Immunochemical studies on the metabolism of nitrosamines by ethanol-inducible cytochrome P-450
(Elsevier, 1985-04-30)
The ethanol-induced rabbit liver microsomal cytochrome P-450, P-450LM3a, has been shown previously to efficiently catalyze the demethylation of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) with a Km of 2.9 mM. Since the predominant Km ...
The effects of feeding on heart activity in the terrestrial slug, Limax maximus : central and peripheral control
(Springer-Verlag, 1985-07)
The role of the central nervous system (CNS) in the modulation of heart activity induced by feeding was investigated in the terrestrial slug, Limax maximus . Intact slugs and semi-intact preparations were used to examine ...
Sensitization to stress: The enduring effects of prior stress on amphetamine-induced rotational behavior
(Elsevier, 1985-09-16)
In rats with a unilateral 6-OHDA lesion of the substantia nigra exposure to footshock or immobilization stress produced a long-lasting enhancement in the rotational behavior evoked by a subsequent injection of amphetamine. ...
Properties of the tryptophan residue in rabbit liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 isozyme 2 as determined by fluorescence
(Elsevier, 1985-04-30)
Cytochrome P-450 isozyme 2 from rabbit liver microsomes fluoresces upon excitation at 295 nm due to the single tryptophyl residue (Trp121) in the protein. The fluorescence spectrum, which is not altered by the presence of ...
Cell proliferation-associated expression of a recently evolved isozyme of triosephosphate isomerase
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1985-04)
An electrophoretically unique, thermolabile isozyme of triosephosphate isomerase (TPI; EC 5.3.1.1) accounts for 10–30% of the enzymatic activity in a range of mitotically active human cells and tissues. This type 2 form ...
Solubilization of hen brain neurotoxic esterase in dimethylsulfoxide
(Elsevier, 1985-10-15)
Neurotoxic esterase is the putative site of initiation of organophosphorus-induced neuropathy. The protein is membrane-associated and will thus require solubilization before it can be purified. Its enzymic activity was ...
Prey selection by the copepod Diacyclops thomasi
(Springer-Verlag, 1985-03)
1. Adult females of the predaceous copepod, Diacyclops thomasi , consistently selected for the soft-bodied rotifers Synchaeta pectinata, Polyarthra major and P. remata when presented various combinations of 8 rotifer species ...
Hyperbaric pressure of 51 atmospheres is without effect on the depression of oxygen uptake in kidney tissue culture produced by halothane
(Elsevier, 1985-09-30)
Although anesthetized animals are awakened when subjected to increased pressure, compression does not result in antagonism of all phenomena associated with these drugs. It has recently been demonstrated that halothane's ...
Differential proliferative responses of cultured Schwann cells to axolemma and myelin-enriched fractions. II. Morphological studies
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman and Hall Ltd ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1985-08)
Axolemma-enriched and myelin-enriched fractions were prepared from bovine CNS white matter and conjugated to fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC). Both unlabelled and FITC-labelled axolemma and myelin were mitogenic for ...
