Sulfation of hesperetin,naringenin and apigenin by the human cytosolic sulfotransferases: a comprehensive analysis

Abstract

Previous studies have revealed sulfation as a major pathway for the metabolism of hesperetin, naringenin and apigenin. The current study was designed to identify the human cytosolic sulfotransferase (SULT) enzyme(s) capable of sulfating these flavonoid compounds. Of the thirteen human SULTs, six (1A1, 1A2, 1A3, 1B2, 1C4, 1E1) displayed significant sulfating activity toward hesperetin, five (1A1, 1A2, 1A3, 1B2, 1C4) displayed sulfating activity towards naringenin, and four (1A1, 1A2, 1A3, 1C4) showed sulfating activity towards apigenin. Of the four human organ specimens tested, liver and intestine cytosols displayed much higher hesperetin-, naringenin- and apigenin-sulfating activity than lung and kidney cytosols. Moreover, sulfation of hesperetin, naringenin and apigenin was shown to take place in HepG2 human hepatoma cells and Caco-2 human colon adenocarcinoma cells under cultured conditions. Taken together, these results provided a biochemical basis underlying the metabolism of hesperetin, naringenin and apigenin through sulfation in humans.

Studies on the Interaction of Beryllon Ш with Proteins by Voltammetric Technique and its Application

A new quantitative determination method of proteins using beryllon Ш by voltammetric technique was developed in this paper. In pH 3.5 Britton-Robinson (B-R) buffer solution, beryllon Ш can bind with human serum albumin (HSA) to form an electro-inactive supermolecular complex. Beryllon Ш has a well-defined voltammetric reduction peak at -0.38 V (vs. SCE) and the addition of protein in this solution can cause the decrease of the reductive peak current. Based on the decrease of the reduction peak current, a new electrochemical method for the determination of HSA was established with linear range of 1.0~40.0 mg/L and the detection limit of 1.0 mg/L. This method is further applied to the determination of real sample of healthy human serum.

RHEOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF PROCESSABILITY OF UNVULCANIZED POLYBUTADIENE

Rheological investigation on a series ot unvulcamzed polybutadiene elastomers of different processability has been carried out by means of a capillary extrusion rheometer. It is found that the processability of unvulcanized polybutadiene can be correlated with the occurrence of unsteady flow and the wall stress, dependence of the dimensionless number e characterizing the entrance elongational elasticity which has been found to be sensitive to the branching structure and the molecular weight distribution of the samples. Interpretations based on the structural data of unvulcanized polybutadiene were discussed.

氯磺化聚乙烯水解后是一种性能特异的离子交换膜。本文研究了低密度及高密度聚乙烯中空纤维氯磺化反应时间与交换容量之间的关系,并用红外光谱及广角X射线衍射法测定了氯磺化反应对聚乙烯晶体结构的影响。结果表明,氯磺化反应主要发生在聚乙烯的非晶区,最大交换容量及反应速度均与非晶区含量有关。反应对晶粒表面也有一定程度的侵蚀作用,随着交换容量的增加,结晶度下降,晶粒度减小。低密度及高密度聚乙烯的变化趋势相似,但前者比后者变化更显著。
