Summary The accuracy and reproducibility of the gas-chromatographic method for the analysis of PHB and PHA in whole cells of Alcaligenes eutrophus H16 and Pseudomonas putida KT2442 were determined. It was found that for analysis of PHA the methanolysis time in the assay had to be increased to 4 h. Accuracy of the PHB and PHA assay were 0.018 mg and 0.304 mg respectively, based on estimation of the measurement error. 相似文献

Late-flowering mutants that have been described in ecotypes other than Landsberg erecta (Ler) have been found to be dominant alleles of the FRI locus located on chromosome 4, which determines lateness in many very late ecotypes. The extreme lateness of dominant FRI alleles depends on dominant alleles at the FLC locus that maps on the top of chromosome 5. FLC alleles with this effect have been found in all ecotypes tested (Col, Ws, S96, Est and Li) except Ler. Most likely the same locus confers lateness to the luminidependens (ld) mutant. Genotypes with a dominant FRI allele and the monogenic recessive ld mutant are only slightly later with recessive Ler alleles at the FLC locus. Genotypes where the dominant FLC alleles are combined with FRI or with the ld mutant, are strongly responsive to vernalization, which is much less effective in the FLC-Ler background. 相似文献

Cell-free extracts from dry wheat (Triticum vulgare L.) and rye (Secale cereale L.) embryos do not synthesize their corresponding lectins when incubated under conditions optimalized for translation of either exogenous or endogenous mRNA. Only when the extracts are prepared and incubated in the complete absence of sulphydryl containing compounds lectins are synthesized in vitro. Since immunoprecipitation techniques could not demonstrate unequivocally the presence of lectin among the cell-free translation products a specific affinity purification procedure has been developed in order to proof the presence of stored lectin mRNAs in dry wheat and rye embryos.Abbreviations DTT

Background
Prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing worldwide. T2D prevention by lifestyle intervention is effective. Pragmatic scalable interventions are needed, with evidence to efficiently target and monitor such interventions. We report pooled analyses of data from three European trial cohorts: to analyse T2D incidence, sustained weight loss and utility of risk predictors.Methods
We analysed data on 749 adults with impaired glucose tolerance (278 men and 471 women, mean age 56 years, mean BMI 31 kgm−2) recruited between 1993 and 2003, and randomised to intensive lifestyle intervention (I) or lifestyle advice control (C). The intervention aimed to increase physical activity, modify diet, and promote weight loss≥5%. Using Cox-regression survival analysis, we assessed T2D incidence and the impact on T2D incidence of sustained weight loss, and of baseline cut-point values of FINDRISC score, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and HbA1c.Results
Mean follow-up duration was 3.1 years. T2D was diagnosed in 139 participants (I = 45/379, C = 94/370). Cumulative T2D incidence was 57% lower in the intervention compared with the control group (HR 0.42 (95% CI 0.29 to 0.60) P<0.001). Participants with ≥5% weight loss at one year had 65% lower T2D incidence (HR 0.35 (95% CI 0.22 to 0.56) P<0.001); maintaining ≥5% weight loss for two and three years further reduced T2D incidence. Recommended cut-points to identify those at high risk for T2D would have identified different proportions of European Diabetes Prevention Study (EDIPS) participants with similar hazard-ratios for intervention effect.Conclusions
Pooled analysis of EDIPS trial data reinforces evidence for T2D prevention by lifestyle intervention. Analysis showed the preventive effect of ≥5% weight loss, especially if maintained long term, which has utility for intervention monitoring. Analysis of proposed cut-points demonstrates difficulties in balancing risk and benefit, to efficiently target interventions and suggests evidence is needed to define clinical policy.Trial registrations

Objective:
Obesity is a key factor in the development of the metabolic syndrome (MetS), which is associated with increased cardiometabolic risk. We investigated whether obesity classification by BMI and body fat percentage (BF%) influences cardiometabolic profile and dietary responsiveness in 486 MetS subjects (LIPGENE dietary intervention study).Design and Methods:
Anthropometric measures, markers of inflammation and glucose metabolism, lipid profiles, adhesion molecules, and hemostatic factors were determined at baseline and after 12 weeks of four dietary interventions (high saturated fat (SFA), high monounsaturated fat (MUFA), and two low fat high complex carbohydrate (LFHCC) diets, one supplemented with long chain n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n‐3 PUFAs)).Results:
About 39 and 87% of subjects classified as normal and overweight by BMI were obese according to their BF%. Individuals classified as obese by BMI (≥30 kg/m2) and BF% (≥25% (men) and ≥35% (women)) (OO, n = 284) had larger waist and hip measurements, higher BMI and were heavier (P < 0.001) than those classified as nonobese by BMI but obese by BF% (NOO, n = 92). OO individuals displayed a more proinflammatory (higher C reactive protein (CRP) and leptin), prothrombotic (higher plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 (PAI‐1)), proatherogenic (higher leptin/adiponectin ratio) and more insulin resistant (higher HOMA‐IR) metabolic profile relative to the NOO group (P < 0.001). Interestingly, tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α) concentrations were lower post‐intervention in NOO individuals compared with OO subjects (P < 0.001).Conclusions:
In conclusion, assessing BF% and BMI as part of a metabotype may help to identify individuals at greater cardiometabolic risk than BMI alone. 相似文献6.

The present study investigated whether development or maintenance of a relatively increased fat mass in normal-weight patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), despite periods of weight loss, may be related to impaired beta-adrenoceptor-mediated responses in lipid utilization and thermogenesis. Nine COPD patients and nine healthy controls (body mass index: 23.0 +/- 1.3 vs. 23.8 +/- 0.6 kg/m2, not significant; fat mass: 19.0 +/- 2.1 vs. 11.9 +/- 1.5 kg, P < 0.01) received consecutive 30-min infusions of 6, 12, and 24 ng x kg fat free mass(-1) x min(-1) isoproterenol. During beta-adrenergic stimulation, nonesterified fatty acid levels increased significantly less in COPD patients (P < 0.001). Respiratory exchange ratio decreased similarly in both groups, indicating a similar change in the rate of lipid to carbohydrate oxidation. Energy expenditure increased similarly in both groups during beta-adrenergic stimulation. However, because plasma isoproterenol concentrations were significantly higher in COPD patients, thermogenesis related to isoproterenol concentration was significantly reduced in this group (P < 0.05). In conclusion, beta-adrenoceptor-mediated lipolysis and thermogenesis are impaired in COPD patients. This may play a role in the development or maintenance of their relatively increased fat mass. 相似文献

In this study, we investigated the hypothesis that impairments in forearm skeletal muscle free fatty acid (FFA) metabolism are present in patients with type 2 diabetes both in the overnight fasted state and during beta-adrenergic stimulation. Eight obese subjects with type 2 diabetes and eight nonobese controls (Con) were studied using the forearm balance technique and indirect calorimetry during infusion of the stable isotope tracer [U-(13)C]palmitate after an overnight fast and during infusion of the nonselective beta-agonist isoprenaline (Iso, 20 ng. kg lean body mass(-1) x min(-1)). Additionally, activities of mitochondrial enzymes and of cytoplasmatic fatty acid-binding protein (FABP) were determined in biopsies from the vastus lateralis muscle. Both during fasting and Iso infusion, the tracer balance data showed that forearm muscle FFA uptake (Con vs. type 2: fast 449+/-69 vs. 258 +/-42 and Iso 715+/-129 vs. 398+/-70 nmol. 100 ml tissue(-1) x min(-1), P<0.05) and FFA release were lower in type 2 diabetes compared with Con. Also, the oxidation of plasma FFA by skeletal muscle was blunted during Iso infusion in type 2 diabetes (Con vs. type 2: Iso 446 +/- 274 vs. 16+/-70 nmol. 100 ml tissue(-1) x min(-1), P<0.05). The net forearm glycerol release was increased in type 2 diabetic subjects (P< 0.05), which points to an increased forearm lipolysis. Additionally, skeletal muscle cytoplasmatic FABP content and the activity of muscle oxidative enzymes were lowered in type 2 diabetes. We conclude that the uptake and oxidation of plasma FFA are impaired in the forearm muscles of type 2 diabetic subjects in the overnight fasted state with and without Iso stimulation. 相似文献

Dendritic cells are less susceptible to human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) infection than to HIV-1 infection 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Duvall MG Loré K Blaak H Ambrozak DA Adams WC Santos K Geldmacher C Mascola JR McMichael AJ Jaye A Whittle HC Rowland-Jones SL Koup RA 《Journal of virology》2007,81(24):13486-13498
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection of dendritic cells (DCs) has been documented in vivo and may be an important contributor to HIV-1 transmission and pathogenesis. HIV-1-specific CD4+ T cells respond to HIV antigens presented by HIV-1-infected DCs and in this process become infected, thereby providing a mechanism through which HIV-1-specific CD4+ T cells could become preferentially infected in vivo. HIV-2 disease is attenuated with respect to HIV-1 disease, and host immune responses are thought to be contributory. Here we investigated the susceptibility of primary myeloid DCs (mDCs) and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) to infection by HIV-2. We found that neither CCR5-tropic primary HIV-2 isolates nor a lab-adapted CXCR4-tropic HIV-2 strain could efficiently infect mDCs or pDCs, though these viruses could infect primary CD4+ T cells in vitro. HIV-2-exposed mDCs were also incapable of transferring virus to autologous CD4+ T cells. Despite this, we found that HIV-2-specific CD4+ T cells contained more viral DNA than memory CD4+ T cells of other specificities in vivo. These data suggest that either infection of DCs is not an important contributor to infection of HIV-2-specific CD4+ T cells in vivo or that infection of DCs by HIV-2 occurs at a level that is undetectable in vitro. The frequent carriage of HIV-2 DNA within HIV-2-specific CD4+ T cells, however, does not appear to be incompatible with preserved numbers and functionality of HIV-2-specific CD4+ T cells in vivo, suggesting that additional mechanisms contribute to maintenance of HIV-2-specific CD4+ T-cell help in vivo. 相似文献
