glycine max trypsin inhibitor/atrophy

Experiment I: Female Syrian golden hamsters were given 5 weekly sc injections of N-nitrosobis (2-oxopropyl)amine (BOP) while simultaneously being treated with SBTI diet for 5 weeks (BOP+ SBTI). Other two groups were treated with BOP or SBTI alone. Sacrificed at week 30, the numbers of both

Rotavirus (RV) is considered to be one of the major causes of acute episodic diarrhoea throughout the world. This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of soybean trypsin inhibitor (TI) on brush-border enzymes during rotavirus infection in protein energy malnourished (PEM) infant mice.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of soybean trypsin inhibitor (TI) on glycine uptake, glutathione (GSH) levels and morphological changes of intestine in rotavirus (RV) infected infant mice. METHODS A total of 144 infant mice (7/8 days old) were divided in 3 groups (i.e. control, RV and RV +

Two chymotrypsin-like proteases were purified from the secretory and excretory material of first-instar larvae of Lucilia cuprina. The hydrolysis of N-succinyl-L-phenylalanine-nitroanilide was used to monitor the purification of these proteases which was achieved by affinity chromatography on

Alcohol-induced hypersecretion probably contributes to chronic alcoholic pancreatitis. Feeding of raw soybean flour or soybean trypsin inhibitor also stimulates protein secretion of the pancreas. Therefore, we tested whether or not the pancreatic damage is increased by additional feeding of raw

The activities of digestive protease within the midgut of Mamestra configurata (bertha armyworm) larvae were examined using specific substrates and protease inhibitors. The bulk of the activity was associated with serine proteases comprising trypsin-, chymotrypsin-, and elastase-like enzymes. At

Clonal mouse skeletal muscle cells which differentiate in culture and form synapses with neuronal cells were found to secrete high levels of protease activity as measured with an 125I-fibrin assay. The secreted proteolytic activity was more than 90% dependent upon the presence of plasminogen in the

The presence and activity of proteolytic enzymes has been investigated in vitro on soluble and insoluble preparations obtained from both unimplanted and implanted glutaraldehyde-treated bovine parietal pericardium. Using detection by colorimetric techniques, soluble preparations were shown to

Peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) is a post-translational modification enzyme that catalyzes deimination of arginine residues of proteins in the presence of calcium ions. There are three types of PAD in rodent tissues: PAD types I, II, and III [Terakawa et al. (1991) J. Biochem. 110, 661-666]. Type

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of different culture conditions on the survival and morphological phenotype of cultured acinar cells. Acinar fragments isolated from hamster pancreas were embedded in rat-tail collagen. Four groups were established: Medium 1-5% NuSerum + basic medium
