Four acidic glutathione (GSH) transferase forms were isolated from the cytosol of the adult cestode Hymenolepis diminuta by hydroxylapatite chromatography, glutathione-affinity chromatography and chromatofocusing, pH 7-5. The enzymes were dimers of subunit size approximately 24 kDa and accounted for

The aim of this study was to assess the intensity of oxidative stress by measuring levels of lipid peroxidation products in the duodenum, jejunum and colon of rats infected with Hymenolepis diminuta and evaluate the effectiveness of protection against oxidative stress by measuring the glutathione

Development in vitro of cysticercoids of the cestode Hymenolepis diminuta in the presence of L-cysteine proceeded twice as rapidly under 100% nitrogen as it did with air as the gas phase. No growth was obtained with the following: D-cysteine, L-cysteine methyl ester, S-aminoethyl cysteine,

Like mammalian cells, helminth parasites are equipped with an array of enzymatic anti-oxidant system which has an adaptive strategy to cope up with several conditions of stress that arise from host immune response or drug treatment. Earlier, we had reported that three species of Senna, viz. S.

The major pathways for cysteine catabolism in Hymenolepis diminuta have been investigated. The parasite has an active cystathionine-beta-synthase and, as in other tissues, this enzyme has a wide substrate specificity. However, the enzyme from H. diminuta differs significantly from the mammalian

The drug-metabolizing enzymes of some helminths can deactivate anthelmintics and therefore partially protect helminths against these drugs' toxic effect. The aim of our study was to assess the activity of the main drug-metabolizing enzymes and evaluate the metabolism of selected anthelmintics

Hymenolepis nana is the most commonly known intestinal cestode infecting mainly human. This study aimed to investigate the potential effect of chitosan particles (CSP) to enhance the immune system against H. nana infection. Determination of worm burden, egg output, histopathological changes,

Many helminths cause long-lasting infections, living for several years in mammalian hosts reflecting a well balanced coexistence between host and parasite. There are many possible explanations as to how they can survive for lengthy periods. One possibility is their antioxidant systems, which can
