Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.Diabetic encephalopathy (DME) impairs neurobehavior, neurochemicals, oxidative stress, and inflammation. This study evaluated the effects of hesperidin (HSP), exercise (EX), and acarbose (ACA) alone or combined on diabetic rats. Treatments reduced AChE, BChE, ACE, arginase, ATPDase, 5′‐nucleotidase, ADA, LDH, TBARS, and ROS, while increasing IL‐10, SOD,

A Note on Serum Nucleotidase Determinations [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, 1971 Current methods for estimating 5'-nucleotidase activity in human serum are critically discussed. The requirements for specificity in the assay procedure are re-emphasised, special consideration being given to the absolute concentrations as well as the molar ratios of true and alternative substrates.
