Effect of dietary lipid on collagen- and adenosine diphosphate-induced platelet aggregation and thromboxane A2 synthesis in the rat.

Only registered users can translate articles

Dietary lipids containing different proportions of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids can affect platelet thromboxane A(2) formation and aggregation. In the present work, the effects of dietary lipid, from animal and vegetable sources, on collagen- and adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced

Purification and characterization of adenosine diphosphate glucose pyrophosphorylase from maize/potato mosaics.

Only registered users can translate articles

Adenosine diphosphate glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) catalyzes a rate-limiting step in starch biosynthesis. The reaction produces ADP-glucose and pyrophosphate from glucose-1-P and ATP. Investigations from a number of laboratories have shown that alterations in allosteric properties as well as

Characterization of adenosine diphosphate glucose pyrophosphorylases from developing maize seeds.

Only registered users can translate articles

Electrophoretic examination of 22-day-old, normal maize (Zea mays L.) endosperm extracts revealed two zones of adenosine diphosphate glucose pyrophosphorylase activity. The enzymes are identical in terms of Km for glucose 1-phosphate and the effect of 3-phosphoglyceric acid on apparent Km for

A non-synonymous SNP within the isopentenyl transferase 2 locus is associated with kernel weight in Chinese maize inbreds (Zea mays L.).

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Kernel weight, controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTL), is an important component of grain yield in maize. Cytokinins (CKs) participate in determining grain morphology and final grain yield in crops. ZmIPT2, which is expressed mainly in the basal transfer cell layer, endosperm, and

Relative turnover numbers of maize endosperm and potato tuber ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylases in the absence and presence of 3-phosphoglyceric acid.

Only registered users can translate articles

Adenosine diphosphate glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase; EC 2.7.7.27) synthesizes the starch precursor, ADP-glucose. It is a rate-limiting enzyme in starch biosynthesis and its activation by 3-phosphoglyceric acid (3PGA) and/or inhibition by inorganic phosphate (Pi) are believed to be

Effects of curcumin on the activities of the enzymes that hydrolyse adenine nucleotides in platelets from cigarette smoke-exposed rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of curcumin (Cur) on the activity of ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase (CD39), 5'-nucleotidase (CD73) and adenosine deaminase in platelets of cigarette smoke-exposed rats. For that purpose, we subjected male Wistar rats to a

Response of enzymes and storage proteins of maize endosperm to nitrogen supply.

Only registered users can translate articles

To examine the effects of N nutrition upon endosperm development, maize (Zea mays) kernels were grown in vitro with either 0, 3.6, 7.1, 14.3, or 35.7 millimolar N. Kernels were harvested at 20 days after pollination for determination of enzyme activities and again at maturity for quantification of

Partial characterization of the in vitro activation of inactive pyruvate, pi dikinase from darkened maize leaves.

Only registered users can translate articles

In vitro activation of dark-inactivated pyruvate, orthophosphate dikinase extracted from maize (Zea mays L. cv. Golden Cross Bantam T51) leaves was examined. The inactive form of the enzyme and orthophosphate behaved kinetically as substrates for the reaction, which was catalyzed by an activating

Oxidation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate by isolated corn mitochondria.

Only registered users can translate articles

Isolated corn (Zea mays L.) mitochondria were found to oxidize reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate in a KCl reaction medium. This oxidation was dependent on the presence of calcium or phosphate or both. Strontium and manganese substituted for calcium, but magnesium or barium did not.

Nucleoside Diphosphate Sugar-Starch Glucosyl Transferase Activity of wx Starch Granules.

Only registered users can translate articles

Starch granule preparations from the endosperm tissue of all waxy maize (Zea mays L.) mutants tested have low and approximately equal capability to incorporate glucose from adenosine diphosphate glucose into starch. As the substrate concentration is reduced, however, the activity of waxy

Molecular mechanisms of action of styrene toxicity in blood plasma and liver.

Only registered users can translate articles

Styrene is an aromatic colorless hydrocarbon available in liquid form and highly volatile. In its pure form, it gives a sweet smell. The primary source of exposure in the environment is from plastic materials, rubber industries, packaging materials, insulations, and fiber glass and carpet industry.

Modulatory effect of eugenol on arginase, nucleotidase, and adenosine deaminase activities of platelets in a carrageenan-induced arthritis rat model: A possible anti-arthritic mechanism of eugenol.

Only registered users can translate articles

This study investigated the effect of eugenol on arginase, nucleotidase and adenosine deaminase activities in platelets of carrageenan-induced arthritic rat model to explain a possible anti-arthritic mechanism of eugenol. Fifty adult female rats (140-250 g) were divided into ten (10) groups (n = 5).

Kolaviron, a biflavonoid of Garcinia kola seed mitigates ischemic/reperfusion injury by modulation of pro-survival and apoptotic signaling pathways.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The study was designed to investigate the ameliorative effect of Kolaviron (KV) on ischemic/reperfusion injury in experimental animal models. METHODS Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: Group 1 received corn oil as a vehicle and rats in Group 2 were administered KV at
