High glucose disrupts oligosaccharide recognition function via competitive inhibition : a potential mechanism for immune dysregulation in diabetes mellitus [PDF]

, 2011
Diabetic complications include infection and cardiovascular disease. Within the immune system, host-pathogen and regulatory host-host interactions operate through binding of oligosaccharides by C-type lectin.

Effect of Citrullus colocynthis L. (Cucurbitaceae) agglutinin on gene expression of caspases in Ectomyelois ceratoniae Zeller (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)

Journal of Entomological and Acarological Research, 2016
The larvae of Ectomyelois ceratoniae Zeller were reared on the artificial diets containing 2% of Citrullus colocynthis L. (Cucurbitaceae) lectin and control to find any changes in gene expression of caspases.
