Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAcetylation Process and Antioxidant Activity of a Polysaccharide from Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) LeavesYiting Xue, Xiao Ding, Ze Zhang et al.Chemical modifications of polysaccharides can provide an opportunity to obtain new agents with possible therapeutic uses. In this study, a water-soluble polysaccharide extracted from Loquat Leaves (coded LLPs) was purified by the column chromatography, which was used to investigate its acetylation process by the acetic anhydride method. The Degree of Substitution (DS) was used as the index, the effect of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 1 Jan 2021 · 7,056 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPreparation, Characterization and Antioxidant Activity of a Novel Acetylated Polysaccharide from Flammulina VelutipesYingyun Peng, Han Jiang, Yufeng Wu et al.In this study, a novel polysaccharide FVP2a wasextracted and purified from F. velutipes. Ac-FVP2a was prepared bychemical acetylation. The preparation process of Ac-FVP2a was optimized usingthe response surface method based on three experimental factors includingreaction time, reaction temperature, and the ratio of FVP2a to aceticanhydride. The physicochemical characteristics andantioxidant activities of Ac-FVP2a in vitro were investigated. The results showed that … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 20 Sep 2022 · 5,207 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Nf-Kappa and HDCA and Implication of Oxidative Stress in Airway Inflammation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary DiseaseGhada A. Abdallah, Nevine M. Abd-Elfattah, Hala M. Ghanem et al.Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), due to its effect on proinflammatory gene transcription. Oxidants/antioxidants imbalance is responsible for disease development. The study was designed to assess oxidative stress and inflammation in COPD patients. The level of TNF-α and IL-8 in sputum and BAL were compared. NF-κB and HDAC were measured in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 4 Dec 2014 · 6,836 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHistone Tail Modifications of H3 and H4 during the Physarum polycephalum Cell CycleMarie-Claire Arnaud, Christophe ThirietProblem statement: Histone modifications are required for chromatin activities and are believed to form an epigenetic code. However, the inheritance of the histone post-translational modifications remains unclear. Approach and Results: The aim of this study was to evaluate the histone modifications throughout the cell cycle and to determine whether the histone marks are transferred to daughter cells. Using the naturally … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 29 May 2012 · 7,580 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConcentration and Physicochemical Properties of Chitosan Derivatives Determine the Induction of Defense Responses in Roots and Leaves of Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) PlantsAlejandro B. Falcón-Rodríguez, Juan C. Cabrera, Eduardo Ortega, Miguel Ángel Martínez-TéllezProblem statement: The chitosan derivatives promote diverse defensive responses in plants, which are affected by chitosan chemical features and concentration. Glucanase (EC 3.2.1.6), Phenylalanine Ammonia-Lyase (PAL, EC 4.3.1.5) and peroxidase (POD, EC 1.11.1.6) are key enzymes in tobacco defense responses. Thus, the aim of this study was to know the behavior of their enzymatic activity in leaves and roots of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 9,263 accessesView PDF Cite
