regulation of low density lipoprotein receptor activity in freshly isolated human lymphocytes.circulating human lymphocytes freshly isolated from venous blood of 15 normal subjects exhibited a low capacity to bind, take up, and degrade 125i-labeled low density lipoprotein (ldl). however, when these cells were incubated for 72 h in the absence of lipoproteins, they gradually acquired in increased number of high affinity cell surface receptors for ldl. the increase in the number of ldl receptors was associated with a 16-fold increase in the rate at which the cells were able to take up and ...1976186492
histochemistry of oxidative enzymes in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis.the histoenzymic pattern of oxidative enzymes (g3pd, idh, sd, g6pd,hbd, nadph: dehydrogenase) was investigated in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (eae) produced in rats according to paterson [13]. the results obtained lead to following conclusions: (1) the neuroglia, including the white matter oligodendroglia of immunized rats, exhibits increased oxidoreductase activities; (2) the neuroallergic reaction induces some stimulation of the oxidoreductive metabolism of oligoden-droglia; (3) th ...1976186370
measurement and partial characterization of immunoreactive glucagon in gastrointestinal tissues of dogs.we have reported previously that increasing amounts of immunoreactive glucagon (irg), measured by four specific antisera, appeared in plasma of depancreatized insulin-deficient dogs. it was therefore concluded that pancreatectomy was not accompanied by glucagon deficiency in the dog, but instead excessive amounts of extrapancreatic irg could contribute to the diabetic syndrome. in order to locate the source of extrapancreatic glucagon, tissue extracts were assayed with anti-glucagon sera 30-k an ...1976186345
adenosine promoted accumulation of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate in rabbit vagus nerve.desheathed rabbit vagus nerve has been found to form cyclic amp when incubated with adenosine. this accumulation of cyclic amp is inhibited by theophylline but not by antiadrenergic agents, anticholinergic agents or local anaesthetics. depolarizing media are not able to promote cyclic amp accumulation in this preparation.1976186298
stimulation of lymphocytes by allogeneic lymphocytes and lymphoblasts in the presence of anti-hla antisera.anti-hla alloantisera inhibit mixed lymphocyte responses in which normal lymphocytes are used as stimulator cells. these same antisera are unable to inhibit lymphocyte proliferative responses stimulated by lymphoblastoid cells from cultured lymphoid cell lines. they also fail to inhibit either the generation of cytotoxic effector cells by lymphoblastoid cells or lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity against the lymphoblasts. although the number of hla antigens on the surface of lymphoblasts is report ...1976186270
dose-related sleep disturbances induced by coffee and caffeine.in a 13-night sleep laboratory study, each of 18 normal young adult males twice received 1 cup of warm water, 1-, 2-, and 4-cup equivalents of regular coffee, a 4-cup equivalent of decaffeinated coffee, and a 4-cup equivalent of caffeine. all beverages were administered 30 min before bedtime according to a balanced latin-square design. regular coffee produced dose-related changes in most standard electroencephalogram-electrooculogram (eeg-eog) sleep parameters, and the 4-cup equivalents of regul ...1994186223
exocrine pancreas under experimental conditions. ii. in vitro formation of paracrystalline structures and its functional consequences.the in vitro formation of paracrystalline structures after addition of high concentrations of amino acids to the incubation medium was investigated in pancreatic lobules and pancreatic homogenates. it could be shown that even in the homogenate, pcpa induced the formation of paracrystalline structures which exhibited the same ultrastructural arrangement as seen in the in vivo induced paracrystalline inclusions in the rer of the rat pancreas. in correlation with the morphological alterations, the ...1976186191
nucleotide sequence study of mouse 5.8s ribosomal rna.the primary structure of 5.8s mouse ribosomal rna has been studied and compared to the structures previously established for other animal species. the results obtained show that mouse 5.8s ribosomal rna yields pancreatic oligonucleotides with the same nucleotide sequence as the homologous oligonucleotides from rat cells. furthermore t1 oligonucleotides of 5.8s ribosomal rna from rat, mouse and human cells behave identically on fingerprinting fractionation and have the same composition as judged ...1976186131
chirality of the hydrogen transfer to nad catalyzed by myo-inositol dehydrogenase from klebsiella pneumoniae.chirality, hydrogen transfer, myo-inositol dehydrogenase. the chirality of the hydrogen transfer to nad catalyzed by myo-inositol dehydrogenase (myo-inositol: nad 2-oxydoreductase, ec 1.1.1.18) from klebsiella pneumoniae (formerly classified taxonomically as aerobacter aerogenes or kleb siella aerogenes) was investigated. [4-3h] nad was enzymatically reduced to [4-3h] nadh with non-labeled myoinositol and myo-inositol dehydrogenase. the stereochemistry of the prochiral center at c4 of the nadh p ...1976185832
[idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis. apropos of 1 case].idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis gives rise to anemia, due to repeated intra-alveolar hemorrhage, the reabsorption of which leads to hemosiderin deposits in the lung parenchyma. the authors report a case in a young woman aged 24 years whose illness started with anemia, then two months later, with hemoptysis and a broncho-pulmonary syndrome with a low grade fever. on the 6th month, there occurred a hazy infiltrate of both lung bases which was fleeting, mobile and recurrent. in the light of this ...1982185718

demyelinative myelopathy in mice induced by the da virus.an attenuated tissue culture adapted strain of da virus, an agent related to the theiler murine encephalomyelitis viruses (tmev), was used to induce a chronic myelopathy in mice. spastic paraparesis first appeared 5 months after weanings were inoculated intracerebrally with the virus. none died as a direct result of the infection, and none improved once paretic. the major pathological change in these mice was demyelination of thoracic segments of spinal cord. no clinical illness or demyelinative ...1976185333
normal rabbit alveolar macrophages. ii. their primary and secondary lysosomes as revealed by electron microscopy and cytochemistry.in this investigation, vacuoles containing tubular myelin proved to be digestive compartments with cytochemical reactivity for acid phosphatase and arylsulfatase. these cytochemical markers identify the secondary lysosomes, known to contain enzymes capable of hydrolyzing phospholipids like surfactant. therefore, it appears that alveolar macrophages possess the enzymatic machinery for the degradation of the tubular myelin found in their digestive vacuoles. although it thus appears evident that al ...1976185318
inter- and intralaboratory variability in antibiotic susceptibility tests with pseudomonas aeruginosa and enterobacteriaceae.a two-phase collaboratice study was designed for definition of the extent to which results of disk diffusion tests can be reproduced. two currently recommended techniques, the kirby-bauer method and the agar overlay method, were used. of special concern were tests of pseudomonas aeruginosa with moderate susceptibility to carbenicillin; gentamicin, tobramycin, polymyxin b, and colistin were also tested with p. aeruginosa as well as with klebsiella pneumoniae, escherichia coli, and proteus species ...1976185302
chirality of the hydrogen transfer to the coenzyme catalyzed by ribitol dehydrogenase from klebsiella pneumoniae and d-mannitol 1-phosphate dehydrogenase from escherichia coli.the stereochemistry of the hydrogen transfer to nad catalyzed by ribitol dehydrogenase (ribitol:nad 2-oxidoreductase, ec 1.1.1.56) from klebsiella pneumoniae and d-mannitol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase (d-mannitol-1-phosphate:nad 2-oxidoreductase, ec 1.1.1.17) from escherichia coli was investigated. [4-3h]nad was enzymatically reduced with nonlabelled ribitol in the presence of ribitol dehydrogenase and with nonlabelled d-mannitol 1-phosphate and d-mannitol 1-phosphate dehydrogenase, respectively. ...1976185137
the secretion of lysosomal enzymes.the studies reviewed in this chapter provide further evidence that the secretion of lysosomal enzymes and other hydrolases is a constitutive function of certain cells whereas in other cells is an inducible process probably contributing to the pathology of a variety of diseases. little is known of the mechanisms mediating the secretion of lysosomal enzymes. we have summarized evidence suggesting a role of microfilaments and microtubules in controlling enzyme release, but further studies of the bi ...1976185100
naltrexone-induced hypothermia in the rat.naltrexone, in relatively high doses, has been reported to cause a fall in body temperature in human ex-heroin addicts who had been abstinent for at least 6 weeks. the underlying mechanism of this hypothermic effect has been investigated in rats. the first consideration was that the temperature change was a reflection of delayed withdrawal but rats implanted with a morphine pellet 45 days earlier showed no significant change in temperature after a dose of naltrexone that caused marked withdrawal ...1976185061

biokinetics of galactose in the homozygotes and heterozygotes of both forms of galactosemia.41 heterozygoes and 4 homozygotes with a deficiency of galactose 1-phosphate uridyl transferase and also 3 heterozygotes and 1 homozygous patient with galactokinase deficiency were subjected to intravenous galactose loading tests with a dose of 350 mg/kg body weight in order to answer the question whether it is possible to detect the heterozygotes of both types of galactosemia by this method. for comparison, 38 healthy children and adolescents, 24 children with epidemic hepatitis and 4 children ...1983184990
electron spin resonance study of the synaptosome opiate receptor: kinetics of stereospecific binding of spin labeled morphine.morphine, spin labeled on the 3- or 6-position has been used as the opiate ligand in a study of the time course of stereospecific opiate binding to intact synaptosomes isolated from non-cerebellar rat brain. the broadening of electron spin resonance lines induced by immobilization of the ligand on binding has been used to determine the concentration of bound opiate. the stereospecificity of the reaction was measured by comparing ligand binding in the presence of thousand-fold molar excesses of d ...1976184858
the induction of tumour cell adhesiveness and intercellular junctions by a glycoprotein of rat ascites hepatoma cell surface.rat ascites hepatoma ah109a cells (present as a free form in vivo) can aggregate and then develop well-defined tripartite junctional complexes, including intermediate junctions, desmosomes and focal tight junctions, on incubation with a glycoprotein separated from rat ascites hepatoma ah136b cells (forming cell islnds in vivo). the development of binding structures was strongly inhibited by actinomycin d. ah109a cells or rat ascites hepatoma ys cells (present as a free form in vivo) previously t ...1976184812
substrate cycles in metabolic regulation and in heat generation.1. the presence of substrate cycles in tissues has been demonstrated by direct isotope methods in recent years. this demonstration has provided the impetus for a reappraisal of the roles of substrate cycling in metabolic regulation and in heat production. these aspects of substrate cycling are discussed in this paper. the relationship between near-equilibrium reactions and substrate cycles is emphasized, since this provides a basis for the derivation of a function describing in precise quantitat ...1976184791
differential responding to the beta movement after waking from rem and nonrem sleep.ten young adults were wakened from rem sleep and from nonrem sleep on two nonconsecutive nights and were tested to determine their upper and lower beta-movement thresholds. the ranges of the illusion were found to be significantly wider after waking from rem sleep than after waking from nonrem sleep or before sleep. the differential responding to the beta movement supports the experimental hypothesis that apparent motion may provide sensitive detectors of the operation during wakefulness of the ...1983184716

preliminary results with an oral application of killed purtussis bacteria in newborn infants.newborn babies have been vaccinated orally on five consecutive days, with 5 droplets of a vaccine containing 10(11) killed bordetella pertussis. eight out of twelve subjects showed antibody titres varying between 1:20 and 1:80.1976182603
effectiveness of orally administered bordetella pertussis vaccine in mice.oral administration of killed bordetella pertussis organisms to mice results in increased resistance to an intracerebral infection with virulent b. pertussis cells. the rate of survival is dependent on the dose of antigen. but besides specific systemic immunity, which is persistent over a long period, also transient non-specific resistance is increased. these effects are evidently induced without penetration of bacterial substances into the circulation.1976182602

stimulation of ornithine decarboxylase synthesis and its control by polyamines in regenerating rat liver and cultured rat hepatoma cells.ornithine decarboxylase has been induced in log phase hepatoma cells grown in suspension culture. induction with n6, o2'-dibutyryl cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate produced a 4-fold increase in enzyme activity by 3 hours which was followed by a return to base levels by 6 hours. induction with dexamethasone, a potent synthetic glucocorticoid, exhibited a slow steady rate of increase in enzyme activity, reaching a plateau level of approximately 5- to 6-fold stimulation by about 12 hours. indu ...1976180026
nad+-malic enzyme. regulatory properties of the enzyme from ascaris suum.the regulatory properties of the nad-dependent malic enzyme from the mitochondria of ascaris suum have been studied. the malate saturation curve exhibits sigmoidicity and the degree of this sigmoidicity increases as the ph is increased. fumarate was the only compound tested that stimulated the enzyme activity, whereas oxalacetate was the most powerful inhibitor. activation by low levels of fumarate was found to be competitive with malate. it is proposed that this stimulation has physiological si ...1976180002

[changes in the functional state and structure of the adrenals in cc14 poisoning].introduction of cci4 in doses of 0.1 and 0.2 ml/100 g to albino rats reduced the steroid production generated by adrenal sections. in 24 and 48 hours after poisoning with a small dose of cci4 (0.1 ml/100 g) there could be seen an increased concentration of 11-oxycorticosteroids in the plasma. morphological signs of a damage suffered by the gland were observed only in poisoning with a large dose of cci4 (0.2 ml/100 g).1975179852
plastocyanin: possible significance of quaternary structure.some properties of the blue copper protein plastocyanin from the green alga scenedesmus have been investigated and compared with that from spinach, including amino acid composition, isoelectric point and copper content. the protein from scenedesmus contains two, that from spinach four copper atoms per molecular weight of 40000. a combination of sodium dodecylsulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and quantification of sulfhydryl groups indicates a strong preference for a species composed of ...2003179807
steroid production by quartered and capsular rat adrenal gland in response to haemorrhage.60 min after rapid bleeding (1.5--2.0 per cent of b. w.) both aldosterone and corticosterone production rate by quartered rat adrenals were found to be elevated. however, no difference was observed in the rate of aldosterone and corticosterone production by capsular adrenals of sham operated and hypovolaemic rats. corticosterone production rate by decapsulated adrenals was much more higher after haemorrhage than in the control group. the same alterations could be observed incubating adrenal tiss ...1975179800
daily variation in concentration of plasma corticosteroid in hypophysectomized rats.a daily variation in the concentration of plasma corticosteroid hormone is present in hypophysectomized rats implanted with pellets of adrenocorticotropic hormone (acth) and thyroxine. although acth is necessary to maintain a functional adrenal, and thyroxine is required to permit the expression of the plasma corticosteroid rhythm, a normal daily variation in plasma corticosteroid concentration does not appear to depend on the periodic release of pituitary hormones.1976179796
properties of the low-temperature photosystem i primary reaction in the p-700-chlorophyll alpha-protein.the photosystem i primary reaction, as measured by electron paramagnetic resonance changes of p-700 and a bound iron-sulfur center, has been studied at 15 degrees k in p-700-chlorophyll alpha-protein complexes isolated from a blue-green alga. one complex, prepared with sodium dodecyl sulfate shows p-700 photooxidation only at 300 degrees k, whereas a second complex, prepared with triton x-100, is photochemically active at 15 degrees k as well as at 300 degrees k. analysis of these two preparatio ...1976179589
detection of type-specific antibody to herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 in human sera by complement-fixation tests.type-specific antigens for herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 were prepared by rigorous absorption of cell extracts with heterotypic immune sera. type-specificity was demonstrated by immunodiffusion and complement-fixation tests against immune sera prepared in rabbits. specific type 1 complement-fixing reactivity was detected in eleven of fifteen sera from roman catholic nuns and in two convalescent sera from patients with recurrent herpes labialis; these sera had been previously shown to contain ...1976179502
optic nerve manifestations of human congenital cytomegalovirus infection.a latin american male and a white female infant who had a cytomegalovirus infection on the first day of life had unilateral optic nerve hypoplasia. a white male infant who had cytomegalovirus isolated at 5 weeks of age had a unilateral partial coloboma of the optic nerve. a 4-month-old black infant with cytomegalovirus infection diagnosed at 2 days of age had a unilateral complete coloboma of the optic nerve associated with microphthalmia. optic nerve involvement was an important manifestation o ...1976179325
the influence of some dietary factors and/or treadmill exercise on rat and chicken tissue lipids and serum lipoproteins.four different experiments, one with cockerels and three with rats, are described which relate to the effect of dietary factors and/or exercise on serum and liver lipids as well as on serum lipoproteins. several classes of lipoproteins were isolated by preparative ultracentrifugation, and their purity assessed by gel electrophoresis. the lipid composition and protein content of serum lipoproteins and tissue were also determined. dietary cholesterol produced an enormous increase (200 fold) in ser ...1976179301
[bilateral tumors of the parotid glands. (author's transl)].bilateral parotid tumors occur very rarely; they account for 0.5% of 544 cases of parotid tumors recorded at the national cancer institute of milan from 1945 to 1974. three cases of bilateral tumors are described; two tumors were synchronous and one metachronous. the patients were women of 51, 46 and 52 years. the histologic type was the same on both sides in all cases, namely adenolymphoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma and mixed tumor respectively. surgical exicston was the treatment of choice; acc ...1997179172
lipids of klebsiella pneumoniae: the presence of phosphatidyl choline in succinate-grown cells.the carbon and energy source for aerobically grown cultures of klebsiella pneumoniae profoundly influenced the total lipid content and phosphatide composition. glucose-grown cells contained 13% lipid, 56% of which was phospholipids. succinate-grown cells contained 8% lipid, 66% of which was phospholipids. the predominant phosphatides of glucose-grown cells were phosphatidyl ethanolamine, 82%; phosphatidyl glycerol, 4.5%; phosphatidic acid, 5%; cardiolipin, 6.5%; phosphatidyl serine; and trace am ...1976178973
