A collection of Streptococcus sanguinis strains from patients with endocarditis (n = 21) and from the oral cavity (n = 34) was subjected to a multi-locus sequence typing analysis using seven housekeeping genes, carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase (carB), Co/Zn/Cd efflux system component (czcD),
The effect of cavity preparation, calcium hydroxide and a corticosteroid on pulpal enzymes (Alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, beta-glucuronidase, cytochrome oxidase and succinate, lactate and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) in monkey teeth has been studied by histochemical means. Cavity
Apert syndrome is characterized by midface hypoplasia, syndactyly of the hands and feet, proptosis of eyes, steep and flat frontal bones, and premature union of cranial sutures. Maxillary hypoplasia, deep palatal vault, anterior open bite, crowding of the dental arch, severely delayed tooth
Four diets with differing lipid contents (15, 20, 25 or 30% DM) were tested on small (initial body weight: 27 g) and larger (IBW: 93 g) rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fed on demand or by hand, respectively. In both trials, voluntary feed intake was inversely related to dietary lipid levels.
Human African trypanosomiasis, Chagas disease, and leishmaniasis are human infections caused by kinetoplastid parasites of the genera Trypanosoma and Leishmania. Besides their severity and global impact, treatments are still challenging. Currently available drugs have important limitations,
Cathepsin D, acid phosphatase, beta-galactosidase, N-acetyl hexosaminidase, leucine aminopeptidase (LAP), lactate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g-6-PDH), and peroxidase activities were measured in the buccal mucosa of rats kept for 60 days on high-sucrose (68% of sucrose)
In rats receiving a protein-poor diet for 60 days (4% caloric share of casein) the activity of beta-galactosidase, beta-N-acetyl glucose aminidase, acid proteinases, acid phosphatase, acetyl estherase, catalase, glutathione reductase, monoamine oxidase (MAO), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and
A new cell line (B-25F) obtained from a benign polypoid fibrous lesion of the mucosa of oral cavity is described. The cells at first grew in suspension but after a month of cultivation they began to adhere and subsequently formed a monolayer typical for fibroblastoid cells. Population doubling time
The effect of dietary vitamin E supplementation upon macrophage metabolism and function was examined in aged rats fed a balanced or a polyunsaturated-rich diet. The following parameters were studied: number of cells in the intraperitoneal cavity, maximal activity of hexokinase, citrate synthase,
The majority of studies describing demographics and co-occurring conditions in cohorts with Down syndrome come from regions outside of the Middle East, mainly from Europe and North America. This paper describes demographics and co-occurring conditions in a hospital-based cohort of individuals with
It was previously shown that polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acid rich diets affected metabolic and functional changes in macrophages and a variety of immune tissues (thymus, mesenteric lymph nodes and spleen). This study reports metabolic and functional changes in peritoneal macrophages and
The present study was conducted on bone tissue responses to irradiation towards a treatment model of mandibular irradiation injury by comparing the results of experimental observations of irradiation effects on rabbit hind legs and rat mandibular bones (paper I, II and III) with clinical
In the fully grown Bufo arenarum oocyte, carbohydrate breakdown during the autumn-winter season is accomplished mainly through the glycolytic pathway followed by the Krebs cycle. During the breeding season (spring-summer), carbohydrates are used mainly through the pentose phosphate cycle and through
OBJECTIVE
Band 3 is a transmembrane protein of erythrocytes and its cytosolic part regulates glucose metabolism to proceed along the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) or glycolytic pathway by binding with the central cavity of the β chain of deoxygenated hemoglobin and with some glycolytic enzymes
The effect of a synthetic antioxidant 2-tretbutyl-3-hydroxypyridine (TBHP) on the function of murine peritoneal macrophages (MP) has been studied. A direct contact of TBHP with MP in vitro increased the activity of a key enzyme of glucose monophosphate graft--glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and
