Edible mushrooms used as a protein-rich food may be an attractive alternative to conventional protein sources, while promoting its valorization. This work aimed obtain concentrate from Pleurotus ostreatus mushroom flour, characterization, and nutritional functional properties evaluation. Methodologies applied for extraction precipitation of were optimized - pH 4 12, respectively; flour-solvent ...

Background Active ADAM10 is a transmembrane protein with α-secretase function that inhibits β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide formation, an important neuropathological agent of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In addition, persons cognitive decline, such as Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), have high conversion rate to AD. Previous studies show the levels active platelet are reduced in AD dementia, compared cogni...

Protein-rich wheat bran aqueous extract was fractionated by size exclusion chromatography. Each of the chromatographic fractions hydrolyzed with V8 protease in a reaction medium containing Ca2+. Both and hydrolysates were characterized physically chemically. The objective to obtain information about which components are involved formation nanoparticles, reported previous works. Six from 0.3 102...

Protein content and ion composition of host blood and feces from blood-fed adult cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis (Bouché), were examined. Total fecal protein differed slightly from host blood indicating that there was little digestion of host blood by adult fleas. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gels of host blood and flea feces also revealed little digestion, as evid...

In this study the effect of a methylated derivative of nitrogen mustard (mechloroethamin) on solubilized and reconstituted chromatin was investigated using UVNis spectroscopy, DNA and SDS gel electrophoresis and densitomeoic scanning techniques, The results indicated that the 210 and 260 nm absorbances of reconstituted chromatin were decreased in a dose-dependent manner after treatment wit...

purpose: retinitis pigmentosa (rp) is a hereditary eye disease in human beings. it commences at childhood and continues by nyctalopia and gradual reduction of visual field and ends up by blindness. it may be inherited in three forms of autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive and sex-linked. in this investigation we intend to study rp type as a sex-linked disease and its location on x chromosome...

Background & Objective: Dangerous O is very important to transfusion medicine and there has been reports by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding some death relating incidences. As high iso-antibody production is closely associated with different immune reactions, a survey on the different immune response of dangerous O donors can lead to understanding their immune respo...
