Abstract

Arginase is an enzyme, which has an important role in urea cycles. Arginase activity can be altered by the changes in amino acids catabolism in pregnancy. In the present study, the serum and hemolysate arginase activity of 18 pregnant women and cord blood specimen were determined by thiosemicarbazide diacetly monooxime urea (TDMU) method. The serum arginase activity in pregnant women was found to be significantly higher (n:18, 9.2±3.9 $mu$molurea/g. Protein/h) than control group (non- pregnant women n:43, 7.5±6.0 $mu$molurea/g. protein/h). The hemolysate arginase activity of pregnant women was found significantly lower (n:18, 41.7±13.8 $mu$molurea /g. protein/h) than control group (n:43, 50.9±15.0 $mu$molurea /g. Protein/h). However the hemolysate arginase activity of baby cord blood specimen was found significantly higher (n:18, 57.3±18.1 ($mu$molurea/g. protein/h) than pregnant women (n: 18,41.7±13.8 $mu$molurea /g. protein/h).

Özet

Arginaz üre siklusunda önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Gebelerde aminoasit katabolizmasındaki değişim ile arginaz aktivitesi değişebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada 18 gebe ve onların bebeklerinden elde edilen kord kanlarında serum ve hemolizat arginaz aktiviteleri Tiyosemikarbazid diasetil monooksim üre (TDMU) yöntemi ile ölçülmüştür. Serum arginaz aktivitesi gebelerde (n: 18, 9.2±3.9 $mu$molure/g. protein/h) kontrol grubundan (n:43, 7.5±6.0 $mu$molure /g. protein/h) belirgin olarak daha yüksek bulunmuştur . Hemolizat arginaz aktivitesi ise gebelerde (n:18, 41.7±13.8 $mu$molurea /g. protein/h) kontrol grubundan (n:43, 50.9±15.0 $mu$molure/g. protein/h) daha düşük bulunmuştur. Ancak kord kanındaki (n: 18, 57.31$pm$18.1$mu$molure/g. protein/h) hemolizat arginaz aktivitesi gebelerden (n:18,41.7±13.8 ($mu$molure/g. protein/h) daha yüksek değerde bulunmuştur.
