection capacity plants in moderate drought conditions was studied. is a new chemical composition that contains Thiourea (Tu) - preparation consists mixture potassium, ammonium, magnesium gallates, potassium molybdate ammonium paramolybdate. Biological tests were performed vegetation complex Institute Genetics, Physiology Plant...

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common urological disease affecting aging men. Its pathogenesis regarded as complex and multifactorial, with sex hormones inflammation key contributory factors. In the current study, we investigated anti-BPH potential of terpenoids present in fruits Sorbus intermedia (EHRH.) PERS. Not only effects on testosterone-stimulated normal prostate epithelial PNT2...

Retinene reductase, an enzyme which catalyzes the diphosphopyridine nucleotide-dependent reduction of vitamin A aldehyde (retinene) to vitamin A alcohol, was first demonstrated with homogenates of frog and cattle retinas (1, 2). Because crude rabbit liver extracts (3) and crystalline horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (4) catalyze the oxidation of vitamin A into retinene, the general involvement...

The 3-hydroxypropionate cycle is a new autotrophic CO(2) fixation pathway in Chloroflexus aurantiacus and some archaebacteria. The initial step is acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) carboxylation to malonyl-CoA by acetyl-CoA carboxylase, followed by NADPH-dependent reduction of malonyl-CoA to 3-hydroxypropionate. This reduction step was studied in Chloroflexus aurantiacus. A new enzyme was purified, malon...
