ananas fritzmuelleri/phosphatase

BACKGROUND Various parts of the plant pineapple (Ananas comosus) are used in traditional medicine worldwide for treatment of a number of diseases and disorders. In folk medicine, pineapple leaf extract was used as an antimicrobial, vermicide, purgative, emmenagoogue, abortifacient, anti-oedema and

OBJECTIVE To investigate the ability of the methanolic extract of pineapple peel to modulate alcohol-induced lipid peroxidation, changes in catalase activities and hepatic biochemical marker levels in blood plasma. METHODS Oxidative stress was induced by oral administration of ethanol (20% w/v) at a

Background: Aluminum (Al) has been reported to induce testicular injury via oxidative stress. Ananas comosus stem extract is an inexpensive byproduct waste rich in bromelain which is a group of sulfur-containing enzymes known for its

Bromelain belongs to a group of protein digesting enzymes obtained commercially from the fruit or stem of pineapple. Fruit bromelain and stem bromelainare prepared differently and they contain different enzymatic composition. "Bromelain" refers usually to the "stem bromelain." Bromelain is a mixture

BACKGROUND Pineapple (Ananas comosus) was demonstrated to be hepatoprotective. This study aims to investigate the reversing effects of pineapple vinegar on paracetamol-induced liver damage in murine model. METHODS Pineapple juice was fermented via anaerobic and aerobic fermentation to produce

The ice-nucleating bacterium Pantoea ananas KUIN-3 accumulated glucose in cells following a shift in temperature (10 degrees C) from the optimum growth temperature (30 degrees C). This accumulation might be caused by the activation of glucose-6-phosphatase. Although this strain after culturing at 30

The hydrolase content of vacuoles isolated from protoplasts of suspension-cultured tobacco cells, of tulip petals, and of pineapple leaves, and the sedimentation behavior of tobacco tonoplasts were studied. Three precautions were found to be important for the analysis of vacuolar hydrolases and of
