Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Ionizing Radiation on Antioxidant Enzymes in Three Species of TrigonellaMuna M. Al-Rumaih, May M. Al-RumaihThe response of three species of Trigonella, namely, Trigonella stellata, Trigonella hamosa and Trigonella anguina to gamma irradiation stress was investigated with respect to antioxidant enzyme induction. When dry seeds were subjected to gamma rays (0, 40, 60, 80, 100 Krad) from a cobalt source 60Co at a dose rate of 233.5 rad/ min, a dose dependent increase in the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 8,404 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHypoglycemic and Antihyperlipidemic Effect of Four Korean Medicinal Plants in Alloxan Induced Diabetic RatsJi Su Kim, Jung Bong Ju, Chang Won Choi, Sei Chang KimTo consider potentially new hypoglycemic and antihyperlipidemic sources, aqueous extracts from four Korean medicinal plants, Chrysanthemum coronarium, Dioscorea batatas, Morus alba, Citrus unshiu, were investigated in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. To induce diabetes, 36 rats were administered alloxan orally (120 mg/kg body weight) for 2 weeks and among those 6 rats were used as a diabetic control. Effect of extracts from … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 9,166 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAccumulation and Effect of Manganese on Chloroplasts and Antioxidant Responses in Arabidopsis ThalianaJun Xing, Xue Yang, Cailing YuanIn this study, 5-day-old seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana were exposed to 0, 0.5, and 1.0 mmol/L MnCl₂ for 6 days by using three independent biological replicates. The results indicated that Mn content in roots exhibited a dose-dependent increase with rising external Mn supply. The elevated Mn levels led to significant reductions in the nutrient content of K, Ca, Na, and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 18 Jul 2026 · 824 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordScreening of Dominant Cellulose-Degrading Microbe in Humus and Optimisation of its Enzyme Producing Conditions and Application Optimization of Enzyme Production Conditions and Evaluation of Efficient Straw Degradation by Penicillium oxalicumGailing Wang, Chendi Li, Yanan Guo et al.The slow degradation of returned straw adversely affects seedling survival rate. To shorten the degradation time of lignin in maize straw in warm temperate regions, a cellulolytic microbial strain that can secrete polymer with high enzymatic activity was isolated from the humus, which helped to identify an effective strain to expedite the decomposition of returned maize straw. Using the molecular … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 23 May 2023 · 5,300 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffect of Heavy Metals on the Enzymatic Activity of Haplic Chernozem under Model Experimental ConditionsNatalia Gromakova, Saglara Mandzhieva, Tatiana Minkina et al.The biological activity of soils is an essential parameter of their ecological status. The anthropogenic Heavy Metals (HMs) disturb the normal functioning of soil biota and, hence, the entire soil system. The aim of this work was to estimate the toxicity of loosely bound HM compounds in Haplic Chernozem using parameters of cellulose-degrading and urease activities. Contamination of Haplic Chernozem … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 23 Jul 2017 · 7,994 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOccupational Exposure of Pesticides on Activities of Alanine aminotransferase and γ-Glutamyltranspeptidase in Blood among Vegetables FarmersShamsul Bahari Shamsudin, T. Hang YapProblem statement: Most vegetable farmers are using agricultural chemicals on their farms. Many of these chemicals are used to control pests and are known as pesticides. Pesticides can be considered according to their chemical basis. Most of the more toxic pesticides fall into chemical groups of organophosphates, carbamates and bipyridyls. Approach: The general objective to study the level of liver … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 4 Oct 2011 · 7,938 accessesView PDF Cite
