Renal oxidative stress and nitric oxide production in streptozotocin-induced diabetic nephropathy in rats: the possible modulatory effects of garlic (Allium sativum L.).

abstract：:The antifungal activity of iturin A and its interaction with erythrocyte membranes were enhanced in the presence of surfactin. The modification of the properties of iturin A was explained by the formation of mixed iturin A-surfactin micelles. Such mixed micelles were easily generated when both lipopeptides were in aqu...
