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
nitrogenase of azotobacter chroococcum. kinetics of the reduction of oxidized iron-protein by sodium dithionite.the kinetics of the reduction of oxidized fe-protein of nitrogenase from azotobacter chroococcum by sodium dithionite were studied by stopped-flow and rapid-freezing e.p.r. (electron-paramagnetic-resonance) spectroscopy. the appearance of the gav. = 1.94 e.p.r. signal (0.24 electron integrated intensity/mol) was associated with a one-electron reduction by so2--with k greater than 10(8)m-1-s-1 at 23 degrees c. a value of k = 1.75s-1 was obtained for the rate of dissociation of s2o42- into 2so2-- ...1976180978

disruption of the fucose pathway as a consequence of genetic adaptation to propanediol as a carbon source in escherichia coli.in escherichia coli, l-fucose is dissimilated via an inducible pathway mediated by l-fucose permease, l-fucose isomerase, l-fucose kinase, and l-fuculose 1-phosphate aldolase. the last enzyme cleaves the six-carbon substrate into dihydroxyacetone phosphate and l-lactaldehyde. aerobically, lactaldehyde is oxidized to l-lactate by a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (nad)-linked dehydrogenase. anaerobically, lactaldehyde is reduced by an nadh-coupled reductase to l-1,2-propanediol, which is lost ...1976181364
thyroid peroxidase, thyroglobulin, camp and dna in human thyroid.tissues from normal thyroid, euthyroid multinodular goiter, toxic goiter, hashimoto's thyroiditis, thyroid adenoma, and carcinoma were examined for their content of deoxyribonucleic acid (dna), thyroid peroxidase activity (tpa), thyroglobulin (tg), and adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (camp). compared with normal thyroids dna was increased in the neoplastic tissues and decreased in euthyroid multinodular goiter. quantitative changes of thyroglobulin were observed, especially in the thyroid t ...1976181398
growth on d-arabitol of a mutant strain of escherichia coli k12 using a novel dehydrogenase and enzymes related to l-1,2-propanediol and d-xylose metabolism.escherichia coli k12 cannot grow on d-arabitol, l-arabitol, ribitol or xylitol (reiner, 1975). using a mutant of e. coli k12 (strain 3; sridhara et al., 1969) that can grow on l-1,2-propanediol, a second-stage mutant was isolated which can utilize d-arabitol as sole source of carbon and energy for growth. d-arabitol is probably transported into the bacteria by the same system as that used for the transport of l-1,2-propanediol. the second-stage mutant constitutively synthesizes a new dehydrogena ...1976181526
assessment of effect of starvation, glucose, fatty acids and hormones on alpha-decarboxylation of leucine in skeletal muscle of rat.the present investigations of rates of oxidation of [u-14c] or [1-14c]leucine by homogenates of gastrocnemius muscle of fed and starved rats have indicated that 14co2 production is mainly the result of alpha-decarboxylation of leucine in this tissue. this incomplete oxidation was not the result of imparied tricarboxylic acid cycle since the oxidation of palmitate proceeded to completion within the experimental conditions. in the subsequent studies, the effect of altered nutrition and metabolic f ...1976181544
comparative membrane microviscosity of fish and mammalian rhabdoviruses studied by fluorescence depolarization.the microviscosity of the hydrophobic region of the membrane of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus was determined using fluorescence depolarization analysis of the probe 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene and was found to be much lower at 37 c than that of another rhabdovirus, vesicular stomatitis virus. however, the microviscosity of this fish virus at 18 c, the temperature at which it was grown, corresponded to the microviscosity of vesicular stomatitis virus at 37 c. data obtained with the fi ...1976181597
unified mass-action theory for virus neutralization and radioimmunology.all ideas implicit in the papers since 1953 involved in applying mass-action thermodynamics to antibody-antigen reactions are unified by the use of: (a) the intermediary concept of extent of reaction; (b) the concept of intrinsic association constant; (c) a statistical analysis for probable complexes; and (d) identification of the complex or complexes that contribute to the bioassay. several general theoretical examples are given that show the limitations of linear interpretations of equilibrium ...1976185688
[experimental aortic stenosis, its subsequent correction and the activity of oxidative enzymes in the myocardium].the activity of the respiratory enzymes of myocardial mitochondria--succinatedehydrogenase and cytochromixidase--was studied in experimentally induced aortic stenosis and after its elimination in 98 mongrel dogs. the observation period of stenosis was 1, 15, 30 and 60 days, and after its elimination--1, 7, 15 and 30 days. the activity of the enzymes in question was found to grow after the production of aortic stenosis. the highest level of their enzymatic activity was observed on the 15th day af ...1976181629

neural properties of cultured human endocrine tumor cells of proposed neural crest origin.cells from human endocrine tumors of proposed neural crest origin--five pheochromocytomas, two medullary carcinomas of the thyroid, and two bronchial carcinoids--were grown in monolayer culture. cells from all nine tumors, including epithelial forms of medullary carcinoma of the thyroid and bronchial carcinoid cells, and epithelial and neuron-like pheochromocytoma cells demonstrated all-or-nothing, short-duration action potentials.1976179139
critical density for relaying in dictyostelium discoideum and its relation to phosphodiesterase secretion into the extracellular medium.the critical cell density for relaying in d. discoideum, n*, has been measured as a function of cell density, n, and time after harvesting, t. it has logarithmic dependence on n for 2.5 x 10(4)/cm2 less than n less than 7.5 x 10(5)/cm2 and saturates for n more than 1.0 x 10(6)/cm2. n* is an increasing function of time after harvesting. the phosphodiesterase (pde) secretion rate on which n* depends is a constant. expressions were derived which relate n* to pde secretion and diffusion. they have b ...1976175073
chemotherapeutic effects of some alkylating derivatives of nitrosourea on the development of tumors transplacentally induced in rats by enu.the application of bcnu, ccnu and meccnu has been shown to greatly reduce the number of tumors induced in rats by transplacentally administered enu and to inhibit the full development of tumor proliferation. moreover, no neurinomas appeared after treatment with ccnu. the application of gcnu proved to be much less effective. our statistics in the form of tables showing these findings are included and discussed.1976175631

[dynamics of sleep and the waking state after labyrinthine deafferentation].the author carried out studies on awake state and sleep (slow and paradoxal) after lybyrinth deafferentation. the states were evaluated by behavior, eeg, myogram and eye movements. the labyrinth defferentation was performed in combination (chemical and mechanical). bilateral labyrinth deafferentation reduced the duration of the awake state from 30% to 17%, p less than 0.001. the slow sleep was increased at the same time but there was no statistical significance. the parodoxal sleep was due both ...1976179775
immunopathogenicity and oncogenicity of murine leukemia viruses. ii. infection of mice and rats with scripps leukemia virus.the pathologic consequences of infection of newborn mice and rats with mulv (scripps leukemia virus--slv) were observed. serum mulv p30 concentrations of most strains were elevated 20 to 100 times that of controls while mulv gp70 levels were elevated only 1.1 to 14.8 times, probably reflecting in part the higher concentrations of gp70 in control sera but also indicating the lack of parallelism in regulation of synthesis of these two viral antigens. infected mice of most strains developed immunol ...1976175661
brown adipose tissue mitochondria: recoupling caused by substrate level phosphorylation and extramitochondrial adenosine phosphates.1. uncoupled oxidative phosphorylation in isolated guinea pig brown-adipose-tissue mitochondria is reflected by a low phosphorylation state of adenosine phosphates in the mitochondrial matrix and in the extramitochondrial space during oxidation of succinate or glycerol 1-phosphate in the presence of serum albumin and 100 mum adp. recoupling of respiration and phosphorylation in the mitochondria is indicatdd by a dramatic increase in the phosphorylation state of adenine nucleotides in both compar ...1976174912
croton oil- and benzo(a)pyrene-induced changes in cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate and cyclic guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate phosphodiesterase activities in mouse epidermis.the topical application of croton oil, benzo(a)pyrene, acetic acid, and 12-o-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate to mouse skin caused an increase in the activity of epidermal low-affinity cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic amp) phosphodiesterase. the increase was most pronounced with croton oil, began between 4 and 6 hr after application of this material, and was maintained for at least 48 hr. the activity of cyclic guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate phosphodiesterase was also increased by tre ...1976174815
comparison of guinea pig cytomegalovirus and guinea pig herpes-like virus: pathogenesis and persistence in experimentally infected animals.the pathogenesis of guinea pig cytomegalovirus (gpcmv) and guinea pig herpes-like virus (gphlv) in guinea pigs was compared. animals were inoculated with the two viruses by different routes and sacrificed after varying periods of time. gpcmv was consistently isolated from salivary gland 2 weeks postinoculation and thereafter following intraperitoneal or subcutaneous incoulaton. virus was less frequently found in other tissues including blood, spleen, and kidney. intranuclear inclusions were seen ...1976178599
investigations on isolated islets of langerhans in vitro. xiii. experiments concerning the preparation conditions with collagenase.during the digestion of pancreatic pieces with collagenase for prepartion of isolated islets the enzymes in incubation medium (collangenolytic and/or proteolytic) can alter the secretion behavior of a- and b-cells. insulin release after such an enzymatic attack is characterized by an enhanced basal secretion and a diminished and delayed glucose response. overdigestion results in a decreased glucagon secretion in response to arginine, a diminished insulin content, and a decreased thiol-protein-di ...1976178501

synchronous digestion of sv40 dna by exonuclease iii.we have established an optimal condition for the synchronous digestion of sv40 dna with escherichia coli exonuclease iii. electron microscopy and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were used to obtain accurate measurements on the lengths of dna before and after exonuclease iii digestion. based on this finding, a new method for determining the sequence of long duplex dna can be realized. it involves (a) the synchronous digestion of the dna from the 3' ends with exonuclease iii, followed by (b) re ...1976174717

proposed structure of two defective viral dna oligomers produced in 3t3 cells transformed by the ts-a mutant of polyoma virus.the various oligomeric viral dna species produced at 32 c by two related syblines of ts-a-transformed mouse 3t3 cells were characterized. results from the analysis of the cleavage products observed after digestion with restriction endonucleases from haemophilus parainfluenzae, escherichia coli ri, and haemophilus suis are consistent with the assumption that in both sublines, the major oligomeric component is a dimer from which a segment of different length is deleted. the major oligomeric (27s) ...1976176437
airborne transmission of polyoma virus.polyoma virus (pv) infection was transmitted through the air of an animal laboratory. mice free of detectable antibodies to pv were exposed for 1 month to the airborne environment of laboratories housing naturally infected mice. the seroconversion rate was 75% (24/32), as measured by hemagglutination inhibition. control mice, housed in the sterile atmosphere of a mass air flow cabinet (mafc) in the same laboratory, had a seroconversion rate of 15.8% (3/19). airborne transmission occurred bia pv ...1976176376

editorial: herpesvirus and cancer of uterine cervix.frequent coitus with several partners or at a very young age carries the greatest risk of cancer of the uterine cervix. lowest risk is among celibate women and those who live in communities where marriage is stable and where premarital and extramarital coitus is infrequent. all evidence points to the venereal hypothesis of cervical cancer. herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) has been implicated. immunological defenses, oxygen tension, ph, and hormonal changes in the cervical tissues may also ...1976175880
