Distribution and expression of visfatin-positive cells in the spleen of lipopolysaccharide-stimulated piglets

Int. j. morphol; 32 (4), 2014
The histological changes in the spleen and the immunohistochemical expression of visfatin in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated piglets are reported to examine the relation between visfatin and inflammation. The results are as follows: (1) After LPS treated, the spleen displayed thicker capsules and trabecula...

Falla de respuesta anticorpórea frente a antígenos polisacáridos: serie de casos

Arch. argent. pediatr; 112 (6), 2014
La falla de respuesta anticorpórea frente a antígenos polisacáridos es una inmunodeficiencia primaria humoral definida como una pobre respuesta frente a antígenos polisacáridos contenidos en la vacuna antineumocócica de 23 serotipos, con inmunoglobulinas normales y respuesta adecuada frente a antí...

Effects of oligosaccharides from endophytic Fusarium oxysporum Dzf17 on activities of defense-related enzymes in Dioscorea zingiberensis suspension cell and seedling cultures

Electron. j. biotechnol; 17 (4), 2014
Background Three oligosaccharides (EOS, WOS and SOS) were respectively prepared from the corresponding polysaccharides, namely exopolysaccharide (EPS), water-extracted mycelial polysaccharide (WPS) and sodium hydroxide-extracted mycelial polysaccharides (SPS) from the endophytic fungus Fusarium oxysporum...

Formulation, in vitro drug release and in vivo human X-ray investigation of polysaccharide based drug delivery systems for targeting 5-fluorouracil to the colon

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 49 (2), 2013
The purpose of this research study was to develop 5-fluorouracil compression coated tablets by using biodegradable polysaccharide polymer locust bean gum (LBG) and hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) as coating materials. The fast disintegrating core tablets containing 50 mg of 5-fluorouracil were co...

Analysis of two drying methods on the yield and activity of sulfated polysaccharides extracted from Halymenia sp (Rhodophyceae)

Acta sci., Biol. sci; 34 (1), 2012
Sulfated polysaccharides (SPs) have attracted growing interest for various biotechnological applications. We evaluated the efficiency of two methods of drying SPs (M I and II) extracted from Halymenia sp Rhodophyceae in order to compare the yield, purification and anticoagulant activity. The total SPs (T...

Immediate and long-term effects of polysaccharides-based formulations on human skin

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 48 (3), 2012
A new trend in cosmetic formulations is the use of biotechnological raw materials as the polysaccharides from Klebsiella pneumoniae, which are supposed to enhance cell renewal, improve skin hydration and micro-relief. Botanical extracts of Myrtus communis leaves contain different sugars, which may provid...

Growth of Cunninghamella elegans UCP 542 and production of chitin and chitosan using yam bean medium

Electron. j. biotechnol; 10 (1), 2007
Microbiological processes were used for chitin and chitosan productions by Cunninghamella elegans (UCP 542) grown in a new economic culture medium. The assay was carried out to evaluate the growth of C. elegans using yam bean (Pachyrhizus erosus L. Urban) medium, in different times of growth (24, 48, 72 ...

Laboratory scale production of maltodextrins and glucose syrup from banana starch

Acta cient. venez; 53 (1), 2002
ABSTRACT: Banana starch was isolated to obtain maltodextrin by enzymatic hydrolysis with a heat-stable _-amylase. The maltodextrin obtained had a dextrose equivalent (DE) between 7-11 and showed suitable chemical characteristics for food application. Additionally, banana maltodextrin had a greater white ...

Caracterizaçãä parcial dos polissacarídeos da parede celular, suas transformaçöes e correlaçäo com o amaciamento pós-colheita de mamöes (Carica papaya L. cv. Sunrise Solo)

O amaciamento das frutas durante o amadurecimento tem sido matéria de pesquisas numerosas devido à importância que esse processo reveste na área de fisiologia pós-colheita e a nível econômico. Em geral, as mudanças texturais das frutas têm sido associadas com modificações dos componentes da pa...
