Striking denervation of neuromuscular junctions without lumbar motoneuron loss in geriatric mouse muscle.

PLoS ONE 6(12) , e28090, (2011)

Reasons for the progressive age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, namely sarcopenia, are complex. Few studies describe sarcopenia in mice, although this species is the mammalian model of choice for genetic intervention and development of phar...

Egr3-dependent muscle spindle stretch receptor intrafusal muscle fiber differentiation and fusimotor innervation homeostasis.

J. Neurosci. 35(14) , 5566-78, (2015)

Muscle stretch proprioceptors (muscle spindles) are required for stretch reflexes and locomotor control. Proprioception abnormalities are observed in many human neuropathies, but the mechanisms involved in establishing and maintaining muscle spindle innervati...

Preparation and characterization of oligochitosan-tragacanth nanoparticles as a novel gene carrier.

Carbohydr. Polym. 97(2) , 277-83, (2013)

The nanoparticles of oligochitosan-water soluble tragacanth (OCH-WST) as novel gene carriers have been prepared and their transfection efficiency has been investigated on Hela and HepG2 cell lines. Different OCH:WST weight ratios were prepared to obtain parti...

[Analysis of thickening polysaccharides by the improved diethyldithioacetal derivatization method].

Shokuhin Eiseigaku Zasshi 52(1) , 40-6, (2011)

The identification test for thickening polysaccharides containing neutral saccharides and uronic acids was investigated by GC analysis of constituent monosaccharides. The reported method, in which monosaccharides were converted to diethyldithioacetal derivati...

Lack of carcinogenicity of tragacanth gum in B6C3F1 mice.

Food Chem. Toxicol. 30(8) , 673-9, (1992)

Tragacanth gum was administered at dietary levels of 0 (control), 1.25 and 5.0% to groups of 50 male and 50 female B6C3F1 mice for 96 wk after which all animals were maintained on a basal diet without tragacanth gum for a further 10 wk. Mean body weights of f...

Effect of gamma irradiation on rheological properties of polysaccharides exuded by A. fluccosus and A. gossypinus.

Int. J. Biol. Macromol. 49(4) , 471-9, (2011)

In this study, Iranian gum tragacanth (GT) exudates from Astragalus fluccosus (AFG) and Astragalus gossypinus (AGG) were irradiated at 3, 7, 10 and 15 kGy. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) data showed that irradiation did not induce changes in t...

Reduction of saliva-promoted adhesion of Streptococcus mutans MT8148 and dental biofilm development by tragacanth gum and yeast-derived phosphomannan.

Biofouling 22(3-4) , 261-8, (2006)

The aim of this study was to investigate materials which reduce saliva-promoted adhesion of Streptococcus mutans onto enamel surfaces, and their potential in preventing dental biofilm development. The effects of hydroxyapatite (HA) surface pretreatment with h...

Effect of co-solute and gelation temperature on milk protein and gum tragacanth interaction in acidified gels.

Int. J. Biol. Macromol. 50(4) , 1109-15, (2012)

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of process conditions and system composition on the acid-induced gelation of a mixture of milk protein and gum tragacanth. This was studied by determining the effects of co-solute (lactose) addition (3, 5 and ...

Polymers for sustained release formulations of dipyridamole-alginate microspheres and tabletted microspheres.

J. Microencapsul. 16(4) , 439-52, (1999)

The preparation of dipyridamole (DIP) alginate (alg) microspheres by different methods or the incorporation of tragacanth (trgh), pectin or Eudragit L-100 55 (Eud) in alg microsphere formulations did not provide a prolonged release of DIP at pH 1.2. Tabletted...

The utilization of gum tragacanth to improve the growth of Rhodotorula aurantiaca and the production of gamma-decalactone in large scale.

Appl. Biochem. Biotechnol. 162(1) , 233-41, (2010)

The production of gamma-decalactone and 4-hydroxydecanoic acid by the psychrophilic yeast R. aurantiaca was studied. The effect of both compounds on the growth of R. aurantiaca was also investigated and our results show that gamma-decalactone must be one of t...
