the paper demonstrates the result of changes in the physicochemical and biological properties in soil as a result of the operation of illegal dumping sites. soil was sampled from the research points located on the outskirts of the city of bydgoszcz (poland) from the site not affected by illegal dumping sites (control c), within the dumping sites, having removed the waste layer (w), and 10 m awa...

due to the importance of adult artemia in aquaculture, information regarding the digestive enzyme activities variation with inexpensive diets has great importance in artemia at different life stages. in this study, the effect of different inexpensive diets on digestive enzyme activities, including trypsin, amylse and lipase of artemia urmiana was investigated in different life stages. the exper...

drought is still accounted as a serious agronomic problem and also one of the most important factors contributing to crop yield loss. the effect of sodium silicate (na2sio3, abbreviated as si) was investigated on the four major antioxidant enzyme activities and five other relevant components in two different grapevine cultivars (vitis vinifera l., cvs mish pestan and sahebi, as tolerant and sen...

fascioliasis is a worldwide parasitic disease in human and domestic animals. the causative agents of fascioliasis are fasciola hepatica and fasciola gigantica. in the recent years, fasciola resistance to drugs has been reported in the many of publications. fasciola spp has detoxification system including gst enzyme which may be responsible for its resistance. therefore , the aim of the study wa...

background:in recent years, the use of chemicals in agriculture, industry, and public health has become so common that the environment is continuously contaminated by the toxic substance-like metals. aluminum released due to anthropogenic activities such as mining and industrial uses. aluminium has several industrial uses. the present study was designed to investigate the effect of aluminium ch...

background: tramadol narcotic drugs or epoxied artificial categories is weaker than morphine and stronger than ibuprofen and acetaminophen drug. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of oral tramadol on some liver enzymes in the rat. materials and methods: in this study, 60 male wistar rats were randomized into three groups (one control group, and experimental groups of 1, and 2)....

noise-induced hearing loss (nihl) is the most common complication of long-term noise exposure, though there  are  some  other  complications  due  to  exposure  to  noise.  metabolic  complications  of  the  noise exposure are being evaluated in recent studies. we aimed to assess the relationship between nihl and lipid profile, and fasting blood sugar (fbs). in this cross-sectional  study, 462 ...

abstract objective thalassemia major is a severe transfusion-dependent anemia that needs iron chalation therapy to remove iron overload. the objectives of the present study were to assess the iron overload liver response to inulin of chicory supplementation by evaluating the serum ferritin and liver enzymes. methods among 70 beta thalassemia patients, 50 were selected for chelating therapy usin...

Eukaryotes use small polypeptides of the ubiquitin [1,2] and Apg12 [3] families as tags to target proteins for degradation by the proteasome. Ubiquitin ligation is a multi-step process that involves at least three classes of enzymes [1]. The E1 enzymes first charge ubiquitin in an ATP-dependent manner to form an E1–ubiquitin thioester intermediate. This activated ubiquitin is transferred to the...

Genome analyses revealed in various basidiomycetes the existence of multiple genes for blue multi-copper oxidases (MCOs). Whole genomes are now available from saprotrophs, white rot and brown rot species, plant and animal pathogens and ectomycorrhizal species. Total numbers (from 1 to 17) and types of mco genes differ between analyzed species with no easy to recognize connection of gene distrib...
