A synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from human gastric juice, studied for its regenerative and protective properties.
The results of studies on the use of corrole derivatives as a host ligand in the PVC liquid membrane electrodes and their ability for the potentiometric high-throughput discrimination of nitrophenol guests have been presented. The significance of par…
The transgenic potato clones of cultivar Irga with improved resistance to a necrotic strain of potato virus Y (PVY(N)) were subjected to heat treatment in order to determine their technological quality. The technological quality was determined on the…
Interactions of calf spleen purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) with a non-typical substrate, 8-azaguanine (8-azaG), and a bisubstrate analogue inhibitor, 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)-8-azaguanine (PME-azaG), were investigated by means of steady-st…
A novel pentadecapeptide, BPC157, was recently reported to have a large spectrum of in vivo activities, from anti-ulcer to central action on the brain dopaminergic system. The mechanisms of these actions are not well understood. In this study, the ev…
Overall, doxorubicine-congestive heart failure (CHF) (male Wistar rats and NMRI mice; 6 challenges with doxorubicine (2.5 mg/kg, i.p.) throughout 15 days and then a 4-week-rest period) is consistently deteriorating throughout next 14 days, if not rev…
The stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 (GEPPPGKPADDAGLV, M.W.1419), which was promising in inflammatory bowel disease (PL-10, PLD-116, PL-14736, Pliva) trials, protects against both acute and chronic alcohol-induced lesions in stomach and liver,…
AIM: To investigate the protective effects of gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 on acute and chronic gastric ulcers in rats and to compare the results in therapy of human gastric ulcers by different administration methods. METHODS: Gastric pentadecape…
We can distinguish three kinds of ras genes i.e. H-ras, K-ras and N-ras, which are rated as ras-protooncogenes. The point mutations within ras genes are frequently detected in human malignancies and in experimentally induced tumors in animals. The ai…
The study of chemical composition and dough rheology changes in sieve-classified two fractions (up to 60 and 60-240 microm particles) of wheat flour was the subject of this study. The straight grade flours were obtained by the milling of three Polish…
The focus was on salivary glands in cysteamine-induced duodenal ulcer and the different effects of antiulcer agents on cysteamine-induced duodenal ulcer in sialoadenectomized but not gastrectomized rats. We tested antiulcer agents on cysteamine-induc…
The aim of the studies was to determine the effect of different methods of heat treatment on carotenoids changes and their interactions with insoluble and soluble dietary fiber. Three industrial varieties of carrot--Simba, Caropak and Fayette constit…
The amelioration of corticosteroid-impairment of healing by a stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC-157 (GEPPPGKPADDAGLV, M(w) 1419, currently in early clinical trials for inflammatory bowel disease) was studied in thermally injured mice. Its effects o…
The aim of this study was to determine of influence of 15 strains of lactic acid bacteria on the growth of 7 Salmonella spp. strains in model set-ups, and in meat and ripened fermented sausages. The investigations were performed within the framework…
In studies intended to improve healing of transected Achilles tendon, effective was a stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 (GEPPPGKPADDAGLV, M.W. 1419). Currently in clinical trials for inflammatory bowel disease (PLD-116, PL 14736, Pliva), it ame…
The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of aqueous solutions of calcium chloride and calcium lactate on the solubility of beef collagen in raw and cooked meat. The content of total collagen, water- and acetic acid-soluble collagen an…
The present study was aimed at determining the influence of 15 strains of lactic acid bacteria on the growth of 8 Yersinia enterocolitica strains in model set-ups, and in meat and ageing fermented sausages. The investigations were performed within th…
Selected biologically active non-nutrient components (BANS) were determined in broad bean seeds of fine-size and large-size seed varieties and in pea seeds for comparison. Among the analysed biologically active substances the broad bean seeds of fine…
Mannitol dehydrogenases (MDH) are a family of Zn(2+)-independent long-chain alcohol dehydrogenases that catalyze the regiospecific NAD(+)-dependent oxidation of a secondary alcohol group in polyol substrates. pH and primary deuterium kinetic isotope…
The green muscle disease (GMD), described for the first time in 1968, is a cause of significant losses in the production of turkey meat. Pathological changes of different intensity are found in smaller pectoral muscles on one or both sides of the ste…
In this study, results of histopathological investigations of meat samples collected from turkeys with macroscopically recognized green muscle disease were compared with those obtained from turkeys without macroscopic signs of this syndrome. The hist…
