A follow-up of GH-dependent biomarkers during a 6-month period of the sporting season of male and female athletes
2006
In order to verify the effects of the sporting season (entailing periods of training, competition, recovery, resting) on GH-dependent parameters in male and female athletes from different sporting disciplines, 47 male and female athletes (3 rowers, 5 swimmers, 7 alpine skiers, 3 soccer players, 7 middle distance runners, 14 sprinters, 4 triathletes, 1 road walker, 3 cyclists) were followed-up for a period of 6 months. Blood samples were taken every two months for the evaluation of IGF-I, N-terminal propeptide of type III procollagen (PIIINP) and C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP). Abnormal IGF-I, PIIINP and ICTP levels were observed during the follow-up period in …
Caseicin 80: purification and characterization of a new bacteriocin from Lactobacillus casei
1990
When grown in complex or synthetic media, Lactobacillus casei B 80 synthesizes a mitomycin C-inducible polypeptide with very specific bactericidal activity against the sensitive strain Lactobacillus casei B 109. The amount of secreted bacteriocin in the culture solution was low, about 1 mg/l. The bacteriocin which we called caseicin 80, was also detectable in cell extracts, although only 2% of the total activity was retained intracellularly. Caseicin 80 was concentrated by ultrafiltration and purified by cation exchange chromatography with Cellulose SE-23 and Superose. The molecular weight was in the range of M r=40,000–42,000 and the isoelectric point was pH 4.5.
