Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNeuropharmacological Assessment of an Aqueous Bark Extract of Antiaris toxicaria (Pers.) Lesch. (Moraceae) in RodentsPriscilla K. Mante, Donatus W. Adongo, Kennedy K.E. Kukuia et al.Antiaris toxicaria is a plant traditionally used in Ghana for the treatment of various neurological conditions such as epilepsy and pain. This present study therefore seeks to screen for the neuropharmacological activities of the aqueous extract of Antiaris toxicaria (AAE) stem bark. The effect of Antiaris extract on pentobarbital-induced sleeping time, tail immersion test, spontaneous locomotor activity, motor coordination, PTZ-induced … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 27 Nov 2012 · 7,796 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesInternalizing Versus Non-internalizing Receptors for Targeting L-Methioninase to Cancer CellsXiao-Ping Zang, Naveen R. Palwai, J. T. Pento, Roger G. HarrisonWe reported previously that L-methioninase targeted to the urokinase receptor of MCF-7 breast cancer cells is significantly more effective in inhibiting cell proliferation and migration than free L-methioninase both in vitro and in vivo. L-methioninase was targeted by linking at its amino terminus to an amino-terminal fragment (ATF) of urokinase. The ATF was selected for targeting because is has previously … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,818 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesUltrastructural Evidences of Hepatitis B Infection in Human Liver Biopsies Disclose Complex Assembly and Morphogenesis Pathways for Hepatitis B VirusViviana Falcon, Ivon Menéndez, Nelson Acosta-Rivero et al.Despite of recent advances on acknowledge of hepatitis B virus (HBV) structure and biology, little is known about the morphogenesis and release of virions. In this study, the ultrastructural analysis of HBV components in liver biopsies from chronically HBV-infected patients disclosed complex assembly and morphogenesis pathways for HBV. HBV core (HBcAg) and surface (HBsAg) antigens were specifically identified in all … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,094 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Enzymatic Role of Lipid Metabolism in Yarrowia lipolytica Grown on GlycerolRuixue Wang, Feifei Xin, Yufei Chang et al.More attention has been paid to the production of commercial fatty acids by microbial fermentation. The basic biochemistry of lipid accumulation in oleaginous microorganisms under nitrogen limitation has been extensively studied. As an oleaginous microorganism, Yarrowia lipolytica can produce fatty acid-derived biofuels and biochemicals. However, the response of the enzymes in Y. lipolytica to glycerol remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 17 Apr 2023 · 6,316 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTranscriptomic Analysis of the Erythritol High-Yielding Mutant Strain Yarrowia lipolytica Y44Xiaojie Ren, Heng Ban, Chao Huang et al.RNA-seq technique was used to analyze the transcriptomics of Yarrowia lipolytica control strain Po1g, an erythritol-producing natural isolate Yarrowia lipolytica Y 22 and an erythritol high-yielding mutant strain Y44 derived from Y 22. Functional annotation of genes and classification of metabolic pathways were carried out to identify Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs). These DEGs were classified into related metabolic pathways to … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2021 · 6,119 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractESR and FT-IR Studies on GeO2 Substituted Lead Vanadate Semiconducting Glass SystemP. Tejeswara RaoA series of Germania-lead-vanadium pentoxide glasses with x=5, 10 and 15 mol% were prepared by melt quenching technique and they were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) techniques. X-ray diffraction results reveal that all samples are perfect amorphous in nature. Differential scanning calorimetry results indicate that the substituent … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 19 Apr 2019 · 6,796 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScreening of Lactic Acid Bacteria for Antifungal Activity against Aspergillus oryzaeBelal Jamal Muhialdin, Zaiton HassanProblem statement: The growth of spoilage fungi have been a global concern because of the economy loses and the health hazard of the mycotoxins produced by the spoilage fungi. Approach: A total of 137 lactic acid bacteria isolated from Malaysian fruits and fermented foods were screened for antifungal activity using dual agar overlay method and well method against A. oryzae. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 May 2011 · 7,967 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Cooling and Supplemental Bovine Somatotropin on Milk Production relating to Body Glucose Metabolism and Utilization of Glucose by the Mammary Gland in Crossbred Holstein CattleSiravit Sitprija, Somchai Chanpongsang, Narongsak ChaiyabutrProblem statement: The low milk yield and shorter persistency of lactation of dairy cattle is the major problem for the dairy practices in the tropics. High environmental temperatures and rapid decline of plasma growth hormone level can influence milk production. Regulation of the milk yield of animals is mainly based on the mechanisms governing the quantity of glucose extracted by … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,346 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpairment of Retrograde Neuronal Transport in Cardiac Vagal Motoneurons in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats: A Wheat Ger Agglutinin-Horseradish Peroxidase Neurohistochemical studyA. Odekunle, C.M. PhillipsCentral projections of vagal motoneurons to the heart were studied in diabetic rats using Wheat germ Agglutinin-Horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP). Experimental rats were rendered diabetic by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin in citrate buffer. The diabetic rats were maintained in a stable diabetic state by daily injection of insulin for 24 weeks. Age-matched control rats were injected intraperitoneally with citrate buffer not … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,744 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of Biopterin Transporter (BT1) Gene on Growth and Infectivity of LeishmaniaManju Jain, Vandana S. Dole, Peter J. Myler et al.Leishmania are known to be auxotrophic for pteridines that are known to play a critical role in the parasites survival. In the present work the role of biopterin transporter in the growth of the parasite and infectivity in to macrophages has been worked out.
