In this study, effect of cold stress on physiology and biochemistry of two Turkish barley cultivars, winter type Tarm-92 and spring type Zafer-160, was studied. For chilling stress treatment, cultivars were exposed to +4 ºC for 1, 3 and 7 days, and for freezing stress application acclimated cultivars (+4 ºC for 3 days) were treated with -3 ºC and -7 ºC. After freezing stress treatment, a recovery period was applied for 4 days at 4 ºC. Following analyses were performed on leaf and root tissues: growth parameters (length, wet-dry weights), malondialdehyde (MDA) content, proline content, hydrogen peroxide content (H2O2) electrolyte leakage, PS II fluorescence (Fv/Fm), antioxidant enzyme activities such as catalase (CAT: EC 1.11.1.6), ascorbate peroxidase (APX: EC 1.11.1.11) and glutathione reductase (GR: EC 1.6.4.2). It was observed that effect of cold was more at freezing temperatures than chilling temperature. Cold dependent damage was more obvious as the duration of chilling temperature increased. Growth retardation, membrane damage, leaf catalase deactivation were more apparent and leaf glutathione reductase activity increase was less in spring type cultivar Zafer than in winter type Tarm. These results indicated that winter type barley cultivar is more cold tolerant than spring type barley.

Interactions of cholesterol reducing agent simvastatin with phospholipid model membranes Koçak, Mustafa; Severcan, Feride; Department of Biochemistry (2007) Interactions of simvastatin with zwitterionic dipalmitoyl phosphotidylcholine (DPPC) multilamellar liposomes were investigated as a function of temperature and simvastatin concentration. And acyl chain length effect on the simvastatin-model membrane interactions was monitored with DPPC and dimyristoyl phosphotidylcholine (DMPC) lipids. All studies were carried out by two non-invasive techniques, namely Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results s...
Effects of Formaldehyde Inhalation on Zinc, Copper and Iron Concentrations in Liver and Kidney of Male Rats ÖZEN, OĞUZ ASLAN; KUŞ, İLTER; Bakirdere, Sezgin; Sarsilmaz, Mustafa; YAMAN, MEHMET (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-05-01) In the present study, adult Wistar albino male rats were exposed to formaldehyde at different periods (subacute and subchronic) and concentrations (5.0 and 10.0 ppm) in order to figure out the changes in the concentration of Zn, Cu and Fe. It was observed that the formaldehyde inhalation caused gradual decline of body weights in the experimental groups when compared with control groups. It was found that subacute (4-week) or subchronic (13-week) exposure to formaldehyde for rats may cause growth retardation...
KINETIC-PROPERTIES OF PURIFIED SHEEP LUNG MICROSOMAL NADH-CYTOCHROME B5 REDUCTASE Güray, Nülüfer Tülün (Elsevier BV, 1991-01-01) 1. Lung NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase was saturated with its artificial substrate, potassium ferricyanide at approximately 0.1 mM ferricyanide concentration, and the activity of the lung enzyme was inhibited by the higher concentrations of potassium ferricyanide. Ferricyanide at 0.5 and 1.0 mM inhibited the activity of the enzyme by about 20 and 61% respectively. The apparent K(m) value was calculated as 13.7-mu-M potassium ferricyanide and 4.3-mu-M NADH.
POSSIBLE INVOLVEMENT OF MANGANESE IN THE CATALYTIC MECHANISM OF BOVINE LIVER ARGINASE TURKOGLU, S; OZER, I (Elsevier BV, 1992-06-01) 1. Bovine liver arginase followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics in the pH range of 4.5-9.0. The variation of upsilon(i) pH implied that a basic group (pK(alpha) 8.7) functions at the catalytic site.
Effect of cold stress on barley (hordeum vulgare L.) superoxide dismutase isozyme activities and expression levels of cu/znsod gene Kayıhan, Ceyhun; Yücel, Ayşe Meral; Department of Biotechnology (2007) In this study, effect of cold stress and recovery on the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities and the expression levels of Cu/ZnSOD gene were investigated in two barley cultivars (Tarm-92-winter type, Zafer-160-spring type). Eight days old barley seedlings were subjected to two different cold stresses; chilling stress at 4°C for 1, 3, 7 days and freezing stress at -3°C and -7°C. Analyses were performed both on leaf and root tissues. The SOD activities and isozyme patterns were determined by Native PAGE act...
