Protective Effects and Potential Mechanism of Tongxinluo on Mice with Thromboangiitis Obliterans Induced by Sodium Laurate.

Objective: To investigate the effects of Tongxinluo (TXL) on thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) and the underlying mechanisms.

Methods: Ninety male C57/BL6J mice were randomly divided into 6 groups according to a random number table: the sham group, TAO model group, Compound Danshen Tablet (CDT) group, and the high-, medium-, and low-dose TXL groups. All mice except the sham group were injected with sodium laurate (0.

Effect of inulin on yeast inulinase production in sauerkraut brine.

Kluyveromyces marxianus NRRL Y-1196 produced the highest inulinase activity (38 U/mg protein) of six yeasts examined after 24 h growth in sauerkraut brine in shaking flasks at 30°C with 0.3% inulin as an enzyme inducer. The enzyme was recovered by acetone fractionation, with a yield of 81%.
