Antioxidant enzymes in Trichomonas vaginalis.

J Egypt Soc Parasitol

Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Pharmacy, Cairo University, Egypt.

Published: December 1990

The activities of artificial donor peroxidase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase in clinical isolates of T. vaginalis were studied. None of the tested strains exhibited activity of the three enzymes. Inclusion of catalase in Diamond-TYM solid medium did not support growth under aerobic conditions. The correlation between the absence of these enzymes and the growth conditions of the organism is discussed.

The suppression of tyrosinase (TYR), a key enzyme in melanogenesis, has been suggested as an effective strategy for preventing melanin accumulation. We previously discovered the novel chrysin derivative hydroxyethyl chrysin (HE-chrysin) through an irradiation technique, which exerted higher anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities than original chrysin. In the present study, we explored whether HE-chrysin has antioxidant and anti-melanogenic capacity using B16F10 murine melanoma cells and molecular docking.

GRAS, termed after gibberellic acid insensitive (GAI), RGA (repressor of GA1), and SCR (scarecrow), is a plant-specific transcription factor crucial for plant development and stress response. However, understanding of the functions played by the GRAS members and their target genes in citrus is limited. In this study, we identified a cold stress-responsive GRAS gene from , designated as PtrPAT1, by yeast one-hybrid library screening using the promoter of , a betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH)-like gene.
