Nucleoside diphosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase activities were both found to be very high in extracts of soybean (Glycine max L.) root nodules. Both activities increased early in soybean nodule development, prior to the rise in leghemoglobin, and both were found at equivalent levels in nitrogenfixing
Gentamicin (GM) is one of the most important of the aminoglycoside antibiotics used widely for the treatment of serious and life-threatening infections and whose clinical use is limited by its nephrotoxicity. As the pathogenesis of GM-induced renal dysfunction and injury involves reactive oxygen
The present study investigated the modulatory role of phenolic extract of soybean (PESB) in a rat model of nephrotoxic acute renal failure induced by cisplatin. Cisplatin (2 mg/kg/day) was administered to the rats for 5 days and the animals were pretreated with PESB (250-1000 mg/kg). Blood urea
Soybean (Glycine max) and pea (Pisum sativum) differ in the transport of fixed nitrogen from nodules to shoots. The dominant nitrogen transport compounds for soybean are ureides, while amides dominate in pea. A possible enzymic basis for this difference was examined.The level of enzymes involved in
The appearance of enzymes involved in the formation of ureides, allantoin, and allantoic acid, from inosine 5'-monophosphate was analyzed in developing root nodules of soybean (Glycine max). Concomitant with development of effective nodules, a substantial increase in specific activities of the
