Functional insight for beta-glucuronidase in Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus sp. RLH1.

Glycosyl hydrolases hydrolyze the glycosidic bond either in carbohydrates or between carbohydrate and non-carbohydrate moiety. The beta-glucuronidase (beta D-glucuronoside glucuronosohydrolase; EC 3.2.

Beta-glucuronidase of family-2 glycosyl hydrolase: a missing member in plants.

Glycosyl hydrolases hydrolyze the glycosidic bond in carbohydrates or between a carbohydrate and a non-carbohydrate moiety. beta-glucuronidase (GUS) is classified under two glycosyl hydrolase families (2 and 79) and the family-2 beta-glucuronidase is reported in a wide range of organisms, but not in plants. The family-79 endo-beta-glucuronidase (heparanase) is reported in microorganisms, vertebrates and plants.

Method for quantifying cutaneous pigmentation in animals and preliminary study in humans.

Synopsis A preoccupation with aesthetics and a real desire for social development has brought about an increase in the demand for safe, effective depigmenting products among African and Asian populations. For many years now, we have used an experimental model which uses the black mouse CS BL/6/JICO. As a result of developing needs and the necessity to check the results obtained from animals on humans, we have had to change the methodology in order to take into account the specific characteristics of human skin.

[Changes in free and total thyroid hormones and reverse T3 in adult male rats during fasting].

The serum levels of thyroid hormones (T3, F.T3, RT3, T4 and F.T4), cholesterol and triglycerides were measured in a population of adult male rats subjected to experimental fasting.
