this study was designed to evaluate the detrimental effect of atrazine (atr) on germinal epitheliums (ge) cytoplasmic carbohydrate (ch) and unsaturated fatty acids (ufa) ratio and to clarify the effect of atr on serum levels of fsh, lh, testosterone and inhibin-b (inh-b). the impact of atr exposure on total antioxidant capacity (tac), sperm dna packing and integrity were also investigated. seve...

background: the exact pathophysiology of testicular degeneration, following varicocele has not been completely understood yet.   objective: the current study was designed to determine the effect of varicocele on germinal epithelium (ge) cytoplasmic biohistochmical alterations.   materials and methods: to follow-up this study, left varicocele was induced in test groups. non-varicocelized rats we...

Glycogen is present in all tissues, but it primarily stored the liver and muscle. As a branched chain carbohydrate, broken down by phosphorylase debrancher enzymes, which are cytoplasmic. It also degraded lysosomal α-glucosidase (GAA) known as acid α-glucosidase. The deficiency of GAA patients Pompe disease, phenotypes infantile, juvenile later onset forms. disease treated enzyme replacement th...

Methotrexate (MTX) as a chemotherapeutic agent, has adverse effects on reproductive organs by enhancing oxidative stress. In this study, the protective effects of Cornus mas fruit extract (CMFE) against MTX side effects were evaluated. Forty-eight mature male NMRI mice were divided into six groups: group 1 (control) received 0.10 mL per day of normal saline intraperitoneally (IP), grou...

This review summarizes selected studies on galectin-3 (Gal3) as an example of the dynamic behavior of a carbohydrate-binding protein in the cytoplasm and nucleus of cells. Within the 15-member galectin family of proteins, Gal3 (M(r) approximately 30,000) is the sole representative of the chimera subclass in which a proline- and glycine-rich NH(2)-terminal domain is fused onto a COOH-terminal ca...

Nuclear and cytoplasmic localization of a lectinribonucleoprotein complex Blood group-related oligosaccharides are ligands in cell-adhesion events Role of glycosylation in cell interactions with extracellular matrix Changes in cell-surface carbohydrate during terminal differentiation of human epidermal keratinocytes The lipo-oligosaccharidic symbiotic signals of Rhizobiurn rneliloti Sulphated g...

This study was conducted to evaluate histochemical alterations of river buffalo’s uterine wall acid andalkaline phosphatases (ALP and ACP), lipase and carbohydrate ratio during follicular and luteal phases.Forty apparently healthy and non pregnant river buffalos were considered for removal of the uterus aftersacrifice in slaughterhouse. All dissected uteri were divided into two luteal (by obser...

Escherichia coli cells use two distinct sensory circuits during chemotaxis towards carbohydrates. One circuit requires the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS) and is independent of any specific chemoreceptor, whereas the other uses a chemoreceptor-dependent sensory mechanism analogous to that used during chemotaxis towards amino acids. Work on the carbohydrate chemotax...
