However, very few studies exist that trace its gender differential impacts. This study makes a pioneering attempt to estimate the impact of exports of services on gender employment in 46 sectors, which include 15 services sectors. Social Accounting Matrix has been used to generate gender employment multipliers and identify sectors where higher exports of services may lead to greater gender employment equality. Further, a primary survey is undertaken to capture the gender differential impact of trade in Information and Technology Enabled Services. Policy implications to gender sensitise trade policy are derived from the results. 1 Mode 1 involves cross border trade in services like ICT (Information and Communication Technology), Professional services such as Accountancy, Engineering and Management etc. and Mode 4 involves the temporary movement of service suppliers of country to supply services in the territory of another country i.e. trade in international services (UNCTAD 2004). It has been argued that both the Modes provide the greatest opportunity to developing countries to foster gender equity, welfare and women's social and economic empowerment. Given the exponential rise in exports of communication services since the past decade under Mode 1 in India and high use of communication services in all sectors of the economy we attempt to estimate the impact of 20% increase in exports of communication services on gender employment in all other sectors. This captures the indirect impact of trade in communication services, in particular ITES and BPO services, on women employment.

The purified enzyme gave a single band on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight as determined by gel filtration of the enzyme was 26,850. Its K m and V max values were 12·8 mM and 0·303 µmol/min/mg, respectively. The K i for iodoacetamide was 0·16 mM.

I.v. administration of alloxan (40 mg/kg body weight) in rats inhibited the subsequentin vitro incorporation of14C-leucine into (pro-)insulin in the isolated islets. Glucose (750 mg/kg body weight), when administered 5 min prior to alloxan, completely protected the islets against alloxan toxicity. The protective effect of glucose was partly reversed when the concentration of alloxan was raised to 80 mg/kg body weight. Similar results of inhibition of (pro-)insulin biosynthesis by alloxan and its protection by glucose were obtained when isolated rat islets were exposed to alloxan and/or glucosein vitro. Islets exposed to glucosein vitro immediately after alloxan exposure showed a slower rate of inhibition of (pro-)insulin biosynthesis, as compared to islets washed before exposure to D-glucose. In view of these findings, it is suggested that there is a common recognition site on B-cell for alloxan and glucose.

Cathepsin B antibodies raised in rabbit inhibited the above conversion.
