| hydrogen peroxide mutagenicity towards salmonella typhimurium. | in bioassays conducted under controlled, comparable conditions, weak direct mutagenicity responses were observed for hydrogen peroxide in the standard (ames test) agar plate incorporation bioassay with salmonella typhimurium strains ta97, ta98, ta102, and ta1537, in a 20 min preincubation test with strains ta97, ta98, ta100, ta102, ta1537, and ta1538, and in a liquid incubation modification using strain ta1537. these results conclusively demonstrate that hydrogen peroxide is a weak mutagen, espe ... | 1989 | 2572065 |
| bacteroides loeschei pk1295 cells express two distinct adhesins simultaneously. | bacteroides loeschei synthesizes two distinct adhesins that mediate its coaggregation with streptococcus sanguis 34 and actinomyces israeli pk14. streptococcal adhesin-specific and actinomyces adhesin-specific monoclonal antibodies were used to prepare antibody-coated 5- or 10-nm gold particles. these were used in immunoelectron microscopic studies to establish that essentially all bacteroides cells in a population express both adhesins. in general, the two sizes of gold particles representing e ... | 1989 | 2572563 |
| influence of infused beta-adrenergic agonists on porcine blood metabolites and catecholamines. | anesthetized pigs were infused sequentially with increased concentrations of beta-adrenergic agonists. at selected times during infusion, blood pressure, heart rate and plasma concentrations of free fatty acids (ffa), glycerol, glucose, lactate, norepinephrine, epinephrine and dopamine were measured. azaperone, a drug used to calm the pigs before anesthesia, caused hypotension and bradycardia but did not affect plasma metabolites. infusion of norepinephrine, epinephrine, isoproterenol or clenbut ... | 1989 | 2572576 |
| restriction fragment length polymorphism of the human insulin receptor gene among mexican americans. | recently, we examined a restriction fragment length polymorphism (rflp) at the insulin receptor locus in mexican americans. this rflp can be detected using the restriction endonuclease rsa i, and has three alleles of 3.4 kb, 6.2 kb, and 6.7 kb. our data suggested that the 3.4 kilobase pair (kb) allele may be associated with type ii (non-insulin dependent) diabetes mellitus in mexican americans. we initiated studies to identify additional polymorphisms at the insulin receptor locus that might be ... | 1989 | 2573118 |
| modulation of the autonomic control of the failing heart. | the failing heart operates with an abnormal combination of heart rate, stroke volume, and enddiastolic volume. this mismatch becomes more evident during exercise of patients with heart failure, when an increase in cardiac output is achieved with higher heart rate, a lower stroke volume and a higher enddiastolic volume. using the beta 1-adrenoceptor partial agonist xamoterol which lacks beta 2-adrenoceptor agonism the response of the heart to sympathetic stimulation can be modulated. at rest and ... | 1989 | 2573339 |
| on the mechanism of positive inotropic effects of alpha-adrenoceptor agonists. | the positive inotropic effect of the alpha 1-adrenoceptor agonist phenylephrine is accompanied by an increase in the presumed second messengers inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (1,4,5-ip3) and inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (1,3,4,5-ip4). both 1,4,5-ip3 and 1,3,4,5-ip4 sensitize myocardial contractile proteins in chemically skinned fibers. in addition to the ca++ releasing effect of 1,4,5-ip3 from the sarcoplasmic reticulum the ca++-sensitizing effect of the inositol phosphates may play a role i ... | 1989 | 2573342 |

| structure-activity relationships as a response to the pharmacological differences in beta-receptor ligands. | with a few notable exceptions, beta-receptor ligands (agonists and antagonists) belong to the aryl- or heteroaryl-ethanolamine series and to the aryl- or heteroaryl-oxypropanolamine series. structure-activity relationships for beta-adrenergic agonists show that a secondary amine in the phenylethanolamine side chain ending is essential for receptor stimulation. the 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl groups may be replaced by "phenol equivalents" (-ch2oh, -nhconh2, -choh, -nhso2ch3). in contrast, substitution at ... | 1989 | 2573372 |
| reduction of beta-adrenergic receptors can explain the lack of rebound effect after tertatolol withdrawal. | tertatolol is a potent beta-blocker with no intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (isa) or beta 1/beta 2 receptor subtype selectivity. we provide evidence that tertatolol competitively inhibits beta-adrenergic receptors (beta-ar) and induces a marked and persistent reduction of their number. this has been consistently found in vitro and in vivo. the in vitro study showed that the receptor reduction by tertatolol was rapid (about 1 h at 37 degrees c), slowly reversible and independent of isa. this e ... | 2008 | 2573373 |
| effects of long-term antihypertensive treatment with tertatolol on diastolic function in hypertensive patients with and without left ventricular hypertrophy. | we assessed the effects of long-term antihypertensive treatment with 5 mg tertatolol, a noncardioselective beta-blocker, on left ventricular hypertrophy (lvh) and diastolic function. fifteen hypertensive patients were selected as good responders to previous treatment with tertatolol (supine blood pressure less than 140/90 mm hg). they were divided into 2 groups: group 1 with lvh (n = 6) and group 2 without lvh (n = 9). after a one month wash-out period, all patients received 5 mg tertatolol once ... | 2008 | 2573376 |

| central and peripheral actions of alpha 2-adrenergic agonists on renal function in long-evans and brattleboro rats. | the effects of 3 alpha 2-adrenergic receptor agonists on renal function in vasopressin (avp)-deficient brattleboro (di) rats were evaluated. the aim of this study was to determine the relative contribution of central versus peripheral alpha 2-adrenoceptors in mediating diuresis and natriuresis, as well as the role of alpha 2-adrenoceptors in antagonizing the actions of avp. in addition to the studies of renal function, the effects of avp deficiency on renal alpha 2-adrenoceptor affinity and numb ... | 1989 | 2575260 |
| inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-induced calcium mobilization is localized in xenopus oocytes. | injection of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (ins(1,4,5)p3) into the animal pole of xenopus oocytes induced membrane depolarization due to the internal mobilization of calcium, which activates a chloride conductance. repetitive injections of ins(1,4,5)p3 results in desensitization probably as a result of depletion of the internal store of calcium. desensitization was restricted to the region surrounding the site of injection. injection of ins(1,4,5)p3 at one position induced desensitization, which ... | 2008 | 2575752 |
| study of the negative inotropic action of somatostatin. | somatostatin was evaluated as a chronotropic and inotropic agent in isolated, spontaneously beating guinea-pig atria. somatostatin (3 x 10(-5)-1 x 10(-3) mm) caused a concentration-dependent negative inotropic effect and a small reduction of atrial rate. the negative inotropic effect of somatostatin was evaluated at different concentrations of extracellular calcium, on the positive inotropic response induced by calcium and on the positive chronotropic response induced by adrenaline. small, nonsi ... | 1989 | 2575886 |

| medium- and long-latency responses to displacements of the ankle joint in patients with spinal and central lesions. | in order to elucidate further the possible pathways and the functional significance of long-loop reflexes we recorded short-, medium- and long-latency responses from leg muscles in 27 patients with spinal lesions, 20 patients with central lesions of the internal capsule or cerebral hemisphere, and in 18 control patients with frontal or occipital lesions without motor or sensory disturbances. our normal population included 50 subjects, who were age and sex matched to the patients. the mean latenc ... | 2008 | 2580691 |
| a model for the resistance of the proton channel formed by the proteolipid of atpase. | the conductance observed for single proton channels formed by proteolipids of atpase (schindler and nelson 1982) is rationalized in terms of a hydrogen bonded network model. a simple algebraic expression for the resistance predicted for such a model is presented and the results are compared to the experimental observations. the comparison suggests that the conduction involves a series of bound water molecules and perhaps amino acid side groups. | 2008 | 2580699 |
| measurement of igg in equine blood by immunoturbidimetry and latex agglutination. | this paper describes the quantitative measurement of igg concentrations in equine blood/serum by turbidimetric analysis and the qualitative assessment using latex agglutination. the concentration of igg in foal serum measured by turbidimetry correlated well with the results obtained by radial immunodiffusion (r = 0.91) and the gamma-globulins estimated from the electrophoresis of serum on cellulose acetate (r = 0.92). the method, using antibody-coated latex beads, to detect foals with serum igg ... | 1985 | 2580703 |
| structural analysis of the o-glycosidically linked core-region oligosaccharides of human meconium glycoproteins which express oncofoetal antigens. | glycoproteins were extracted from meconium samples of group o neonates of secretor type by pronase digestion followed by precipitation in 67% aqueous ethanol and separated into ii antigen enriched and depleted fractions by affinity chromatography. the latter fraction strongly expressed the oncofoetal antigens recognised by natural antibodies in mouse sera and the hybridoma antibody fc 10.2, and this activity was enhanced after mild acid hydrolysis to remove sialic acid and fucose residues. oligo ... | 1985 | 2580706 |
| cardiac performance in hyperthyroidism assessed by systolic time intervals and radionuclide ventriculography. | systolic time intervals (sti) and radionuclide ventriculography (rnv) were used in the assessment of cardiac performance in 22 patients with hyperthyroidism before and after antithyroid treatment. sti as well as rnv showed enhanced myocardial contractility which was normalized after antithyroid treatment. beta-blocker treatment did not influence the hypercontractility in hyperthyroidism. this implies that beta-blockers alone cannot be regarded as satisfactory long-term treatment and that mechani ... | 2008 | 2581421 |
| the effects of subdiabetogenic streptozotocin doses on rat beta cell volume and functions. | the influence of a single i.v. injection of 30 mg/kg streptozotocin (sz) into female wistar rats on plasma glucose, pancreatic insulin content, volume and function of the remaining beta-cells has been investigated. 14 days after sz treatment most animals remained normoglycemic; only about 15% showed permanent hyperglycemia. the pancreatic insulin content in normoglycemic rats was reduced to 30%, whereas in hyperglycemic rats only 6% of control values could be detected. the remaining beta-cell vo ... | 1985 | 2581562 |
