It has been suggested that respiratory stress is involved in the mechanism underlying the dormancy-breaking effect of hydrogen cyanamide (H2CN2) and sodium azide in grapevine buds; indeed, reductions in oxygen levels (hypoxia) and inhibitors of respiration promote bud-break in grapevines. In this
Tolerance to low oxygen availability is likely to be due to the interaction of several factors. Sugar availability is one of the elements required to support anaerobic metabolism. In cereal grains the availability of soluble sugars is limited, while starch is stored in large amounts. Degradation of
Elevated serum amylase activity, in the absence of clinically apparent pancreatic or salivary gland disease, has been observed in many seemingly unrelated conditions. In a search for common etiological factors to account for hyperamylasemia in these conditions, a retrospective analysis was
OBJECTIVE
To assess the circadian variations in salivary immunoglobin A (sIgA) and alpha-amylase activity (sAA), biomarkers of mucosal immune function, together with mood during 2 weeks of repeated sprint training in hypoxia (RSH) and normoxia (RSN).
METHODS
Over a 2-week period, 17 competitive
Rhizomes of Acorus calamus L. were able to maintain a functional alpha-amylase under anoxia, whereas a steep decrease in the enzyme protein content and activity took place in potato tubers. The stress-induced control in tubers occurred on the translational level. It is suggested that this decrease
The unique capability of rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings to grow under anoxic conditions may result in part from their ability to express alpha-amylase and maintain the supply of sugar needed for energy metabolism. Previous studies have demonstrated that under aerobic conditions the Amy1 and Amy2
For special studies on pancreatic diseases a parameter is needed to record alterations of the cellular energy metabolism. In the in vitro model of isolated pancreatic acini, we investigated whether or not at standardized cholecystokinin stimulation the energy-consuming process of enzyme secretion
Physiological and metabolic responses to anoxia were compared for aerobically germinated seedlings of barley (Hordeum vulgare), oat (Avena sativa) and rice (Oryza sativa). Coleoptile growth of barley, oat and rice seedlings was suppressed by a 24 h-anoxic stress, but the growth of the rice
Rice has the unique ability to express alpha-amylase under anoxic conditions, a feature that is critical for successful anaerobic germination and growth. Previously, anaerobic conditions were shown to up-regulate the expression of Amy3 subfamily genes (Amy3B/C, 3D, and 3E) in rice embryos. These
Present study deals with the straight impact of hypobaric hypoxia on the quantity and composition of some predominant fecal microflora and its functional aspects. For that, isolated fecal contents of rat were exposed to two different simulated air pressures (70 kPa and 40 kPa) for different time
Germination is an effective biofortification strategy to enhance micronutrients of staple grains. The current study targeted at comparing the effects of normoxia and hypoxia on γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) content and the componential changes underlying the technofunctionality of germinated wheat.
The effects of acute hypoxia (2 days at 4350 m) on whole saliva flow and composition were studied on 12 sea-level natives, at rest and following a maximal exercise. Exercise, performed in normoxia and hypoxia, did not induce variations in saliva flow rate, saliva potassium or alpha-amylase
To explore the bread making characteristics of germinated wheat flour, the current study focused on the componential evolution throughout the steamed bread making process. Hypoxia-germinated wheat (HGW) dough produced the maximum γ-aminobutyric acid as a result of high glutamic acid decarboxylase
Purpose: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disorder distinguished by tissue injury and inflammation of the pancreas. Using paracrine potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) provides a useful clinical approach in treating inflammatory diseases. We investigated the therapeutic
Hypoxia is one of the most frequently occurring stressors confronted by industrial cultures of sea cucumber and can cause large economic losses and resource degradation. However, its responsive mechanisms are still lacking. In this paper, the physiological responses of Apostichopus japonicus to
