  Conclusions In summary, the present results showed that ageing diminished arginase activity only in clearance tissues and that l-arginine supplementation did not induce major changes in arginase activity thus refuting a role of arginase in the potential deleterious effects of l-arginine supplemen

  2025-02-06

  

  Two major categories of arginase inhibitors have been distinguished (Fig. 3): the first category comprises synthetic arginase inhibitors, which have been developed from the substrate l-arginine [35]; and the second category includes inhibitors derived from natural products [36]. The category of synt

  It was deduced empirically that the helix direction of the COOC torsion might relate to the sign of the peroxide Cotton effect. Huang reported ab initio calculation of the peroxide bond using MRDCI method and DZP basis set, but only the fragment CH3OOCH3 instead of full molecule was studied [19]. Si

  The 12/15-lipoxygenase pathway in the pancreatic islet and in diabetes mellitus Homeostasis of blood glucose is maintained by hormone secretion from the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. More specifically, insulin produced by the β o6 of the islet plays a major role in proper maintenance of blood

  Our results lead to the discovery and characterization of VvAAT2, a gene potentially involved in acetate accumulation in grape berries discovered through amino-acid feeding experiments. Incubation with exogenous amino acids has also been a key in the discovery of new genes affecting fruit aromas [13

  Introduction The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Ganoderma (G.) lucidum Karst is a well-known mushroom which has been used clinically in some Asian countries. It is termed “Lingzhi” in China, “Reishi” in Japan and “Yeongji” in Korea. It has long been used in TCM for the promotion of longevity

  Aldose reductase (AR), is an NADPH-dependent aldo-keto reductase very well studied as a catalyst of glucose conversion to sorbitol in the polyol pathway [11], [12]. In the diabetic lens characterized by chronically high levels of glucose, AR is responsible for production of high levels of sorbitol a

  We next considered the effect of alkyl chain length on the inhibitory activity. As can be seen from , it is obvious that there is no proportional relationship between the methylene chain length and activity. The activity decreased when the chain length increased from 1 to 3 and increased with elonga

  Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is one of the most widely used environmental chemicals in the production of polyvinyl chloride. After equine reserpine into human body, DEHP can be converted to the metabolite mono-ethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP), which has higher toxicity than DEHP and can influence

  As regards feeding, the ability to dissipate surplus energy in the form of heat is beneficial for animals if the protein concentration in the food is low, since it allows them then to meet the adequate protein intake requirement without getting fat. Some of the major dietary activators of the AHR ar

  2025-02-05

  

  Lipotoxicity is the accumulation of excess lipids in non-adipose tissues that leads to cell dysfunction or cell death. It may play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetes, and contributes to the rate of progression of CKD [7,8]. Emerging evidence indicates that renal lipid dysregulation is

  Apoptosis or programmed cell death is a function of biochemical mechanisms, which are energy-dependent. It is considered to be a vital component of many processes such as normal cell cycle, immune mechanism, atrophy, embryonic development and toxin-induced cell death (Elmore, 2007). In addition, apo

  In humans, the major LOs are subdivided by their positional specificity into 5-(ALOX5), 12-(ALOX12) and 15-LO (ALOX15) (Kuhn et al., 2015). 5-LO is the key enzyme for LT biosynthesis and mainly found in mature cells from myeloid origin, including neutrophil, eosinophil and basophil granulocytes, mon
