SERUM NEOPTERIN CONCENTRATIONS AND TRYPTOPHAN DEGRADATION PATTERN IN PATIENTS WITH LATE STAGE LARYNX CARCINOMA

Serum neopterin concentrations and tryptophan degradation pattern in patients with late stage larynx carcinoma

As the disease-free 5-year-survival of late stage laryngeal carcinoma patients is extremely low, indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO)-induced tryptophan degradation may represent an immune escape mechanism which plays an important role in cancer spreading in advanced stage laryngeal cancers.We examined whether the late stage laryngeal cancer enhance

Dough Performance and Quality Evaluation of Cookies Prepared from Flour Blends Containing Cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica) and Acacia (Acacia seyal) Gums

Acacia (AG) and cactus gums (CG) were mixed chrome cologne set into wheat flour at the 3% and 6% levels.The flour blends were tested for their pasting, dough development, and extensibility behaviors.The blends were used to make cookies, which were then evaluated for their physical, textural, and sensory qualities.Both types of gum reduced the setba
