Neurotoxic esterase: Characterization of the solubilized enzyme and the conditions for its solubilization from chicken brain microsomal membranes with ionic, zwitterionic, or nonionic detergents
(Elsevier, 1987-05-01)
Neurotoxic esterase (NTE) is a membrane-bound protein found in highest concentration in brain and lymphocytes. The enzyme has no known physiological function, but its organophosphorylation and aging in neural tissue are ...
Composition and origin of summertime air pollutants at Deep Creek Lake, Maryland
(Elsevier, 1989)
A 1 month intensive summertime field study conducted in rural western Maryland resulted in a comprehensive set of fine particle, gaseous and meteorological data. Sulfur in the assumed form of ammonium sulfate accounted for ...
Cadmium concentrations in recent snow and firn layers in the Canadian arctic
(Springer-Verlag, 1994-05)
2-Methoxyethanol inhibits gap junctional communication in rat myometrial myocytes
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-06)
The glycol ethers 2-methoxyethanol (2-ME) and 2-ethoxyethanol (2-EE) prolong gestation in rodents. Because gap junctions in the myometrium likely facilitate parturition, the present study examined inhibition of gap junctional ...
A coalescent simulation of marker selection strategy for candidate gene association studies Please cite this article as follows: Cole SM, Long JC. 2007. A Coalescent Simulation of Marker Selection Strategy for Candidate Gene Association Studies. Am J Med Genet Part B 147B:86–93.
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2008-01-05)
Recent efforts have focused on the challenges of finding alleles that contribute to health-related phenotypes in genome-wide association studies. However, in candidate gene studies, where the genomic region of interest is ...
Development and evaluation of an advanced training technology course within a union-based industrial emergency response training program
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-04)
Background The Health and Safety Department of the United Automobile Workers recently introduced the use of Advanced Training Technologies (ATTs) into a previously successful Industrial Emergency Response (IER) program. ...
Phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride elicits and intensifies the clinical expression of neuropathic insults
(Springer-Verlag, 1992-01)
It has been recently reported that phenyl-methanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) when given to hens after a neuropathic organophosphate (OP) promotes organophosphate-induced delayed polyneuropathy (OPIDP). Chicks are resistant ...
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 ...
Radiographic outcomes among South African coal miners
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-10)
Objectives : This study, the first to document the prevalence of pneumoconiosis among a living South African coal mining cohort, describes dose–response relationships between coal workers’ pneumoconiosis and respirable ...
