It is known that 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), which induces Parkinson's-like disease in primates and humans, depletes hepatocytes of ATP and subsequently causes cell death. Incubation of rat liver ...

Anthrax lethal toxin (LT) comprises two proteins: the protective antigen (PA) and the lethal factor (LF). The LT is cytotoxic to macrophage-like cell line J774A.1. Pre-treatment of these cells with neomycin, a phospholipase ...

The presence of heavy metals in environment has become a major issue due to their toxicity for living beings. Among the most toxic heavy metals, the Lead and Cadmium are most abundantly found in natural water bodies and ...

The present study clearly indicates that sewage sludge / fly ash and amendment of their mixture modified the characteristics of agricultural farm soil. Organic C, nitrogen, available P etc. increased in soil due to sewage ...

60% of guineapigs inoculated intracaecally with Entamoeba histolytica strain E-13 developed caecal ulceration. Guineapigs inoculated only with Escherichia coli (the bacterium associated with Entamoeba histolytica in culture) ...

Based on the hypothesis that immune outcome can be influenced by the form of antigen administered and its ability to access various antigen‐processing pathways, we targeted the 63 kDa fragment of protective antigen (PA) ...

Kinetic parameters (Km and Vmax) of renal brush border membrane (BBM) enzymes alkaline phosphatase, maltase, leucine aminopeptidase and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase were worked out in control, infected and immunized-infected ...

Quinoline is a heterocyclic scaffold of paramount importance to human race. Several annulated quinoline derivatives possess variety of biological activities such as antimalarial, antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer ...

Anthrax toxin consists of three proteins, protective antigen, lethal factor, and edema factor. Protective antigen translocates lethal factor and edema factor to the cytosol of mammalian cells. The amino-termini of lethal ...

Over the years it has been important for humans to control the populations of harmful insects and insecticides have been used for this purpose in agricultural and horticultural sectors. Synthetic insecticides, owing to ...
