Davis, B. R. (Communicable Disease Center, Atlanta, Ga.), and W. H. Ewing. Lipolytic, pectolytic, and alginolytic activities of Enterobacteriaceae. J. Bacteriol. 88:16-19. 1964.-Of 2,262 cultures of Enterobacteriaceae tested, only cultures of Enterobacter liquefaciens (Aerobacter liquefaciens), Serratia, Proteus vulgaris, and P. mirabilis gave evidence of lipolytic activities. None of the cultu...

The anti-lipolytic effect of the adenosine analogue N6-L-phenylisopropyladenosine was studied with rat adipocytes incubated with a high concentration of adenosine deaminase (0.5 unit/ml, approx. 2.5 micrograms/ml) and concentrations of noradrenaline that were equieffective in different physiological states. These studies were performed to compare the fed and starved (24h) states and to compare ...

高折 修二 ・島本 暉朗 The experimental atheromatosis in various animals fed on high-fat, high-cholesterol diet has widely been used for the elucidation of the pathogenesis of clinical arterioscle rosis and for the laboratory evalution of lipolytic agents. Page et al. (1) and Myasnikov (2) have shown that rabbits are highly susceptive to the exogenously administered cho lesterol, while rats are relativel...

It has been proposed that differences in adipocyte function and/or metabolism between obese and lean individuals may manifest themselves in functional adipose tissue abnormalities that lead to metabolic disorders in obesity. We studied lipogenesis and lipolysis of omental adipocytes from obese (OB) and non-obese (NOB) humans. The specific activity of the lipogenic marker enzyme G3PDH was 50% lo...

Normal adult men and women have been infused with epinephrine, 6 mug per minute, during lipolytic blockade with nicotinic acid, beta-adrenergic blockade with propranolol and Butoxamine, and alpha-adrenergic blockade with phentolamine. Epinephrine infusion was associated with low serum levels of immunoreactive insulin (IRI) except when phentolamine was given simultaneously. These findings are co...

background and objectives: lipases are particularly important due to the fact that they specifically hydrolyze acyl glycerol, oils and greases, which is of great interest for different industrial applications. materialst and methods : in this study, several lipase-producing bacteria were isolated from wastewater of an oil processing plant. the strain possessing the highest lipase activity was i...
