Expression of prodynorphin-derived peptides and mRNA in guinea-pig cortex
(Elsevier, 1993-08)
The distributions and extent of processing of four prodynorphin-derived peptides (dynorphin A (1-17), dynorphin A (1-8), dynorphin B, and [alpha]-neoendorphin) were determined in ten regions of the cortex as well as in the ...
Free and nonprotein amino acids of Tetrahymena pyriformis
(Elsevier, 1956-05)
Paper chromatography was used to determine 20 amino acids and related compounds present in both the free and the nonprotein forms in Tetrahymena pyriformis. The most abundant free amino acids in the cells were found to be ...
Stimulation by prostaglandin E2 of glucagon and insulin release from isolated rat pancreas
(Elsevier, 1975-09)
To ascertain whether prostaglandins (PG) may play a role in the secretion of glucagon and in an attempt to elucidate the conflicting observations on the effects of PG on insulin release, the isolated intact rat pancreas ...
The inhibitive effects of steroid analogues in the binding of tritiated 5[alpha]-dihydrotecto3terone to receptor proteins from rat prostate tissue
(Elsevier, 1975-02)
The relationship between molecular structure and the binding potential of steroids to receptor proteins was investigated. Twenty-four selected steroids were studied in minced incubations of rat pro state tissue. Measurements ...
Kinetic comparisons of amniotic fluid inactive renin and renal renin using synthetic and human renin substrates
(Elsevier, 1986-12)
Inactive renin has been isolated from pooled amniotic fluid and purified ~642-fold. Prior to activation the isolates has ~4% of the activity found after activation. The observation is similar to that reported for inactive ...
S1.23 Investigation of the sialyltransferases present in two populations of ehrlich ascites tumor cells
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman & Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1993-08)
Fluorescein isothiocyanates: Improved synthesis and purity : Spectral studies
(Elsevier, 1974-01)
Modification of the methods of synthesis by direct reaction of the isomeric aminofluoresceins with a limited excess of thiophosgene in the presence of calcium carbonate has yielded the 5- and 6-isothiocyanatofluoresceins ...
Inactivation of Escherichia coli 2-amino-3-ketobutyrate CoA ligase by phenylglyoxal and identification of an active-site arginine peptide
(Elsevier, 1992-11-15)
Treatment of homogeneous preparations of 2-amino-3-ketobutyrate CoA ligase from Escherichia coli, a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent enzyme, with phenylglyoxal, 4-(oxyacetyl)phenoxyacetic acid, 2,3-butanedione, or ...
Anticonvulsant effects of mu (DAGO) and delta (DPDPE) enkephalins in rats
(Elsevier, 1988)
The effects of highly selective mu and delta opioid peptide agonists were determined in two rat models of experimentally-induced convulsions, the flurothyl threshold test and the maximal electroshock test. Intracerebroventricular ...
Simple procedures for the rapid cleavage of ester lipids and for the large-scale isolation from brain of cerebroside sulfate
(Elsevier, 1979-12)
The ester groups of glycerophospholipids in tissue extracts can be cleaved in less than 10 min at room temperature if the lipids are extracted with hexane-isopropanol and the filtrate is treated with methanolic NaOH. The ...
