pepsin

Between blasts she resorted to Epictetian philosophy in the form of pepsin chewing gum.

They had curled-hair works for the cattle tails, and a "wool pullery" for the sheepskins; they made pepsin from the stomachs of the pigs, and albumen from the blood, and violin strings from the ill-smelling entrails.

He suffered from dyspepsia, and he might often be seen sucking a tablet of pepsin; in the morning his appetite was poor; but this affliction alone would hardly have impaired his spirits.

In 91% (out of 65) samples from children undergoing myringotomy for OME, pepsin/pepsinogen levels in the middle ear effusion samples were up to 1000 times higher than serum levels, indicating that pepsin in the middle ear was almost certainly due to reflux of gastric contents.

Throughout the culture, larvae samples were homogenized in 200 mg [mL.sup.-1] of the mix of 100 mmol [L.sup.-1] of glycine-HCl buffer pH 2 for acid activity (pepsin) and with Tris-HCl 30 mmol [L.sup.-1] buffer + CaCh 12.5 mM pH 7.5 for alkaline enzyme activity.

Pepsin hydrolysis: Casein ([alpha]-S1) (10 mg) was solubilized in 1mL 0.1M HCl.

In 2012, a study by Koufman and Johnston found that the addition of alkaline drinking water (pH 8.8) instantly denatured pepsin, in addition to acting as an acid buffer.

Refluxate may contain pepsin and bile contents that have also been implicated in tissue injury in the laryngopharynx (20,21).

The pathophysiology of LPR differs somewhat from that of GERD, in that injury to laryngeal tissue appears to be due primarily to pepsin, rather than to acid.

Pepsin was noted to be active in 14.4% of 152 subjects who underwent tympanostomy tube placement [6].

Proteins in cheese are thought to be easily hydrolyzed in a gastric environment because of the presence of hydrochloric acid and pepsin. However, recent findings have shown that this environment may impede the digestion of cheese.

PH, temperature stability, substrate specificity, the substrate of protection, the effect of metal ions, pepsin and trypsin on endo-[beta]-1,4-glucanase activity, were determined as described previously (19), with minor modifications.
