PARTIAL CHARACTERIZATION of lipase from COCOA BEANS (Theobroma cacao. L.) of clone PBC 159
A study was carried out to characterize the cocoa lipase from cocoa beans (Theobroma cacao, L.) of clone PBC 159. The optimum temperature of cocoa lipase was 30-40 °C and the pH optimum was 7.0-8.0.

Significant elevations of serum lipase not caused by pancreatitis: a systematic review.
BACKGROUND Many authors advocate lipase as the preferred serological test for the diagnosis of pancreatitis and a cut-off level of three or more times the upper limit of normal (ULN) is often quoted.

Biocatalytic preparation and absolute configuration of enantiomerically pure fungistatic anti-2-benzylindane derivatives. Study of the detoxification mechanism by Botrytis cinerea [PDF]
Enantiomerically pure 2-benzylindane derivatives were prepared using biocatalytic methods and their absolute configuration determined. (1R,2S)-2-Benzylindan-1-ol ((1R,2S)-2) and (S)-2-benzylindan-1-one ((S)-3) were produced by fermenting baker’s yeast.

This work identifies a novel mechanism by which dopamine D1 receptor (DRD1) contributes to the pathogenesis of glucocorticoid (GC)‐associated osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) through the regulation of osteoblastic apoptosis, indicating that DRD1 serves as a critical mediator of the crosstalk between the nervous and skeletal systems.

The evolution and comparative neurobiology of endocannabinoid signalling [PDF]
CB(1)- and CB(2)-type cannabinoid receptors mediate effects of the endocannabinoids 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and anandamide in mammals. In canonical endocannabinoid-mediated synaptic plasticity, 2-AG is generated postsynaptically by diacylglycerol ...

Gasdermin D (GSDMD) does not only reduce pancreatic enzyme synthesis but also induces pancreatic acinar cells to express mucin 1 (MUC1), which forms a barrier to prevent digestive enzyme‐mediated digestion. However, GSDMD can promote the secretion of inflammatory cytokines by macrophages and aggravate pancreatic histological injury by expanding ...

The effect of alcohol on the performance of lipase-immobilized enzymatic membrane reactor for esterification of (R,S)-ketoprofen [PDF]
The effect of alcohols on the performance of lipase-immobilized enzymatic membrane reactor (EMR) for enantioselective esterification of (R,S)-ketoprofen has been studied. In this work, mixed solvent medium was used and the (R)-ketoprofen was reacted with
