[amino acid reserves of the blood in patients with schizophrenia and their correction in insulin coma].free amino acid content was measured in the blood serum in patients with permanently progressive paranoid schizophrenia under conventional insulin shock therapy. the influence of several amino acids (methionine, glutamic acid) preinjection on their base levels was also assessed. metabolic response to the insulin coma was different in preinjected vs. control groups. glutamine acid-preinjected patients displayed less pronounced shifts in amino acid reserves in the blood serum that smoothed the sho ...20082566218
dynamic changes in neuronal volume resulting from osmotic and sodium transport manipulations.electrophysiologic parameters such as input resistance and response to microperfusion of neurotransmitters vary under circumstances where neurons from isolated ganglia of aplysia californica are subjected to either long-term (several hours) blockade of active sodium transport or to hypo- or hyperosmotic solutions. since one of multiple possible events under these circumstances is neuronal volume changes, we have developed a system using cultured aplysia neurons and confocal scanning laser micros ...20041299127
[effect of vitamins a, e and k on the indices of the glutathione antiperoxide system in gingival tissues in periodontosis].glutathione reductase is activated and the content of glutathione sulfhydryl groups is increased in the gingival tissue of patients afficted with parodontosis. the degree of alterations depends on the degree of the development and character of the disease. application of antioxidant vitamin therapy (vitamins a, e and k) locally and per os normalizes the parameters under study and improves the status of the parodontium.20144060685

mechanism of action of neurotoxins.this paper is a summary of studies over the past few years that pertain to animal neurotoxins. these toxins are found throughout the animal kingdom. homologies exist in the structures of these poisons within classes and point to conservation of active sites throughout evolution. in the case of the peptides, invariant amino acids may be involved in the active site, be essential for maintaining the shape and conformation of the molecule or serve as a fulcrum for folding of the peptide chain after ...1977170850
the introduction of poliovirus rna into cells via lipid vesicles (liposomes).large unilamellar vesicles (luv) composed of phosphatidylserine are capable of encapsulating poliovirus ribonucleic acid (rna) and delivering it efficiently to cells in an infectious form. the biological activity of vesicle-entrapped poliovirus rna was 1-2 x 10(4) plaque forming units/nanogram (pfu/ng) and appeared to be enhanced by ribonuclease treatment of the vesicle preparations (infectivity = 1-2 x 10(5) pfu/ng). vesicle-mediated rna infection produced equivalent titers in primate and nonpr ...1978222477
do endorphin residues of beta lipotropin in hormone reinforce reproductive functions?the beta-endorphin residue of pituitary beta-lipotropin hormone, which regulates utilization and storage of body fat, is several times more potent than morphine in raising pain tolerance. it also produces habituation and dependency behavior. recently it was found to be present in amniotic fluid and to be a releaser of prolactin. it now appears that the placenta is a rich source of endorphins. these findings may open a new chapter in understanding molecular determinants of behavior patterns respo ...1978222147
identification of the iron-sulfur center of spinach ferredoxin-nitrite reductase as a tetranuclear center, and preliminary epr studies of mechanism.epr spectroscopic and chemical analyses of spinach nitrite reductase show that the enzyme contains one reducible iron-sulfur center, and one site for binding either cyanide or nitrite, per siroheme. the heme is nearly all in the high spin ferric state in the enzyme as isolated. the extinction coefficient of the enzyme has been revised to e386 = 7.6 x 10(4) cm-1 (m heme)-1. the iron-sulfur center is reduced with difficulty by agents such as reduced methyl viologen (equilibrated with 1 atm of h2 a ...1979216690
