Examination of antinuclear antibody (ANA) is used in diagnosis systemic autoimmune diseases, and the indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) assay using HEp-2 cells gold standard method. allows detection multiple target antigen-directed autoantibodies. The guide “The International Consensus on ANA Patterns (ICAP)”, characterizes patterns into three groups: nuclear, cytoplasmic, mitotic. majority thes...

abstract in order to study the effect of different water potential on anethum graveolens two experiments were conducted for germination and vegetative stages. this study was carried out as a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications. in the first experiment, response of dill seeds germination to levels of drought stress including to drought potentials ze...

Liver content of pentose-cycle intermediates and the activity of the three major cytoplasmic NADPH-producing enzymes and pentose-cycle enzymes were measured in three dietary states: 48 h-starved rats, rats fed on a standard diet ad libitum, and rats meal-fed with a low-fat high-carbohydrate diet. Measured tissue contents of pentose-cycle intermediates in starved liver were: 6-phosphogluconate, ...

Glycosyltransferases involved in the biosynthesis of glyco-protein and glycolipid sugar chains are resident membrane proteins of the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus. Although the glycosylation pathways in which they participate have been extensively studied and reviewed (1-3), major questions remain concerning the molecular basis for the subcellular organization of the glycosylati...

BACKGROUND The bacterial phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS) catalyses the cellular uptake and subsequent phosphorylation of carbohydrates. Moreover, the PTS plays a crucial role in the global regulation of various metabolic pathways. The PTS consists of two general proteins, enzyme I and the histidine-containing protein (HPr), and the carbohydrate-specific enzyme II (...

a preliminary study on statistical modelling of a process for depolymerisation of cassava non-starch carbohydrate using halide salt assisted phosphoric and pyruvic acids were accomplished. the effects of three independent variables namely; acid concentration, potassium iodide salt and duration were studied using the central composite rotatable design on hydrolysis of the cassava non-starch carb...
