Journal ArticleDOI

Ethyl pyruvate and ethyl lactate down-regulate the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and modulate expression of immune receptors.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the anti-inflammatory action ofalpha-oxo-carbonic acid esters is mediated by inhibition of glyoxalases (Glo), cytosolic enzymes that catalyse the conversion of alpha-Oxo-aldehydes such as methylglyoxal (MGO) into the corresponding alpha-hydroxy acids using glutathione as a cofactor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recognition and separation of isoenzymes by metal chelates: Immobilized metal ion affinity partitioning of lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes

TL;DR: In this article, the surface of a lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzymes from different species was probed for the presence of metal chelate binding sites using Cu-iminodiacetate-pEG (Cu-IDA-PEG).
Journal ArticleDOI

Immobilized metal ion affinity partitioning of cells in aqueous two-phase systems: erythrocytes as a model.

TL;DR: The affinity between transition metal chelates and metal-binding sites situated on the cell surface by partitioning in aqueous two-phase system composed of poly(ethylene glycol) and dextran and the influence of various effectors such as imidazole, sialic acid on immobilized metal ion affinity partitioning was examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of growth factor binding properties of a2-macroglobulin by enzyme therapy

TL;DR: Ingestion of proteinases was found to trigger the formation of intermediate forms of α2-macroglobulin displaying high affinity to TGF-β, and proteinase therapy may have beneficial effects in treatment of fibrosis and certain cancers accompanied by excessively high T GF-β concentrations.
