Altitudinal influence on survival mechanisms, nutritional composition, and antimicrobial activity of Moringa Peregrina in the summer climate of Fujairah, UAE [PDF]
Scientific ReportsExtreme environments significantly impact the metabolic profiles of plants, leading to variations in chemical composition and bioactivity. This study investigates the effects of altitude, plant part age, and light exposure on the chemical composition and

Characterization of the antimicrobial peptide derived from sapecin B, an antibacterial protein of Sarcophaga peregrina (flesh fly) [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1994 Sapecin B, an antibacterial protein of Sarcophaga peregrina, was divided into four peptides. A hendecapeptide derived from its helix region was found to have comparable antibacterial activity with that of the complete protein. This peptide had a much wider spectrum of antimicrobial activity than that of sapecin B, exhibiting activity on not only ...

Regulation of the Expression of Cathepsin B in Sarcophaga Peregrina (Flesh Fly) at the Translational Level During Metamorphosis [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1995 Previously, we reported that cathepsin B of pupal hemocytes participates in dissociation of the fat body of Sarcophaga larvae at metamorphosis. In this study, we demonstrated that the amount of cathepsin B in hemocytes was controlled at the translational level, i.e. larval hemocytes stored a significant amount of untranslated cathepsin B mRNA. When the

Purification and characterization of a 59-kilodalton protein that specifically binds to NF-kappa B-binding motifs of the defense protein genes of Sarcophaga peregrina (the flesh fly). [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Biology, 1993 Various Sarcophaga peregrina (flesh fly) defense protein genes were shown to be activated when NIH-Sape-4 cells were cultured with bacterial lipopolysaccharides or beta-1,3-glucan. The 5' upstream regions of the defense protein genes were found to have common motifs showing similarity to the mammalian NF-kappa B-binding consensus sequence.

The South-American distribution and southernmost record of Biomphalaria peregrina—a potential intermediate host of schistosomiasis [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Schistosomiasis remains a major parasitic disease, endemic in large parts of South America. Five neotropical species of Biomphalaria have been found to act as intermediate hosts of Schistosoma mansoni in natural populations, while others have been shown ...

Immunomodulatory effect of Moringa peregrina leaves, ex vivo and in vivo study
Central European Journal of Immunology, 2017 This study was conducted to assess the in vivo and ex vivo immunomodulatory effect of the ethanol leaves extract of Moringa peregrina in Balb/c mice. For this study, five groups of 5 Balb/c mice were given a single acute subtoxic oral dose of
