identification and characterization of deoxyguanosine-crotonaldehyde adducts. formation of 7,8 cyclic adducts and 1,n2,7,8 bis-cyclic adducts.crotonaldehyde, a chemically reactive alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compound, is an important industrial chemical and a ubiquitous environmental pollutant. it has been shown to be carcinogenic and mutagenic. we have studied the reaction of crotonaldehyde with nucleosides and 5'-mononucleotides and found three different types of adducts with deoxyguanosine and 2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-monophosphate. no adducts could be isolated either with nucleosides other than deoxyguanosine or with nucleotides o ...20061489932

the effect of mazindol on metabolic and regulatory changes in obese women during weight reduction.the effect of mazindol (1 mg/day) on some metabolic and regulatory values was investigated in ten adult obese women and compared with the same number of controls during weight reduction in hospital (a five-times repeated cycle of 5 days complete starvation and 3 days on a 500 kcal(2.1mj/day diet.) mazindol caused a rise of hydroxyacyl coa dehydrogenase in striated muscle by 70 per cent and a marked decline in malic dehydrogenase. mazindol also produced higher levels of non-esterified fatty acids ...199993588
an assessment of four methods for the assay of amylase activity.this paper describes an investigation carried out to select a reagent kit for amylase assay to replace the wohlgemuth method currently in use in our laboratory. the following four commercial kits were assessed: amylochrome, phadebas, dyamyl-l and amylotube. the results showed that the first three kits which employed chromogenic substrates gave better reproducibility than the amylotube kit which used plain starch substrate and the starch-iodine reaction. results obtained with the former methods c ...200194982
studies on the energy metabolism of opossum (didelphis virginiana) erythrocytes--vi. de novo purine nucleotide biosynthesis is limited to the final steps of the pathway in vitro.1. high pressure liquid radiochromatography was used to show the incorporation of [14c] formate with z-compounds into atp and gtp in opossum erythrocytes. 2. the use of z-riboside with [14c] formate resulted in more extensive labeling of atp than the z-base/[14c] formate combination as substrates for nucleotide biosynthesis. 3. substantial accumulation of zmp and ztp, but no zdp was detected in the chromatograms. 4. atp was unstable in red cells metabolizing in the presence of z-compounds under ...20052253476

[testing the fertility of the spermatozoa].the sperm count, an absolutely necessary examination, seems no longer sufficient to establish a prognosis of fertility. fertilization in vitro, for a diagnostic purpose, would be the ideal examination, but because of the ethical and technical problems it raises, other tests have been developed. the test of spermatozoid survival at 24 hours in menezzo's b2 medium and interspecific fertilization in vitro (hamster-test) are carried out on isolated spermatozoids according the fiv protocol. the survi ...20102922546

effects of probucol on hyperlipidemic patients with cardiac allografts.probucol, a well-tolerated new drug with moderate hypocholesterolemic effect in the general population, was evaluated in hypercholesterolemic (greater than 300 mg/dl) cardiac transplant recipients. nine patients received probucol, 500 mg twice daily, in a single-blind, placebo-controlled trial lasting 20 weeks. six patients responded with cholesterol falls of -20% (mean, -13.2%), and 1 patient showed minimal change. one patient developed cardiac rejection and was excluded, and another responded ...200094402
eating behavior in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis patients.three groups consisting of 12 subjects each (continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis [capd] patients, hemodialysis patients, and healthy controls) matched for age, sex, and body weight were invited to a test meal for the study of hunger, fullness, and food preferences. they were served an excess portion of hash served on a plate placed on a hidden scale ("viktor"), which was connected to a computer registering the eating process on-line. the patients filled in visual analogue scales (vas) conc ...20061462988

the effects of cefonicid on the pharmacokinetics of a once-a-day theophylline formulation.the authors have explored the effects of cefonicid on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of a new sustained-release theophylline formulation in 12 adult patients suffering from chronic obstructive lung disease, by comparing the pharmacokinetic data obtained following four days of medication with theophylline alone with those found at the end of seven days of combined treatment with the same theophylline preparation plus cefonicid. blood theophylline levels were assessed in duplicate by polarized ...20092663736
familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia.a family with familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia is described. the syndrome is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait and is characterized by marked elevation of serum thyroxine, due to increased binding of thyroxine to albumin, whereas serum triiodothyronine is normal. serum free thyroxine is normal when measured with ultrafiltration or equilibrium dialysis, but artefactually high when measured with an analogue assay. the importance of the condition, which is harmless, lies in the misi ...20113111180

an ultracytochemical study of the respiratory potency, integrity, and fate of the sea urchin sperm mitochondria during early embryogenesis.cytochrome oxidase activity via cytochrome c, as demonstrated by the diaminobenzidine procedure, has been employed in this electron microscope cytochemical study to determine the respiratory potency, integrity and fate of the arbacia sperm mitochondrion at fertilization and during early embryogenesis. the sperm mitochondrion remained intact and was intensely positive for cytochrome oxidase activity both during and after penetration into the egg. the mitochondrion remained highly reactive through ...2003167033
russell bodies consist of heterogenous glycoproteins in b-cell lymphoma cells.the phenotypic expression of russell bodies (rb) in the tumor cells of two patients with different types of b-cell lymphoma and of one patient with plasma cell myeloma were examined. in both b-cell lymphomas, the rbs reacted consistently with anti-leu 8 and anti-immunoglobulin m. the rbs in one case also reacted with other monoclonal antibodies, including anti-cd5, cd19, cd22, and cd25. the membranes of most of the tumor cells containing rbs did not stain. in the myeloma, the rbs reacted only wi ...20051317669

aging and immunity.the function of the immune system peaks at around puberty and gradually declines thereafter with advance in age. the age-related decline of immunological function primarily occurs in the t cell-dependent immune system and is generally associated with increase in susceptibility to infections as well as in incidence of autoimmune phenomena in the elderly. the age-related change in t cell-dependent immune functions can be ascribed to the physiological thymic atrophy which starts in an early stage o ...20061449050

comparison of biometric data of children with high and low levels of lead in the blood.this paper deals with a biometric study of 312 boys and girls, aged 2.5-16 years, living in an area with a long history of pollution by lead. the aim was to search for eventual relationships between ten biometric variables and measures of lead absorption in the bodies, i.e. the amount of lead in the blood (pbb), of these children. standardized values of the biometric variables were compared in the high-pbb and low-pbb categories, by multivariate analysis of variance. comparison of the vectors of ...20143946592
the biochemical pathology of toxic cell death.the toxicity of chemicals is, in most cases, a consequence of their metabolism, and the cytochrome p450-dependent mixed function oxidases are the most common mechanisms mediating such biotransformations. the mechanisms linking metabolism to the genesis of lethal cell injury is a central concern of biochemical pathology. for many years it has been widely held that cellular injury is mediated by the interaction of chemically reactive metabolites with macromolecules. the evidence to support such an ...20143903478

stiffness and force in activated frog skeletal muscle fibers.single fibers, isolated intact from frog skeletal muscles, were held firmly very near to each end by stiff metal clasps fastened to the tendons. the fibers were then placed horizontally between two steel hooks inserted in eyelets of the tendon clasps. one hook was attached to a capacitance gauge force transducer (resonance frequency up to approximately 50 khz) and the other was attached to a moving-coil length changer. this allowed us to impose small, rapid releases (complete in less than 0.15 m ...20143955178
