| mutational and structural studies of the active-site residues in truncated fibrobacter succinogenes1,3-1,4-beta-d-glucanase. | 1,3-1,4-beta-d-glucanases (ec 3.2.1.73) specifically hydrolyze beta-1,4-glycosidic bonds located prior to beta-1,3-glycosidic linkages in lichenan or beta-d-glucans. it has been suggested that truncated fibrobacter succinogenes 1,3-1,4-beta-d-glucanase (tfsbeta-glucanase) can accommodate five glucose rings in its active site upon enzyme-substrate interaction. in this study, 12 mutant enzymes were created by mutating the conserved residues gln70, asn72, gln81 and glu85 proposed to bind to substra ... | 2008 | 19018102 |

| cardiovascular benefits of estrogen replacement therapy. | epidemiologic case-study and cohort-study data concerning effects of estrogen replacement therapy on the risk of cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women are reviewed. although there is conflicting literature, most research strongly suggests that estrogens, and estrogen replacement therapy in particular, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. such reduced risk in estrogen users is most likely mediated in part by the beneficial effects of estrogen therapy on lipid metabolism. risks asso ... | 2009 | 2655453 |

| incidence of headache and severity of head injury. | the relationship between the incidence of post-traumatic headache and the severity of head injury has been a controversial issue. the milder the head injury, the more frequently severe headache is noted as a symptom. to investigate this relationship, 121 civilians were investigated using simplified classifications of the grade of headache, type of injury (mild or severe), cervical x-ray and head ct findings, and clinical history. all the subjects were claiming compensation for work-related injur ... | 2006 | 1446984 |
| use of real-time pcr technique in studying rumen cellulolytic bacteria population as affected by level of roughage in swamp buffalo. | a real-time polymerase chain reaction approach was used in this study to determine the population of major ruminal bacterial species (fibrobacter succinogenes, ruminococcus albus, and ruminococcus flavefaciens) in digesta and rumen fluid of swamp buffalo (bubalus bubalis). four rumen-fistulated, male swamp buffalo were randomly assigned according to a 4 x 4 latin square design to evaluate the effect of the urea-treated rice straw (roughage source)-to-concentrate ratio on cellulolytic bacterial d ... | 2009 | 19018588 |
