The administration of a carbohydrate-containing diet for 24 hours to rats previously fasted for 3 days led to a twofold increase in total intestinal sucrase and sucrase specific activity. The specific activity of maltase was similarly increased, but lactase activity was unaffected. The sucrose-containing diet led to a greater increase in sucrase than maltase activity, whereas the converse was t...

Niemann-Pick Diseases (NPD) is lysosomal storage diseases caused by Acid Sphingo Myelinase (ASM) deficiency, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of Myelin

Sorghum is a globally important commodity for food, feed, and fuel, known to have high tolerance heat, drought, other abiotic stresses, large genetic variation grain yield under low-P conditions. Agricultural land in Indonesia dominated by acid soils with limited P availability, of total 144.5 million ha, around 107.3 ha are soils. Information regarding the sorghum deficiency conditions still v...

background and aim: omega 3 of essential fatty acids, especially in fish oil form plays an important role in structural, functional, and biological aspects in body. omega 3 deficiency can have devastating effects on the nervous system and auditory. this study aimed to evaluate auditory threshold in n-3 fatty acid-deficient rat pups following supplementation of fish oil consumption during the suc...

Reproduction is an important life process in insects; however, few studies have attempted to demonstrate the association between reproductive activity and energy metabolism. To address this problem, we focused on the reproductive changes in Bactrocera dorsalis males. We analyzed B. dorsalis male gene expression profiles during mating (DM), 3 h after mating (A3HM) and 12 h after mating (A12HM). ...

Maltase from Bacillus licheniformis KIBGE-IB4 was immobilized within calcium alginate beads using entrapment technique. Immobilized maltase showed maximum immobilization yield with 4% sodium alginate and 0.2 M calcium chloride within 90.0 min of curing time. Entrapment increases the enzyme-substrate reaction time and temperature from 5.0 to 10.0 min and 45 °C to 50 °C, respectively as compared ...

The western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is an important pest of maize. The diet of the D. virgifera imago is rich in starch and other polysaccharides present in cereals such as maize. Therefore, knowledge about enzymes involved in digestion of such specific food of this pest seems to be important. The paper shows, for the first time, the act...
