Characterisation of the influence of genetic variations on the enzyme activity of a recombinant human glycine N-acyltransferase
(Elsevier, 2013)Human glycine N-acyltransferase (human GLYAT) detoxifies a wide range of endogenous and xenobiotic metabolites, including benzoate and salicylate. Significant inter-individual variation exists in glycine conjugation capacity. ... -
Cloning and expression of human recombinant isoform a of glycine–N–acyltransferase
(North-West University, 2012)Awareness of detoxification, nowadays known as biotransformation, has become an integral part of our daily lives. It is a modern buzz word that is used to promote anything from health food to enhancement of performance in ... -
Investigation and characterisation of the genetic variation in the coding region of the glycine N-acyltransferase gene
(North-West University, 2015)Thorough investigation of the glycine conjugation pathway has been neglected over the last 30 years. Environmental factors, nutrition, and the chronic use of medications are increasing the exposure of humans to benzoate ... -
Oxidative stress biomarkers in the Mediterranean pond turtle (Mauremys leprosa) reveal contrasted aquatic environments in Southern France
(Elsevier, 2017)Increasing anthropogenic activities, like agricultural practices, constitute the main causes of the loss of water quality and disruption of freshwater ecosystems. High concentrations of pesticides, as shown under experimental ... -
Oxidative stress induced by glyphosate-based herbicide on freshwater turtles
(SETAC, 2017)Freshwater ecosystems face very strong anthropogenic pressures, among which overexploitation, habitat degradation, flow modification, species invasion, and water pollution lead to growing threats on biodiversity. Urbanization ...
