Alzheimer's disease is one of the neurodegenerative disorders caused by neuronal degeneration and apoptosis in brain. Bacoside A and B isolated from the Bacopa monniera plant are responsible for cognitive effects. These compounds repair damaged neurons by promoting activity of kinases, synaptic activity restoration, and improvement of nerve transmi...

Hyperlipidemia is a common metabolic disorder in the general population, which may arise in hypothyroidism. Apelin is an endogenous ligand that acts as an adiponectin, and is involved in energy storage and metabolism. This study evaluated the effects of apelin administration per se or in combination with T4 on the serum level of thyroid-stimulating...

Breast cancer (BC) is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality in women. Glutathione S-transferase (GSTT1) is involved in activation of detoxification reactions and catalysis of chemicals conjugation with glutathione. GSTT1 genotype is a limiting factor for some environmental diseases. Epigenetic changes have an essential role in BC through in...

The elucidation of glycans biological function is essential to understand their role in biological processes, both normal and pathological. Immobilized glycoenzymes are excellent tools for this purpose as they can selectively release glycans from glycoproteins without altering their backbone. They can be easily removed from the reaction mixture avo...

Extracellular α-amylase and protease were coproduced from halo tolerant Virgibacillus dokdonensis VITP14 with banana peels (2% w/v) as substrate. The pH optima for α-amylase and protease were 6.5 and 7.0, respectively. The temperature optima of α-amylase and protease were 30 and 50 °C, respectively. Both the enzymes were active in the presence of v...
