    Maternal care, hippocampal glucocorticoid receptors, and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal responses to stress (1997)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1997-09-12
    Description: Variations in maternal care affect the development of individual differences in neuroendocrine responses to stress in rats. As adults, the offspring of mothers that exhibited more licking and grooming of pups during the first 10 days of life showed reduced plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone and corticosterone responses to acute stress, increased hippocampal glucocorticoid receptor messenger RNA expression, enhanced glucocorticoid feedback sensitivity, and decreased levels of hypothalamic corticotropin-releasing hormone messenger RNA. Each measure was significantly correlated with the frequency of maternal licking and grooming (all r's 〉 -0.6). These findings suggest that maternal behavior serves to "program" hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal responses to stress in the offspring.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Liu, D -- Diorio, J -- Tannenbaum, B -- Caldji, C -- Francis, D -- Freedman, A -- Sharma, S -- Pearson, D -- Plotsky, P M -- Meaney, M J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1997 Sep 12;277(5332):1659-62.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Developmental Neuroendocrinology Laboratory, Douglas Hospital Research Center, McGill University, Montreal, Canada H4H 1R3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9287218" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Phenylalanine depletion for the management of phenylketonuria: use of enzyme reactors with immobilized enzymes (1978)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1978-09-01
    Description: Multitubular enzyme reactors with immobilized phenylalanine ammonia lyase were tested in vitro and in vivo for depletion of phenylalanine in circulating blood. Sustained reduction of phenylalanine was achieved in less than 30 minutes. A 50% decrease of phenylalanine was obtained with a 2-hour application of enzyme reactors and was maintained for more than 2 days. Similar enzyme reactors have therapeutic potential for temporary management of phenylketonuric patients when their circulating phenylalanine becomes exceedingly high because of infection, fever, or pregnancy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ambrus, C M -- Ambrus, J L -- Horvath, C -- Pedersen, H -- Sharma, S -- Kant, C -- Mirand, E -- Guthrie, R -- Paul, T -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1978 Sep 1;201(4358):837-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/567372" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Diversity of circumsporozoite antigen genes from two strains of the malarial parasite Plasmodium knowlesi (1985)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1985-08-23
    Description: The complete nucleotide sequence of the coding region of the circumsporozoite antigen gene (CS gene) of the Nuri strain of the malarial parasite Plasmodium knowlesi is presented. The gene from the Nuri strain exhibits a novel form of sequence diversity when compared to the CS gene from the H strain. Instead of the 12 tandem repeating 36-base pair units of the H strain, the Nuri strain contains 16 tandem repeating 27-base pair units of a different nucleotide sequence that encodes a different repeating peptide. In contrast, the 5' and 3' coding and noncoding sequences flanking the repeats are 98 percent conserved in both strains.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sharma, S -- Svec, P -- Mitchell, G H -- Godson, G N -- 1 R01 AI21496-01/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1985 Aug 23;229(4715):779-82.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/4023712" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Expression of the major surface antigen of Plasmodium knowlesi sporozoites in yeast (1985)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1985-05-17
    Description: The circumsporozite protein, a surface antigen of the sporozoite stage of the monkey malarial parasite Plasmodium knowlesi, was expressed in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae by using an expression vector containing the 5' regulatory region of the yeast alcohol dehydrogenase I gene. It was necessary to eliminate the entire 5' upstream region of the parasite DNA to obtain the expression of this protein. Only the circumsporozoite precursor was produced by the yeast transformants, as detected by immunoblotting. About 55 and 20 percent of the circumsporozoite protein produced in yeast was associated wtih the 25,000 g and 150,000 g particulate fractions, respectively. The protein could be solubilized in Triton X-100 and was stable in solubilized extracts.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sharma, S -- Godson, G N -- 1 R01 AI21496-01/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1985 May 17;228(4701):879-82.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3890178" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Influence of Etherel and Gibberellic Acid on Carbon Metabolism, Growth, and Essential Oil Accumulation in Spearmint (Mentha Spicata) (1999)
    Springer
    Photosynthetica 36 (1999), S. 509-517

    Keywords: amino acids ; chlorophyll ; 14CO2- and 14C-sucrose incorporation ; organic acids ; primary photosynthetic metabolites ; stem ; stomatal conductance ; sugars ; transpiration rate
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Changes in growth parameters and 14CO2 and [U-14C]-sucrose incorporation into the primary metabolic pools and essential oil were investigated in leaves and stems of M. spicata treated with etherel and gibberellic acid (GA). Compared to the control, GA and etherel treatments induced significant phenotypic changes and a decrease in chlorophyll content, CO2 exchange rate, and stomatal conductance. Treatment with etherel led to increased total incorporation of 14CO2 into the leaves wheras total incorporation from 14C sucrose was decreased. When 14CO2 was fed, the incorporation into the ethanol soluble fraction, sugars, organic acids, and essential oil was significantly higher in etherel treated leaves than in the control. However, [U-14C]-sucrose feeding led to decreased label incorporation in the ethanol-soluble fraction, sugars, organic acids, and essential oils compared to the control. When 14CO2 was fed to GA treated leaves, label incorporation in ethanol-insoluble fraction, sugars, and oils was significantly higher than in the control. In contrast, when [U-14C]-sucrose was fed the incorporation in the ethanol soluble fraction, sugars, organic acids, and oil was significantly lower than in the control. Hence the hormone treatment induces a differential utilization of precursors for oil biosynthesis and accumulation and differences in partitioning of label between leaf and stem. Etherel and GA influence the partitioning of primary photosynthetic metabolites and thus modify plant growth and essential oil accumulation.

    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Changes in the utilization pattern of primary substrate, viz. [U-14C] acetate, 14CO2 and [U-14C] saccharose, and the contents of 14C fixation products in photosynthetic metabolites (sugars, amino acids, and organic acids) were determined in Fe-deficient citronella in relation to the essential oil accumulation. There was an overall decrease in photosynthetic efficiency of the Fe-deficient plants as evidenced by lower levels of incorporation into the sugar fraction and essential oil after 14CO2 had been supplied. When acetate and saccharose were fed to the Fe-deficient plants, despite a higher incorporation of label into sugars, amino acids, and organic acids, there was a lower incorporation of these metabolites into essential oils than in control plants. Thus, the availability of precursors and the translocation to a site of synthesis/accumulation, severely affected by Fe deficiency, is equally important for the essential oil biosynthesis in citronella.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Changes in growth, CO2 exchange rate, and distribution of photosynthetically fixed 14CO2 into the primary photosynthetic metabolic pool (sugars, amino acids and organic acids) and essential oil accumulation were determined in leaves (leaf positions 1-6 from apex) of developing peppermint grown in a solution culture at Zn concentrations of 0 and 0.05 g m-3. There was a significant decrease in 14C incorporation in total, ethanol-soluble and ethanol-insoluble fractions in Zn deficient plants at all leaf positions. 14C incorporated in essential oil and in sugars were significantly higher in leaf pairs 1 to 3 than in leaf pairs 4 to 6. 14C incorporation into amino acids and organic acids was higher in all leaf pairs in Zn deficient plants. Statistical analysis showed a positive significant association between Zn content of leaf and 14C incorporation into ethanol-soluble fraction and sugars and a negative correlation with 14C incorporation into amino acids and organic acids. Hence the content of sugars in leaves significantly influences essential oil accumulation under Zn stress.

    Drag coefficient and velocity of rise of a single collasping two-phase bubble (1997)

    Notes: The velocity of rise and the drag of a single vapor bubble collapsing in another immiscible liquid were measured experimentally. During the process of collapse, the dispersed-phase vapor bubble was transformed to a two-phase bubble with condensate accumulating at the rear of the two-phase bubble and vapor at its top. Such a configuration of a two-phse bubble is commonly known as a drobble. Experimental data for the six pairs of liquids covered a range of drobble (two-phase bubble) Reynolds numbers from 0.003 to 3,000. Two regimes of drobble movement were encountered. In the first regime (Re 〈 100), the drobble maintained its sphericity, and the observed drag was less than the solid-sphere drag predicted by the established solid sphere or Hadamard et al. fluid-sphere drag models. In the second regime, the drobble was deformed and oscillated; the observed drag departed suddenly from predictions of spherical models and increased with increasing Reynolds numbers. The critical Reynolds number covered a range from 100 to 1,000. Empirical models for drobble velocity and drag coefficient are derived.

    Notes: The influence of fillers like clay, silica, and carbon black on the rheological properties of 1,2 polybutadiene has been studied using a capillary rheometer. Silica filled compound exhibited the highest viscosity and clay filled compound the lowest viscosity at all shear rates. The effect of filler loading and temperature on the Theological behavior has also been studied. Smooth extrudates were obtained in most of the cases and die swell was lower for silica and carbon black filled compounds than for clay filled compounds. Rheograms of different 1,2 polybutadiene systems have been found to merge into a master curve using modified viscosity and shear rate functions that contain melt flow index as a parameter.

    Studies of conformational isomerism in α-melanocyte stimulating hormone by design of cyclic analogues (1998)

    Notes: Results of energy calculations for α-MSH (α-melanocyte stimulating hormone, Ac-Ser1-Tyr2-Ser3-Met4-Glu5-His6-Phe7-Arg8-Trp9-Gly10-Lys11-Pro12-Val13-NH2) and [D-Phe7]α-MSH were used for design of cyclic peptides with the general aim to stabilize different conformational isomers of the parent compound. The minimal structural modifications of the conformationally flexible Gly10 residue, as substitutions for L-Ala, D-Ala, or Aib (replacing of hydrogen atoms by methyl groups), were applied to obtain octa- and heptapeptide analogues of α-MSH(4-11) and α-MSH(5-11), which were cyclized by lactam bridges between the side chains in positions 5 and 11. Some of these analogues, namely those with substitutions of the Gly10 residue with L-Ala or Aib, showed biological activity potencies on frog skin comparable to the potency of the parent tridecapeptide hormone. Additional energy calculations for designed cyclic analogues were used for further refinement of the model for the biologically active conformations of the His-Phe-Arg-Trp “message” sequence within the sequences of α-MSH and [D-Phe7]α-MSH. In such conformations the aromatic moieties of the side chains of the His6, L/D-Phe7, and Trp9 residues form a continuous hydrophobic “surface,” presumably interacting with a complementary receptor site. This feature is characteristic for low-energy conformers of active cyclic analogues, but it is absent in the case of inactive analogues. This particular spatial arrangement of functional groups involved in the message sequence is very close for α-MSH and [D-Phe7]α-MSH, as well as for biologically active cyclic analogues despite differences of dihedral angle values for corresponding low-energy conformations. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
