Studies were conducted to determine the in vitro effect of selected food components on activity of the brush border membrane pteroylpolyglutamate hydrolase (folate conjugase) of porcine and human intestine. Foods differed widely in their effects although the pattern of the effects on both porcine
A comprehensive study on digestive trypsin was undertaken in the larval midgut of Pieris brassicae L. Results of enzymatic compartmentalization showed a significantly higher activity of crude trypsin in the anterior larval midgut rather than posterior-midgut. Using Diethylaminoethyl cellulose fast
The midgut protease profiles from 5th instar Mamestra configurata larvae fed various diets (standard artificial diet, low protein diet, low protein diet with soybean trypsin inhibitor [SBTI], or Brassica napus) were characterized by one-dimensional enzymography in gelatin gels. The gut protease
