(1) There were no significant differences in the NAG indices either between fullterm and preterm babies or between appropriate for gestational age (AGA) and small for gestational age (SGA) neonates of the normal group.
(2) Urinary excretion of the tubular enzymes NAG and AAP was investigated during gentamicin treatment of 105 newborn infants.
(3) Elevated urinary levels of the renal tubular enzyme N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) have been shown to be associated with tubular damage.
(4) Urine N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase (NAG) was measured 3 times weekly and serum creatinine was measured 5 times during the study.
(5) The nag genes appear to be organized in an operon: nagD nagC nagA nagB nagE.
(6) About 10% of the exposed workers had an enhanced NAG value, corresponding to the level of diabetic patients with subclinical nephropathy.
(7) The aim of the present study was to evaluate the trend of excretion of the lysosomal enzyme N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) and the brush border enzyme alanine aminopeptidase (AAP) during uncomplicated pregnancies.
(8) A prospective study in 16 healthy and 16 gentamicin-treated neonates was undertaken to compare the urinary excretion of proximal tubular markers such as beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2-m) and total N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) and its isoenzymatic form NAGB.
(9) Although NaY and NaG are effective heavy metal chelators and renal function is spared and kidney platinum levels are substantially reduced by the dithiocarbamates, no parallel loss of antineoplastic activity by Cis-Pt on the rat Walker carcinoma was observed.
(10) Epididymal spermatozoa also contained moderate beta-NAG activity.
(11) ), Botryodiplodia theobromae, Pat., Rhizopus arrhizus Fischer., Phomopsis psidii Nag Raj and Ponnappa apud Ponnappa and Nag Raj, and Pestalotiopsis versicolor (Speg.)
(12) In the song Christmas and Owen argue that if women were a Pot Noodle it would be "farewell to nagging and random tantrums".
(13) Urinary retinol binding protein, myoglobin, and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), expressed as a ratio with urinary creatinine, were measured and excretion profiles repeated at 3-6 days in 15 infants and at 7-14 days in 11 infants.
(14) My nagging suspicion is that the White House is very happy to have a vacuum in the under-secretary and assistant secretary levels, not only at state but across government agencies, because it relieves them of even feeling an obligation to consult with experts before they take a new direction.” In normal times, the state department is a constant part of an inter-agency policymaking process coordinated by the national security council.
(15) A synthetic oligonucleotide probe was developed to identify the gene for the heat-stable enterotoxin (NAG-ST) of non-serovar O1 Vibrio cholerae.
(16) The pH optima of NAG I-IV ranged from 4.2 to 4.4, and Km values from 0.61 to 0.83 mM.
(17) Removal of the endothelium, treatment of endothelium-intact preparations with L-NAG or L-NMMA, or exposure of these vessels to the guanylate cyclase inhibitor, methylene blue (10 microM) increased reactivity of the aortas to the guanosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) analogue, 8-Br cGMP.
(18) No correlation was found between activity of beta-NAG and of GPT, gammaGT and CHE.
(19) Although DDTC or NaG pretreatment is highly effective when used in conjunction with NaG post-treatment, DDTC or NaG pretreatment alone has no renal sparing effect on renal function or renal platinum accumulation.
(20) Supplemental fosfomycin or steroids inhibited an increase in urinary NAG level 3 days after the anticancer therapy.
