Does catalase improve saccharification of lignocellulose by reducing lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase-associated enzyme inactivation?
Oxidative inactivation of commercial cellulase mixtures is a significant factor influencing the overall saccharification efficiency and the addition of catalase can be used to protect these mixtures from inactivation.
Ang II markedly increased the levels of natriuretic peptide mRNAs in the left ventricle of normal and diabetic rat hearts, whereas it increased adrenomedullin mRNA levels only in 2.5-week diabetic rats and failed to cause hypertension in 7-week diabetic rats. Left ventricular levels of ANP and BNP mRNA were increased by Ang II in diabetic animals more than the additive effects of diabetes and Ang II alone, showing that Ang II induced an amplified response with respect to cardiac concentrations of ANP and BNP in diabetes.
