Medicinal properties of Bulbine natalensis

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Bulbine natalensis Baker is a medicinal plant with succulent, aloe-like leaves from the Asphodelaceae family, commonly used by traditional healers to treat blood clotting-related diseases. This research tested the anti-platelet aggregation effect of B.natalensis` extracts on rat platelet aggregation separately induced by thrombin, ADP, collagen, epinephrine, papain, bromelain and trypsin. Fresh plant material was extracted sequentially using hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol, and water. The chloroform extract had the highest yield. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of anthraquinones, cardiac glycosides, saponins, tannins, flavonoids and alkaloids. The hexane extract revealed the highest contents of total phenols, flavonoids and proanthocyanidin. Hexane extract also displayed the highest ABTS scavenging activity. Studies reveal that B.natalensis is a good antioxidant. Anti-platelet aggregation activities on rat platelets were observed. The chloroform extract inhibited ADP-induced clotting by 100%. Two compounds were isolated but they were unstable. Based on the spectra obtained and comparing to existing literature data, they were envisaged to be a knipholone. ····· 1036120256

Hyperspectral imaging of nanoparticle and single molecule detection

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The detection of biomolecules at single molecule sensitivity is critical to the study of live cell dynamics to explore a variety of biological processes. In this work, gold nanoparticles were used as intercellular sensors because they do not photobleach, are nontoxic, and rich in electrons which are needed for enhancement to develop a robust method. Another significant advantage is that these nanosensors work in a 3D space, thereby enabling live cell process monitoring. A hyperspectral imaging system was designed and installed to detect various target biomolecules, and eventually, the intracellular biomolecule detection was demonstrated. it is shown that both dark field and the Raman hyperspectral imaging systems are good for gold nanoparticle hyperspectral imaging. Dark field is a perfect tool to collect surface plasmonic resonance directly by Rayleigh scattering, with many validated applications. On the other hand, Raman spectroscopy is not known as a surface plasmon resonance sensor. In this reseach, dark field HSI was built for various applications including intracellular mRNA detection. The mechanism of plasmon resonance sensor was also studied using Raman spectroscopy. ····· 1036120111

Alternative modalities for secondary osteoporosis

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Glucocorticoids-induced osteoporosis is the most common form of secondary osteoporosis. Glucocorticoids seem to cause bone loss primarily by suppressing osteoblastic functions. This book, therefore, provides new insights for the protective and therapeutic effects of leptin, dehydroepiandrosterone, growth hormone and calcitonin on predinsolone-induced osteoporosis in rats. The study focused to elucidate the effective role of the studied hormones on both organic matrix and inorganic components of bone and on the process of bone resorption and formation in long term predinsolone administration. Our finding could be useful for the future strategies against side effect of long term administration of glucocorticoids on bone turnover and implicitly osteoporosis progression. ····· 1036120105

Protein Phosphorylation and Dephosphorylation

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Post-translational phosphorylation is one of the most common protein modifications that occur in animal cells. The vast majority of phosphorylation occurs as a mechanism of acute and reversible regulation of protein function. Studies of mammalian cells metabolically labeled with p32 orthophosphate suggest that as many as one-third of all cellular proteins are covalently modified by protein phosphorylation. Covalent attachment of a phosphate group to an amino acid side chain of a protein can cause a structural change, for example, by attracting a cluster of positively charged side chains. Such a change occurring at one site in a protein can in turn alter the protein s conformation elsewhere. Reversible protein phosphorylation is the predominant strategy used to control the activity of proteins in eukaryotic cells. The phosphates are transferred from ATP molecules by protein kinases and are taken off by protein phosphatases. In animal cells, serine, threonine and tyrosine are the amino acids subjected to phosphorylation. The protein kinases belong to a large family of enzymes, which contain a similar amino acid catalytic (kinase) domains. ····· 1036120033

Antifungal Peptide Modeling, Folding and Mimetic Design

····· lezzter Preis 44.10€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The antifungal peptides represent diverse structures for drug design. Unfortunately, they provide inferior drug candidates because of their low oral bioavailability, potential immunogenicity, poor in vivo metabolic stability and high molecular weight. Recent efforts have focused on the creation of non-natural peptide mimetics. Their artificial backbone makes most peptidomimetics resistant to degradative enzymes, thus, increasing the stability of peptidomimetic drugs in the body. In the present study, four antifungal peptidomimetics structures named C1 to C4 were designed based on the antifungal decapeptide crystallized structure of Pep-1 using bioinformatics tools. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of these structures were estimated against Aspergillus niger N402, Candida albicans ATCC 10231, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae PTCC 5052. It was demonstrated that the N-terminal part of antifungal peptides is more active and important for antifungal activity than the C-terminal. Also, important factors/descriptors of 63 antifungal peptides have been studied using Artificial Neural Network (ANN). ····· 1036120023

Exo- and Endo-glucanase Activities of Aulacophora abdominalis

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Cellulose is used as a food source by many organisms. Plant fibers are major components of ruminant diets, and the anaerobic microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi and protozoa, inhabiting the rumen ecosystem play a vital role in their digestion. Thus cattle and sheep have symbiotic microorganisms in their rumen that produce various cellulases and hemicellulases. Cellulolytic enzymes have been isolated from rumen fungi and some of them are well characterized. Previous dogma has maintained that cellulose, ingested by xylophagous or herbivorous animals, is digested by cellulolytic symbiotes. The first evidence in conflict with this contention involved the demonstration of cellulolytic activities in symbiote-free secreting organs (e.g., the salivary glands of termites) or defaunated guts. It is now clear that cellulases are produced endogenously in a number of invertebrate taxa that includes insects, crustaceans, annelids, molluscs and nematodes, as well as by micro-organisms such as bacteria, fungi and protozoans . The ability of animals to hydrolyze cellulose in the absence of microorganisms has been the subject of various studies. ····· 1036119846

····· lezzter Preis 61.20€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Allium is an important genus of family Amarylliadaceae, has 700 species, confined mainly to the northern temperate and alpine zones of the world. In Uttarakhand Himalayas about 15 less explored Allium species are found. Over exploitation of the wild Allium have led to considerable shrinking of the populations of Allium species. The study is targeted at the bio-chemical composition, mineral analysis, amino acid contents, DNA finger printing and phyto-chemical evaluation of four economically important and less explored Allium species namely: 1. Allium auriculatum Kunth.2. Allium ampeloprasum L.3. Allium ascalonicum L.4. Allium rubellum M. Bieb. It is concluded from the study that aerial and underground parts of these less explored Allium species have excellent neutraceutical properties, due to presence of ample quantity of nutrients, antioxidants, minerals, amino acid contents etc. These species can contribute significantly to meet out the nutritional requirement of growing population .In future, these plants species could be used not only as condiments for flavoring different food stuffs but also as green vegetables due to their demonstrated good nutritional qualities. ····· 1036119498

Into the Membrane and Beyond

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Membrane proteins fulfil a wide variety of essential functions in the cell and many are (potential) drug targets. Since their natural abundance is usually very low, most membrane proteins have to be over-expressed for functional and structural studies. Unfortunately, over-expression of membrane proteins in E. coli is usually toxic. I have studied the effects of the expression of membrane proteins, including the human KDEL receptor, on BL21(DE3) and its derivatives. Saturation of the Sec translocon, a cytoplasmic membrane associated protein conducting channel that mediates the insertion/ biogenesis of membrane proteins, appeared to be the prime reason for the toxicity of membrane protein over-expression. The obtained data have resulted in many leads and ideas to further improve membrane protein over-expression yields in E. coli, e.g. we have engineered a plasmid (pLemo) that helps avoiding saturation of the Sec translocon upon membrane protein over-expression in E. coli. ····· 1036119387

Incretin Hormones & Oxidative DNA Damage in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Type 2 diabetes is usually caused by a combination of pancreatic -cell failure and insulin resistance in target tissues like liver, muscle and fat. Insulin resistance is characterized by an impaired effect of insulin to reduce hepatic glucose production and to promote glucose uptake in peripheral tissues. Many new pharmacological agents have been added to our armamentarium of treatments for DM in the last decade. The goal of all treatments is the same irrespective of the cause of the DM: namely, to normalize blood glucose. Incretin hormones (Glucagon like peptide, GLP and Glucose dependent insulinotropic peptide, GIP) are peptide hormones secreted by enteroendocrine cells that line the gastrointestinal (GIT) tract mainly from K & L cells of intestine, Following glucose or fat ingestion. These hormones are secreted in the blood and reach their various cellular targets. This study was done to: 1- Clarify the insulinotropic effect of the incretin hormones in the regulation of blood glucose level. 2- Show the interrelation between incretin hormones, the degree of metabolic control and oxidative stress in type 2 diabetes mellitus ····· 1036119365

Protein Stabilised Foams and Emulsions

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
A critical analysis of research papers by the author on the interfacial mechanisms controlling the stability of protein stabilised foams and emulsions. Proteins can stabilise foams and emulsions, by forming a visco-elastic adsorbed layer on the surface of the bubbles and droplets. The influence of protein molecular structure and the competitive adsorption of surfactants on the interfacial properties and the subsequent effects on foam and emulsion stability are presented. Approaches to increase the resistance to competitive adsorption through using hydrophobic proteins and highly elastic interfaces are described. The displacement of proteins from interfaces by surfactants was found to be a physical displacement process which heavily depended on the visco-elasticity of the protein adsorbed layer. Finally, approaches to protect foams against competitive destabilisation using lipid binding proteins, and non-covalent crosslinking proteins at the interface are shown. This caused in increase in surface elasticity, and hence improved foam stability. ····· 1036119131

Mitochondrial Outer Membrane Channel and TEM

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Mitochondria mediated programmed cell death is still an enigma, largely fuelled by the little known mechanism of important Inter Membrane Space (IMS) protein release in the cytosol from the mitochondria. These proteins start execution phase of apoptosis in many cells, initializing the death of the cell. This book proposes a novel idea and supports it by ample and appropriate evidences.Ceramide (sphingolipid), self assembles to forms a channel in the Mitochondrial Outer Membrane (MOM), to mediate IMS protein release at the onset of apoptosis. This book, for the first time provides direct structural evidence of the channel. Until now all published data were functional in nature. Transmission electron micrographs and its software-assisted analysis (structural) were compared with electrophysiological data (functional),to show the nice convergence between them. The data presented in the book therefore relies on self-validation by comparing data from different sources. This book will be a great tool for advanced students and researchers interested in the field of apoptosis, which has an intertwined relation with cancer. The book thus will help eradicate this deadly disease. ····· 1036119023

Anticancer activity of a Schiff base cobalt (II) complexes synthesized from cobalt (II) acetate, salicylaldehyde and glycin, viz. (SGCo)2 [N-salicylidene glycinato diaqua cobalt(II) dimer] has been studied against Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) cells in Swiss albino mice by monitoring the parameters like tumor weight, survival time, cell growth rate etc. It has been found that (SGCo)2 at dose 10 mg/kg (i.p.) significantly decreases tumor weight (by 54%), increases life span (by 62%) and reduces tumor cell growth rate (by 74%) in comparison to those of EAC cell bearing mice. It has also found that the compound has no long term toxic effect to the host. This compound can, therefore, be considered as a probable new potent anticancer agent. The efficiency is more or less comparable to that of standard drug bleomycin (at dose 0.3 mg/kg i.p.). Further experiments involving advanced techniques are necessary with other cell lines to find out its applicability as a new anticancer drug for future. The compound is also found to be moderately active as an antibacterial agent when tested against some pathogenic bacteria (S. sonnei, E. coli etc) and as an insecticide (against T. castaneum). ····· 1036118839

Antioxidant Activity of Phenolic Compounds in Cell Culture Systems

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
ROS and their proven involvement in some human physiopathologies have drawn significant interest over the last few decades. Oxidative stress has been associated with many diseases such as cancers. The development of disease can be attributed to the oxidative alteration of molecules such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acids by ROS. The human body has developed its own defence system to deal with oxidative stress, but certain external factors such as UVR may result in elevated cellular ROS concentrations, overwhelming the body s defence system thus leading to disease. To neutralize this effect, exogenic antioxidants particularly polyphenols, may be helpful to counteract ROS by preventing oxidation caused by ROS. To assess the antioxidant capacity of selected phenols, polyphenolic compounds were successfully synthesized in this study through biocatalytic reactions using phenol oxidases, to produce natural polyphenols suggested to have higher antioxidant activity than their monomers. Production of natural antioxidants was significantly considered for eventual consumer satisfaction and world market success if putative antioxidant were to go market. ····· 1036118814
