Background. Desnutrin is an enzyme that catalyzes the first step of cytoplasmic triacylglycerol lipolysis from white adipose tissue and several other tissues, which are disrupted by the obesity and metabolic syndrome. Objectives. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of high-intensity interval training and continuous training on the desnutrin gene expression in the subcutaneous adipo...

celiac disease has been associated with other autoimmune disorders such as autoimmune hepatitis, moreover it is known that t cell mediated immune response to dietary gluten and released cytokines are important for the entheropathy seen in celiac disease. we investigated celiac autoantibodies in patients with autoimmune hepatitis (aih), and chronic hepatitis b (chb). sera from 84 patients with a...

Jejunal fluid and mucosal tissue were obtained simultaneously from the same jejunal site in a group of 29 children by a modified biopsy procedure. Lactase, maltase, and sucrase activities were measured in both fluid and mucosal specimens using the same analytical method. The fluid enzyme activities showed highly significant positive correlations with the same enzyme activity in the relevant tis...

In T47D breast cancer cell line, progestin (R5020) induces de novo synthesis of an alkaline phosphatase enzyme. Based on inhibitor profiles and antigenic specificity, it is apparent that this enzyme belongs to the class of membrane-associated tissue-unspecific alkaline phosphatases. Enzyme induction was uniquely specific to progestins and not altered by other steroid hormones or synthetic analo...

Cathepsin B is a lysosomal cysteine protease, contributing to vital cellular homeostatic processes including protein turnover, macroautophagy of damaged organelles, antigen presentation, and in the extracellular space, it takes part tissue remodeling, prohormone processing, activation. However, aberrant overexpression cathepsin its enzymatic activity associated with different pathological condi...

Despite being a critical molecule in the brain, mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) of cholesterol has been under-reported compared to other lipids due difficulty ionizing sterol molecule. In present work, we have employed an on-tissue enzyme-assisted derivatization strategy improve detection brain tissue sections. We report distribution and levels across specific structures mouse model Niemann-Pic...

Background: Mammalian spermatozoa are highly susceptible to lipid peroxidation, which leads to structural damage to the sperm cell, the enzymatic leakage from spermatozoa accompanied by lowered motility and metabolism. Catalase, an enzyme that detoxify hydrogen peroxide and reduce the enzyme leakage from sperm cell Materials and Methods: For this study, buffalo bull testicles (20 pairs) were pi...

background: in most cases, prostatitis can be caused by a bacterial agent such as ureaplasma urealyticum. considering to the cumbersome of the culture method for the detection of ureaplasma species in clinical samples such as prostate; pcr method that is faster and more appropriate than the cultivation methods, can be utilized for the detection of u. urealyticum and u. parvum. pcr-rflp method c...

Objective: To compare the characteristics of human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) obtained by tissue-explant and enzyme-digestion methods. Methods: The hGFs were isolated using tissue explants and enzyme digestion methods and identified by immunocytochemical analysis. Cell-surface molecules were detected by flow cytometry analysis. The colony-forming activity was examined by CFU-F assay. Oil red O...
