Adaptation of the Zymosan Assay of Properdin to Animal Sera
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1957 SummaryThe reaction of zymosan with properdin of certain animal species was found to be inhibited in the presence of properdin-free human complement (RP), an essential reagent in the standard assay. The problem was resolved by 1) precipitating the properdin as euglobulin and reconstituting for the assay in properdin-free residues (R3 or endpiece) of ...

Panax notoginseng saponins attenuate atherogenesis accelerated by zymosan in rabbits.
Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2010 Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) are highly valued traditional Chinese medicine. The effects of PNS (120 mg/kg, once daily administrated intragastrically (i.g.)) on atherosclerosis induced by a high-cholesterol diet and chronic inflammation, which was ...

Effect of zymosan on hepatic drug matabolism in mice.
Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 1976 Effect of zymosan, a typical reticuloendotherial stimulator, on hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes was examined in mice. 1) When given in vivo, it depressed all the activities of aminopyrine N-demethylase, p-nitroanisole O-demethylase, and aniline hydroxylase.
