Cold-Pressed Sacha Inchi Oil: High in Omega-3 and Prevents Fat Accumulation in the Liver.

The ability of oil supplementation to inhibit various metabolic syndromes has been recognized. However, there are currently no studies determining the effects of oil supplements on healthy conditions. L.

The combined recombinant cathepsin L1H and cathepsin B3 vaccine against Fasciola gigantica infection.

Protections against Fasciola gigantica infection in mice immunized with the individual and combined cathepsin L1H and cathepsin B3 vaccines were assessed. The vaccines comprised recombinant (r) pro-proteins of cathepsin L1H and B3 (rproFgCatL1H and rproFgCatB3) and combined proteins which were expressed in Pichia pastoris. The experimental trials were performed in ICR mice (n = 10 per group) by subcutaneous injection with 50 μg of the recombinant proteins combined with Alum or Freund's adjuvants.

A novel Thioredoxin-related protein 14 from Fasciola gigantica has an immunodiagnostic potential for fasciolosis.

In the definitive host, a trematode parasite can survive and evade the damage by reactive oxygen species that are generated from its metabolism and the host immune cells. Several anti-oxidant proteins are found in Fasciola spp. which play essential roles in cellular redox balance.

Monoclonal antibody against Fasciola gigantica glutathione peroxidase and their immunodiagnosis potential for fasciolosis.

Glutathione peroxidases (GPx), major antioxidant enzymes, secreted by Fasciola spp., are important for the parasite evasion and protection against the host's immune responses. In the present study, a monoclonal antibody (MoAb) against recombinant F.

Expression and characterization of glutathione peroxidase of the liver fluke, Fasciola gigantica.

Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) is a key member of the family of antioxidant enzymes in trematode parasites including Fasciola spp. Because of its abundance and central role as an anti-oxidant that helps to protect parasites from damage by free radicals released from the host immune cells, it has both diagnostic as well as vaccine potential against fasciolosis. In this study, we have cloned, characterized, and detected the expression of the GPx protein in Fasciola gigantica (Fg).
