Content of acid and neutral glycosphingolipids was distinctly higher in blood plasma and cells of patients with acute myocardium infarction as compared with healthy persons. In leukocytes of the patients activity of beta-galactosidase, exhibiting pH optimum at pH 3.6, was decreased with simultaneous
The present study demonstrated the protective effects of arbutin (ARB) on hyperlipidemia, mitochondrial, and lysosomal membrane damage and on the DNA damage in rats with isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial infarction (MI). Rats were pretreated with ARB (25 and 50 mg/kg body weight (bw)) for 21
The changes in the activities of certain lysosomal hydrolases, viz., beta-glucuronidase, beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase, beta-galactosidase, beta-glucosidase, alpha-glucosidase, alpha-galactosidase, alpha-mannosidase, cathepsin B, cathepsin D, and collagenolytic cathepsin, in serum and heart of rats
Myocardial infarction is one of the most common manifestations of cardiovascular disease. In the present study, we investigated the protective effect of betaine, a potent lipotropic molecule, on changes in the levels of lysosomal enzymes and lipid peroxidation in isoprenaline-induced myocardial
In this study, S-allyl cysteine sulfoxide (SACS) was used to evaluate its preventive effect in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial ischemia in male Wistar rats. Rats were pretreated with SACS (40 and 80 mg kg(-1)) orally for 5 weeks. After the treatment period, ISO (150 mg kg(-1)) was
beta-Galactosidase and associated activities (beta-glucosidase and beta-fucosidase) have been studied in rabbit and bovine liver and rabbit spleen. The physico-chemical (optimal pH, pI, MW) and kinetical (Km, Vmax, Ki) properties were determined for all the activities. Two enzyme forms were
BACKGROUND
Gaucher disease (GD) is a rare genetic lysosomal storage disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. GD is due to the deficiency of a lysosomal enzyme, acid beta-glucosidase (or glucocerebrosidase). Type 1 Gaucher disease (GD1) is characterized by thrombocytopenia, anemia, an
Diabetes mellitus is an independent risk factor for the development of coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. The treatment of diabetes has been mainly focused on maintaining normal blood glucose concentrations. Insulin and hypoglycemic agents have been used
Among Ashkenazi-Jews, Gaucher' disease, an autosomal-recessive hereditary genetic defect of sphingolipid metabolism, occurs more frequently than in the general population. Because of lack of the specific b-glucosidase, glucocerebrosidase, there is increased deposition of glucocerebrosides in the
Gaucher disease is a collection of related disorders of sphingolipid catabolism caused by the deficiency of a specific beta-glucosidase. The inefficiency of this enzyme, glucocerebrosidase, to degrade its natural substrate leads to the accumulation of the complex lipid glucocerebroside in tissue
Vascular calcification is often encountered in advanced atherosclerotic lesions and is a common consequence of aging. Calcification of the coronary arteries has been positively correlated with coronary atherosclerotic plaque burden, increased risk of myocardial infarction, and plaque instability.
This study was deliberated to aspire the effects of chlorogenic acid (CGA) against myocardial infarction (MI) induced by Isoproterenol (ISO), in a rat model. In the pathology of MI, enzymes released due to the mitochondrial and lysosomal lipid peroxidation play an integral role. Induction of rats
In Gaucher disease, a genetic deficiency in the activity of the lysosomal enzyme beta-glucocerebrosidase (acid beta-glucosidase) causes monocytes and macrophages to store excessive amounts of glucocerebroside in lysosomes. The resulting distended cells are called Gaucher cells, and the pathology
