Alterations in the intestinal brush border membrane structure and function in chronic DDT-exposed monkeys     

A. Mahmood  N. Agarwal  S. Sanyal  P.K. Dudeja  D. Subrahmanyam 《Pesticide biochemistry and physiology》1979,12(2):141-146

Intestinal uptake of d-glucose, l-leucine, and glycine is considerably enhanced in monkeys exposed to subacute doses of DDT for 100 days. The brush border sucrase and lactase activities were also significantly elevated but there was no change in alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, and Mg²⁺-ATPase activities in the pesticide-administered animals compared to controls. Kinetic evidence revealed that augmentation of disaccharidases in the pesticide-treated animals is because of an increase in the enzyme content. Cholesterol and triglyceride fractions of the brush border membrane were also elevated but sialic acid content was reduced in the insecticide-treated animals compared to control group. These results suggest that observed changes in the functional activity of the enterocytes in DDT toxicity are possibly related to the alterations in the brush border membrane structural organization.  相似文献

Male infertility is one of the prime concerns of dairy cattle production. The study was designed to find out differentially expressed proteins in categorized crossbred (Holstein Friesian × Sahiwal) bull semen to serve as potential biomarkers for male infertility. Frozen crossbred bull semen with satisfactory phenotypic records were defined as “good” and “poor” based on their fertility rates. A total of 1,547 proteins were detected in bull spermatozoa using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometer (LC‐MS/MS) analysis. Results revealed that 558 (36.1%) and 653 (42.2%) proteins were expressed to good and poor quality bull spermatozoa, respectively. A total of 336 proteins (21.7%) were reported to be unique for both good and poor quality bull semen, and among the common proteins, 224 (66.7%) and 112 (33.3%) were up‐ and downregulated in good and poor quality categorized bull semen, respectively. Gene Ontology analysis of global proteomes identified different signalling pathways, and most of them were related to cellular motility, immune systems as well as cellular metabolisms. The distinctive presence of some of the proteins may provide an insight into the molecular mechanistic role played by these proteins in crossbred bull infertility.  相似文献

Interaction of textile parameters,wash-ageing and fabric softener with mechanical properties of knitted fabrics and correlation with textile-hand. I. Interaction of textile parameters with laundry process     

Gaurav Agarwal  Ludovic Koehl  Anne Perwuelz  Kenneth S. Lee 《Fibers and Polymers》2011,12(5):670-678

This is a study of the influence of repeated laundering and the use of fabric softener in the context of mechanical properties of fabrics with respect to textile parameters. In the large competitive market of fabric softener, the fabric softener producers claim benefits for fabric hand as well as the mechanical properties of textiles. The main aim of this study is to investigate the influence of ageing and the use of fabric softener on the mechanical properties of textiles during their cradle to grave life with respect to fibre type, fibre fineness, knitting construction and number of wash cycles. The low stress mechanical properties were evaluated by means of the Kawabata Evaluation system for fabric (KES-F) and Universal Surface Tester (UST). The tensile, shear, bending, compression and surface properties and changes in these parameters due to wash-ageing and the use of fabric softener during laundry were evaluated. These mechanical properties or combinations of them are the deciding factors for comfort aspects of apparel during wear. Hence, these mechanical properties need to be correlated with the sensory attributes. In Part I, we examine the change in mechanical parameters due to wash-ageing and the use of softener, while Part II deals with Fuzzy-Logic modelling to correlate these mechanical parameters with sensory attributes.  相似文献   

Antifungal activity of Datura stramonium, Calotropis gigantea and Azadirachta indica against Fusarium mangiferae and floral malformation in mango     

K. Usha  B. Singh  P. Praseetha  N. Deepa  D. K. Agarwal  R. Agarwal  A. Nagaraja 《European journal of plant pathology / European Foundation for Plant Pathology》2009,124(4):637-657

Floral malformation caused by Fusarium mangiferae is a serious threat to mango cultivation in various countries. Different long-term measures suggested to control it were found to be unsuccessful. Present studies clearly showed strong antifungal activity of a concoction brewed from Datura stramonium, Calotropis gigantea, Azadirachta indica (neem) and cow manure (T₁) followed by methanol-water (70/30 v/v) extracts of Datura stramonium, Calotropis gigantea and Azadirachta indica (T₂) against Fusarium mangiferae. Optimal control of floral malformation was found in trees sprayed with T₁ followed by T₂ at bud break stage and again at fruit set stage when compared with the control. All the malformed buds or panicles completely dried two days after foliar spray with T₁ or T₂. In the trees treated with T₁ at fruit set stage, flower abscission was observed from the fourth day after spraying and all flowers dropped by the ninth day without requiring any manual de-blossoming, whereas in the control, the malformed panicles remained green and competed with the growing fruits for plant nutrients. In vitro culture of fresh malformed tissues in MS media along with T₁ or T₂ showed no growth of any fungus in the media. However, in vitro culture of the completely dry malformed tissues in MS media after foliar treatment with T₁ or T₂ revealed growth of F. mangiferae on the twenty fifth day indicating that the concoction-brewed compost (T₁) or methanol-water (70/30 v/v) extracts (T₂) could not completely eliminate the pathogen but helped in controlling malformation by suppressing the activity of F. mangiferae. Mango trees sprayed with T₁ and T₂ revealed significant differences in percent fruit set and retention when compared with the control. This could be due to observed higher levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc, iron and manganese in T_1, followed by T₂ when compared with T₃ (control). Among the different fruit quality parameters analysed, the total flavonoids were found to be significantly higher in T₁ and T₂ when compared with T_3. The study proved that the concoction-brewed compost (T₁) is effective, inexpensive, easy to prepare and constitutes a sustainable and eco-friendly approach to control floral malformation in mango when it is sprayed at bud break stage and again at fruit set stage. In this present study, exogenous treatment of emerging buds with (T_c) further proved that with increase in the number of malformed panicles/tree the number of buds developing into healthy panicles/tree decrease.  相似文献   

Establishment and characterization of macrophage cell line from thymus of Catla catla (Hamilton, 1822)     

Dharmendra Kumar Chaudhary  Neeraj Sood  Gaurav Rathore  Pravata Kumar Pradhan  Peyush Punia  Naresh Kumar Agarwal  Joy Krushna Jena 《Aquaculture Research》2014,45(2):299-311

A continuous cell line has been developed from thymus explants of Catla catla and the cells have been subcultured for 63 passages. The cells exhibited optimum growth at 30°C in L‐15 medium containing 15% foetal bovine serum. The cultured cells engulfed yeast cells and fluorescent latex beads. These cells produced reactive oxygen and nitrogen intermediates following stimulation with lipopolysaccharide and phorbol esters. The culture supernatant from the cultured cells had lysozyme activity and these cells demonstrated Fc receptors. Almost all the cells were positive for alpha‐naphthyl acetate esterase enzyme suggesting that the cells are of macrophage lineage and therefore, the cell line was designated as catla thymus macrophage (CTM) cell line. CTM cells formed aggregates around zoospores of Aphanomyces invadans, but were unable to inhibit the germination of spores. The karyotype analysis of CTM cells at 25th passage revealed a typical diploid model with 50 chromosomes per cell. Partial amplification, sequencing and alignment of fragments of two mitochondrial genes 16S rRNA and cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 confirmed that the CTM cell line originated from C. catla. This cell line should be useful for studying the role of macrophages in differentiation and maturation of thymocytes and can be a source of macrophage‐specific enzymes and cytokines.  相似文献   

A Study on Fluoride Sorption by Montmorillonite and Kaolinite     

Agarwal  Meetu  Rai  Kavita  Shrivastav  Rohit  Dass  Sahab 《Water, air, and soil pollution》2002,141(1-4):247-261

Fluoride (F) sorption by acidified montmorillonite, montmorillonite and kaolinite has been investigated as a function of period of agitation, pH, initial fluoride concentration and clay amount. In case of montmorillonite and kaolinite, F sorption is insignificant at pH > 7, while it is maximum at pH 4. Enhanced F sorption by acidified montmorillonite is noted at pH < 10, maximum being at pH 6. Significant concentration of Al³⁺,Fe³⁺ and silica are released from acidified montmorillonite lattice (pH ≈ 2; 1:10 w/v), which decreased considerably owing to the formation of hydroxy (Al and Fe) silicates on subsequent base addition. Soluble fluoro-complexes at pH ≈ 2 and chemical interaction of F with hydroxy (Al and Fe) silicates at pH > 4, are potent sink for F in case of acidified montmorillonite. Soluble fluoro-complexes are also detected in case of montmorillonite and kaolinite at pH ≈ 4. Saturation indices (SIs) for acidified montmorillonite, over the studied pH range (2–10) has also been computed.  相似文献   

Identification and characterization of SSRs in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Clarias batrachus</Emphasis> and their application in population study

Magur Clarias batrachus is an indigenous catfish, commonly found in India, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh. Presently, the populations of magur have declined rapidly in their natural habitat mainly due to overexploitation and habitat degradation. Understanding the population genetic structure of the species has significance in improvement of stocks and in conservation of the species. In the present study, simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to differentiate the populations of magur, collected from three geographic locations. For this, a total of 31,814 SSRs were mined from the de novo assembled pooled of whole genome sequence data of C. batrachus. A bioinformatics pipeline with stringent criteria was applied to analyze the data which resulted in selection of 30,142 microsatellite loci falling in the intergenic region. Out of the 25 loci selected for primer development, 16 loci were successfully amplified and 9 loci were found to be polymorphic in this species. The average observed as well as expected heterozygosity in the loci across different stocks varied from 0.652 to 0.688 and 0.864 to 0.873, respectively. These three populations were further segregated into two clusters based on the NJ genetic distance. The Lucknow population formed one cluster, while the Bhubaneswar and Kolkata populations constituted another cluster. A comparable finding was also deduced from the STRUCTURE analyses. The results revealed significant variation among the populations of C. batrachus under study.  相似文献
