In vivo examination of the effects of hydroxycinnamic acid on xenobiotic metabolizing and antioxidant enzymes SEMİZ, ASLI; Celik-Turgut, Gurbet; KARAKURT, SERDAR; AKÇA, HAKAN; ARSLAN, ŞEVKİ; Adalı, Orhan; ŞEN, ALAATTİN (National Library of Serbia, 2017-01-01) In the last decade, hydroxycinnamic acids (HCA) have gained increasing attention from researchers due to their antioxidant potential. The aim of this study was to examine in detail the impact of dietary HCA on particular types of P450 and also selected phase II and antioxidant enzymes in Wistar rat. HCA (10 mu M/kg/day, i.p.) was administered for ten continuous days. Examination of the activities and mRNA and protein levels revealed that CYP2B, 2C6 and 3A enzyme activities were not altered significantly, wi...
GOPred: GO Molecular Function Prediction by Combined Classifiers Sarac, Oemer Sinan; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan; Atalay, Rengül (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2010-08-31) Functional protein annotation is an important matter for in vivo and in silico biology. Several computational methods have been proposed that make use of a wide range of features such as motifs, domains, homology, structure and physicochemical properties. There is no single method that performs best in all functional classification problems because information obtained using any of these features depends on the function to be assigned to the protein. In this study, we portray a novel approach that combines ...
FREE-RADICAL MEDIATED INTERACTION OF ASCORBIC-ACID AND ASCORBATE/CU(II) WITH VIRAL AND PLASMID DNAS ERDEM, G; ONER, C; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar; KISAKUREK, D; OGUS, A (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1994-03-01) Previous studies indicate that ascorbic acid, when combined with copper or iron cleaves several viral DNAs. In this study, we generated the ascorbate radical anion electrochemically in a simple chemical environment without the participation of a metal ion. This solution possesses viral DNA scission activity. The absence of catalytic metal ions [Fe (III) and Cu(II)] in the incubation medium was evidenced by metal chelating agents such as desferrioxamine and EDTA. The radical quenching at high EDTA concentrat...
Apolipoprotein A5 polymorphisms in Turkish population: association with serum lipid profile and risk of ischemic stroke CAN DEMİRDÖĞEN, BİRSEN; Sahin, Esra; Ozcelik, Aysun Turkanoglu; Bek, Semai; Demirkaya, Seref; Adalı, Orhan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-12-01) Atherosclerosis, a major cause of ischemic stroke, may be associated with variability of triglyceride (TG) levels. Apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) genetic polymorphisms are associated with altered TG levels. The objective of this study was to investigate the coding region polymorphisms S19W (rs3135506) and G185C (rs2075291) and the promoter region polymorphism -1131T > C (rs662799) of the APOA5 gene as risk factors for ischemic stroke in Turkish population. Study group consisted of 272 ischemic stroke patients an...
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...
