Alanine dosimetry is now well established both as a reference and routine dosemeter for industrial irradiation processing. Accurate dosimetry under the relatively harsh conditions of industrial processing requires a characterisation of the parameters that influence the dosemeter response. The temperature of the dosemeter during irradiation is a difficult quantity to measure so that the accuracy...

aspirated and the colloid was removed by washing five times in an incubation medium containing 150 mM-NaC1, 5 mMKCI, 15 mM-Mops (pH 7.5 with KOH) and 5 mM-glucose. Cell suspensions for transport assays were confirmed as 1 OO'% reticulocytes as judged by supravital staining with Brilliant Cresyl Blue [ 31. IT-Labelled amino acid influx was measured by the oil-stop methodology described in detail...

The activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AAT) of different tissues of fingerlings of Labeo rohita under the influence of two effluents has been studied. The alanine aminotransferase activity was increased over the control in different exposed periods of tannery and distillery effluent treatments. The alanine aminotransferase in the liver showed increased a...

At the present time, efforts of many research groups around world are aimed at finding new factors triggering allergic sensitization process linked with IgE synthesis to harmless allergens. According recent data, production tissue cytokines is induced in cells by alarmins, thus, turn, eliciting pro-allergic immune response. Previously we have shown that β-alanine could be a potential alarmin ca...
