Caracterización fisicoquímica de diferentes variedades de cebada cultivadas en la región centro de México

Rev. chil. nutr; 34 (1), 2007
The primary target of this investigation was to determine the chemical and physical composition of the different varieties of barley that are cultivated in the states of Hidalgo and Tlaxcala, and based on their composition, consider their potential uses in the food industry. Seven varieties of barleys cu...

The action of red scorpion (Mesobuthus tamulus coconsis, pocock) venom and its isolated protein fractions on blood sodium levels

Red scorpion (Mesobuthus tamulus or Buthus tamulus) venom samples were collected at different regions of India: western (Chiplun and Ahmednagar from Maharashtra State) and southern (Ratnagiri and Chennai from Tamil Nadu State). The action of whole venoms on the blood sodium levels of mice was assessed us...

Comparison of proteins, lethality and immunogenic compounds of Androctonus crassicauda (Olivier, 1807) (Scorpiones: Buthidae) venom obtained by different methods

Scorpions are venomous arthropods of the class Arachnida and are considered relatives of spiders, ticks and mites. There are approximately 1,500 species of scorpions worldwide, which are characterized by an elongated body and a segmented tail that ends in a venomous stinger. No specific treatment is avai...

Intraspecific variation in protein pattern of red scorpion (Mesobuthus tamulus, coconsis, pocock) venoms from Western and Southern India

Red scorpions Mesobuthus tamulus (Coconsis, Pocock) were obtained from different regions of West and South India (Ratnagiri, Chiplun and Ahmednagar from Maharashtra and Chennai from Tamil Nadu, respectively). Their venoms composition was analyzed using gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). All venom samples sh...

Bases moleculares de la función excretora de tipo hepatobiliar de la placenta
Molecular basis of excretory function placental hepatobiliary type

The liver plays an important excretory role eliminating from the body potentially toxic compounds that are xenobiotics or produced endogenously, such as bile acids and biliary pigments. This involves both transport and biotransformation processes. During intrauterine life, the inmature fetal liver cannot...

Evaluación de un ensayo inmunoenzimático recombinante como prueba confirmatoria en el diagnóstico de la sífilis

La sífilis es una de las infecciones de transmisión sexual más frecuentes, de amplia distribución mundial y que ha resurgido en grupos con conductas heterosexuales. Para su diagnóstico, control y vigilancia se necesitan pruebas confiables, recomendándose el uso combinado de métodos serológicos no...

Avaliação de níveis protéicos para a nutrição de juvenis de matrinxã (Brycon cephalus)
Evaluation of dietary protein contents for juvenile matrinxã (Brycon cephalus)

Acta amaz; 34 (2), 2004
O matrinxã (Brycon cephalus - Gunther, 1869), é uma espécie de peixe nativa da bacia Amazônica que tem despertado grande interesse entre pesquisadores e piscicultores de todo o Brasil. A crescente demanda pelo cultivo desta espécie em ambiente controlado se deve, principalmente, à sua pronta adapta...

Las fibras dietéticas viscosas no afectan la biodisponibilidad de los aminoácidos de la dieta
Viscous dietary fibers do not affect the bioavailability of amino acids of the diet

Viscous soluble fibers such as guar gum are extensively used by the food industry as thickening and stabilizing agents. Viscous soluble fibers are known to affect gastrointestinal carbohydrates kinetics, thereby improving glucose tolerance. Because very little is known about the impact of soluble viscous...

Influencia de las variantes genéticas de proteínas surfactantes en la susceptibilidad a la tuberculosis
Influence of genetic variants of surfactant proteins in the tuberculosis susceptibility

Los análisis de regresión identificaron variantes genéticas de proteínas surfactantes o alelos asociados con aumento o disminución del riesgo (susceptibilidad), lo que sugiere que las variantes genéticas son marcadores útiles para el estudio de la tuberculosis....

Proteínas. Organización estructural y enfermedad
Proteins. Structural organization and disease

Gac. méd. espirit; 4 (2), 2002
El tema de las proteínas constituye sin dudas uno de los aspectos más importantes que se abordan en el programa de la Biología Celular y Molecular, sin embargo, es un problema el hecho de la carencia de literatura que enfoca la estructura de las proteínas en relación con su conformación y su funciÃ...
