Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Mechanisms for Altered Glucose Homeostasis in HIV InfectionPaula W. HruzA complete understanding of the molecular mechanisms leading to HIV-associated insulin resistance remains elusive. Complex interrelationships between genetic predisposition, disease-related body changes and multidrug therapy all contribute to alterations in glucose homeostasis. These abnormalities can be differentiated between acute and reversible changes directly induced by HAART medications and more chronic and less reversible changes due to the development of lipodystrophy … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,882 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpirulina protects against cadmium-induced hepatotoxicity in ratsAmr Amin, Alaaeldin A. Hamza, Sayel Daoud, Waleed HamzaCadmium (Cd) is an environmental and industrial cumulative pollutant that most affects many organs specially the liver. The protective effect of Spirulina, filamentous blue green algae, on Cd – induced oxidative stress and hepatotoxicity was evaluated in male rats. Oral administration of water extract of Spirulina for seven days followed by an acute toxic dose of Cd (3.5 mg kg … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 11,537 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Model for Bioaccumulation of Metals in Crassostrea virginica from Apalachicola Bay, FloridaDennis A. Apeti, Elijah Johnson, Larry RobinsonKinetics of bioaccumulation of the trace metals (Cd and Zn) by C. virginica were investigated in this study. A computer program, Oyster Bioaccumulation Model (OBM), was developed to simulate the accumulation of the metals from both dissolved (water column) and particulate (food) phases by C. virginica. The model is based on two main attributes: (1) the oyster biological characteristics such … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,478 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHydrogen Peroxide Biosensor Based on the Direct Electrochemistry of Myoglobin Immobilized in Poly-3-Hydroxybutyrate FilmXiang Ma, Rongwu Yang, Genxi LiDirect electrochemistry of myoglobin (Mb) was observed in a stable film composed of a natural lipid polymer (poly-3-hydroxybutyrate) and Mb, the film of which was modified on a pyrolytic graphite electrode. The apparent formal potential of Mb was at about -260 mV in an acetate buffer solution with pH 5.0. Moreover, Mb in the polymer film exhibited catalytic activity towards … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,875 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntioxidant, Free Radical Scavenging and Metal Chelating Characteristics of PropolisHikmet Geckil, Burhan Ates, Gokhan Durmaz et al.This study was undertaken to determine the reducing characteristics, metal chelating capability, anti-lipid peroxidative and antiradical properties of propolis compared to two widely used artificial antioxidants, Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA) and Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT). The water and ethanol extracts of propolis showed significantly a different degree of metal chelating, radical scavenging activity and reducing power. In general, ethanol extracts of propolis … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 9,095 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Overview of the Antimicrobial Activity of Some Microbial EnzymesAkram N. Salah, Hayam Atallah AlwabsiEnzymes are substances produced by living organisms that are used to catalyze some biological and biochemical reactions as they either catalyze some types of polysaccharides and proteins or lyse complex materials such as polymers and lipids. Microbial enzymes are defined as the enzymes that can be extracted and purified from bacterial strains such as Bacillus spp., Pseudomonas spp., Streptomyces, or … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 11 Jun 2024 · 6,091 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntioxidant Activity of Trilobatin and Its Inhibitory Effects on Oxidative Damage of Biological MacromoleculesYuhan Zhai, Yuqing Zhang, Yaping Li et al.Excessive levels of free radicals in the body cause oxidative damage to macromolecules by injuring DNA, proteins, and lipids, which leads to structural and functional defects and ultimately results in a number of illnesses. The antioxidation of trilobatin and its inhibitory activity of trilobatin on oxidative damage of biological macromolecules have not been thoroughly investigated. In this research, the effects … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2023 · 5,470 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Oxidative Stress during Pregnancy on Obstetric Pathology Development in High-Yielding Dairy CowsInna Ventsova, Vladimir SafonovThe study aimed to examine the processes of oxidative stress and their intensity depending on the state of the antioxidant system in dairy cows. The study was conducted in 2018-2019 on the territory of the Druzhba breeding factory (Voronezh region, Russia) and involved 154 cows divided into 4 groups. Group 1 consisted of healthy animals (n = 83). Group 2 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 19 Jan 2021 · 6,728 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicroalgae Schizochytrium sp. in Feed for Piau Leporinus fridericiAline D.S. Prates, Marianne Schorer, Guilherme S. Moura et al.The objective of the study was to evaluate the growth of piau (Leporinus friderici) juveniles fed with diet supplemented with different levels of Schizochytrium sp. One hundred and forty juveniles of L. friderici were stocked in 20 aquariums (35 L) at the density of 0.2 fish L-1, weighing and measuring 11.80±1.08 g and 9.68±0.31 cm, respectively. The feeds were prepared … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 31 Oct 2018 · 7,594 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImprovements on Semi Critical Assisted-Solvent Extraction of Biocrude Oil from Spirogyra. sp Macro AlgaeTulio Chavez-Gil, Hany F. Sobhi, Alexis Pacheco-LaracuenteHere, we report on an improved chemical method to extract hydrocarbons (CH) and Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) from wild green macro algae, which is higher than that carried out with conventional Soxhlet (Sx) and similar to that of Subcritical (SbC) or supercritical fluid (SCE) extraction methods. Crude oil plus residual biomass gave combined calorific values of 49.05 MJ/kg in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 18 Apr 2018 · 10,085 accessesView PDFCite
