Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNifH: Structural and Mechanistic Similarities with Proteins Involved in Diverse Biological ProcessesSurobhi Lahiri, Lakshmi Pulakat, Nara GaviniThe NifH protein is a subunit of the nitrogenase enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia. This protein contains highly conserved regions including the nucleotide binding sites, metal center ligands and the Switch I and Switch II domains. A number of proteins have structural and mechanistic similarities as well as evolutionary relationships with the NifH protein, notable … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,671 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvidence of Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Autism and Implications for TreatmentDaniel A. Rossignol, J. Jeffrey BradstreetClassical mitochondrial diseases occur in a subset of individuals with autism and are usually caused by genetic anomalies or mitochondrial respiratory pathway deficits. However, in many cases of autism, there is evidence of mitochondrial dysfunction (MtD) without the classic features associated with mitochondrial disease. MtD appears to be more common in autism and presents with less severe signs and symptoms. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 16,373 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAltered Sulfur Amino Acid Metabolism In Immune Cells of Children Diagnosed With AutismJung H. Suh, William J. Walsh, Woody R. McGinnis et al.Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a behaviorally defined neurodevelopmental disorder whose etiology is poorly understood. Recent studies have shown that autistic children may be experiencing increased inflammation and oxidative stress. Altered immune regulation may be one contributing factor to inflammation and oxidative stress in autistic children. Sulfur amino acid (SAA) metabolism plays a critical role in regulating blood leukocyte functions … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 10,789 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Frequency of Polymorphisms affecting Lead and Mercury Toxicity among Children with AutismShannon Rose, Stepan Melnyk, Alena Savenka et al.Individual risk of developmental neurotoxicity with exposure to environmentally relevant levels of lead and mercury is likely to be determined by genetic susceptibility factors as well as additive interactions with other environmental pollutants, cumulative dose, and the developmental stage of exposure. The apparent increase in autism diagnosis over the last 15 years has enhanced interest in the possibility that an … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeuroprotection Afforded by GABA Against Oxygen-Glucose Deprivation-Induced Injury in Rat Cortical Brain Slices: An Hormetic Dose-Response EffectLorenzo Ricci, Massimo Valoti, Giampietro Sgaragli, Maria FrosiniThe aim of the present investigation was to assess neuroprotection exerted by GABA (100 nM-100 mM) in rat cortical brain slices subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation. Neuronal injury and neuroprotection were assessed by measuring the release of glutamate and lactate dehydrogenase and tissue water content. Results demonstrate that GABA exerted neuroprotective effects according to a U-shaped, hormetic-like, concentration-response curve, … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,166 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiochemical and Genetic Responses of Fungi to the Toxic Effect of Synthetic and Natural FungicidesMarÍa-Elena Báez-Flores, Rosalba Troncoso-Rojas, Martin-Ernesto Tiznado-HernándezThe objective of the present review is to analyze the molecular basis of fungicide resistance mechanism to both synthetic fungicides and the natural fungicides isothiocyanates. The review is focused mainly on Alternaria sp., but whenever available, similar studies in other fungi have been included. Fungal resistant strains to dicarboximide and phenylpyrrole fungicides have been found to contain mutations in one … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,118 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutritional control of HIV-AIDS-A case for SeleniumParisa Kalantari, Hema Vunta, Umamaheswari D. Palempalli et al.Selenium (Se) is a micronutrient that is incorporated into proteins. Some of the selenoenzymes such as GPXs and thioredoxin reductases exhibit glutathione peroxidase-dependent activities towards organic and inorganic peroxides. Thus, selenoenzymes play a pivotal role in mitigating oxidative stress caused by accumulation of peroxides. In this respect, selenoproteins may interfere with the transcription-driven by oxidative stress-dependent signaling mechanisms to influence … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,344 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBio-Safety Technology in Production of Bovine Herpesvirus Type 5 (BoHV-5) Using an Alternative Serum-Free MediumTereza C. Cardoso, Heitor F. Ferrari, Maria Cecília R. Luvizotto, Clarice W. ArnsThe detection and growth of bovine herpes virus type 5 (BoHV-5) was evaluated in three different media without foetal bovine serum or animal protein by infecting three different cell lines. The OPTI-PRO, VP-SFM and RPMI 1640 media were supplemented by L-glutamine, antibiotics added by 5µg of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) and used to adapt CER, MDBK and CRIB cells in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,991 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCurcuma longa, Glycyrrhiza glabra and Moringa oleifera Ameliorate Diclofenac-induced Hepatoxicity in RatsAlaaeldin A. HamzaAlthough treatment with therapeutic agents may be one of the main causes of liver toxicity, there have been only limited attempts at thorough research efforts to seek solution. Diclofenac (DIC) is a widely used anti-inflammatory drug that causes liver toxicity. This DIC-induced hepatotoxicity was found to be associated with oxidative damage. In this report, extracts of herbal plants that are … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 9,614 accessesView PDFCite
