Background Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) is protective against the development of atherosclerosis. a risk factor for ischemic stroke. PON1 gene has one promoter region (-107T/C) and two coding region (192Q/R and 55L/M) polymorphisms that affect the levels and catalytic efficiency of the enzyme. respectively. In this study. we aimed to determine the importance of -107T/C. 192Q/R and 55L/M polymorphisms of PON1 gene and three PON1 activity (diazoxonase, paraoxonase, arylesterase) as risk factors for ischemic stroke

Examination of the dielectrophoretic spectra of MCF7 breast cancer cells and leukocytes
Çağlayan, Zeynep; Demircan Yalçın, Yağmur; Külah, Haluk (Wiley, 2020-03-01)
The detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood is crucial to assess metastatic progression and to guide therapy. Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a powerful cell surface marker-free method that allows intrinsic dielectric properties of suspended cells to be exploited for CTC enrichment/isolation from blood. Design of a successful DEP-based CTC enrichment/isolation system requires that the DEP response of the targeted particles should accurately be known. This paper presents a DEP spectrum method to inve...
Characterization and modulation by drugs of sheep liver microsomal flavin monooxygenase activity
Demirdöǧen, Birsen Can; Adalı, Orhan (Wiley, 2005-07-01)
The flavin monooxygenases (FMO) catalyse the NADPH and oxygen-dependent oxidation of a wide range of nucleophilic nitrogen-, sulfur-, phosphorus-, and selenium heteroatom-containing chemicals, drugs, and agricultural agents. In the present study, sheep liver microsomal FMO activity was determined by measuring the S-oxidation rate of methimazole and the average specific activity obtained from different microsomal preparations was found to be 3.8 +/- 1.5 nmol methimazole oxidized min(-1) mg(-1) microsomal pro...
Gene expressions of Mn-SOD and GPx-1 in streptozotocin-induced diabetes: effect of antioxidants
Sadi, Goekhan; Güray, Nülüfer Tülün (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-07-01)
Increased oxidative stress and impaired antioxidant defense mechanisms are believed to be the important factors contributing to the pathogenesis and progression of diabetes mellitus. In this study, we have reported the effects of the streptozotocin-induced diabetes on the gene expression and the activities of two antioxidant enzymes, manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). We also studied the effects of two antioxidants, vitamin C and DL-alpha-lipoic acid (LA), on the system...
Paraoxonase/arylesterase ratio, PON1 192Q/R polymorphism and PON1 status are associated with increased risk of ischernic stroke

Objectives: In recent years, importance of enzyme activity measurements, in addition to genotyping, in epidemiological studies relating paraoxonase 1 (PON1) and vascular disease was emphasized. This is the first report evaluating paraoxonase and arylesterase activities as risk factors for ischemic stroke. In addition, PON1 192Gln(Q)/Arg(R) and 55Leu(L)/Met(M) polymorphisms were also analyzed.
Relationship of adipokines (adiponectin, resistin and RBP4) with metabolic syndrome components in pubertal obese children
Boyraz, Mehmet; Cekmez, Ferhat; Karaoglu, Abdulbaki; CİNAZ, PEYAMİ; Durak, Mustafa; BİDECİ, AYSUN (Future Medicine Ltd, 2013-06-01)
Aim: To investigate the relationship between serum adiponectin, resistin and RBP4 levels and the components of metabolic syndrome. Patients & methods: Serum adiponectin, resistin and RBP4 levels were detected and analyzed in 148 8-18-year-old Turkish obese pubertal children with/without metabolic syndrome. Results: Adiponectin and resistin concentrations were significantly inversely correlated with BMI standard deviation score, homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance, waist circumference, triglyceri...
