Identification of the predominant constituents produced by the plus and the minus strains of Blakeslea trispora is described. The occurrence of xylenes in the volatiles produced by the plus strain is reported. Additionally, production of 3-hydroxy-3-methylbutanal by the plus strain and dimethyl allyl alcohol by the minus strains were confirmed. Isoamyl alcohol, 1-octen-3-ol, 3-octanol and β-phenethyl alcohol were identified in volatiles from both strains. 相似文献

The Retention Index (I) value and the different I values from two columns, carbowax 20M (20M) and OV101 (ΔI:I20M ? IOV101) of aliphatic compounds were calculated by several kinds of linear equations under programmed linear temperature conditions. The equations could be used to predict appropriate compounds as well as a database of I and ΔI values. 相似文献

Selective sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) treatment promotes urinary glucose excretion, thereby reducing blood glucose as well as body weight. However, only limited body weight reductions are achieved with SGLT2i treatment. Hyperphagia is reportedly one of the causes of this limited weight loss. However, the effects of SGLT2i treatment on systemic energy expenditure have not been fully elucidated. Herein, we investigated the acute effects of dapagliflozin, a SGLT2i, on systemic energy expenditure in mice. Eighteen hours after dapagliflozin treatment oxygen consumption and brown adipose tissue (BAT) expression of ucp1, a thermogenesis-related gene, were significantly decreased as compared to those after vehicle treatment. In addition, dapagliflozin significantly suppressed norepinephrine (NE) turnover in BAT and c-fos expression in the rostral raphe pallidus nucleus (rRPa) which contains the sympathetic premotor neurons responsible for thermogenesis. These findings indicate that the dapagliflozin-mediated acute decrease in energy expenditure involves a reduction in BAT thermogenesis via decreased sympathetic nerve activity from the rRPa. Furthermore, common hepatic branch vagotomy abolished the reductions in ucp1 expression and NE contents in BAT and c-fos expression in the rRPa. In addition, alterations in hepatic carbohydrate metabolism, such as decreases in glycogen contents and upregulation of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, manifested prior to the suppression of BAT thermogenesis, e.g. 6 hours after dapagliflozin treatment. Collectively, these results suggest that SGLT2i treatment acutely suppresses energy expenditure in BAT via regulation of an inter-organ neural network consisting of the common hepatic vagal branch and sympathetic nerves. 相似文献

We investigated chromosomal damage caused by a typical flavonoid, quercetin, and its two conjugates, quercetin-3-O-sulfate and isorhamnetin, and their protective effects against chromosomal damage induced by H2O2. The chromosomal damage was detected by the cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) assay using a lymphoblastoid cell line, WIL2-NS. We found that quercetin itself induced chromosomal damage at 10 microM, but quercetin-3-O-sulfate and isorhamnetin did not induce damage up to 30 microM. In the medium used for the CBMN assay, quercetin (at 100 microM) generated a high concentration of H2O2, but the two conjugates did not at the same concentration. On the other hand, pretreatment with quercetin (at 1 microM), quercetin-3-O-sulfate (at 10 microM), and isorhamnetin (at 5 microM) prevented H2O2-induced chromosomal damage to WIL2-NS cells. These findings suggest that the induction and prevention of H2O2-induced chromosomal damage are different between quercetin and its metabolites. 相似文献

Small hepatocytes are cells that express characteristic phenotypes such as a high growth potential and differentiation capacity. In order to identify rat-small-hepatocyte specific proteins, we separated the cellular proteins of isolated small and parenchymal hepatocytes by 2D polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Comparison of their profiles revealed a protein with a molecular mass of 37 kDa in the small hepatocytes that was not present in the parenchymal hepatocytes. Proteolytic peptide mass fingerprinting was used to identify the protein and it was found to be annexin III. The validity of the identification was confirmed by Western blot analysis with anti-annexin III antibody. 相似文献

The involvement of protein phosphatases in the activation of superoxide (O2-)- generating enzyme in human neutrophils was examined using calyculin A, an inhibitor of protein phosphatase type 1 and 2A. Calyculin A inhibited the phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)- and opsonized zymosan (OZ)-activated O2- generation by human neutrophils. This inhibitory effect of calyculin A on PMA-activated O2- generation was reversed by the addition of KT5926, a specific inhibitor of myosin light chain kinase and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II. These results suggest that the addition of calyculin A may cause hyperphosphorylation of some protein(s) that plays a crucial role in the PMA-dependent activation of O2- generating enzyme, and that this protein hyperphosphorylation may be evoked by a KT5926-sensitive kinase or its downstream kinase. Whereas two-dimensional analysis involving 32P revealed that calyculin A caused the hyperphosphorylation of many proteins, KT5926 mainly reduced the calyculin A-induced hyperphosphorylation of a 67 kDa protein in activated neutrophils, suggesting that the hyperphosphorylation of the 67 kDa protein might inhibit the PMA-dependent activation of NADPH oxidase. The 67 kDa cytosolic protein was moderately phosphorylated on the addition of PMA. On the other hand, in the absence of calyculin A, KT5926 inhibited both PMA-induced O2- generation and phosphorylation of the 67 kDa protein. Amino acid sequence analysis of peptides derived from the 67 kDa protein revealed that the 67 kDa protein was identical to L-plastin, an actin-bundling protein. We conclude that optimally phosphorylated L-plastin may play some crucial role in the activation of NADPH oxidase. 相似文献

We compared the influence of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation on oxidative DNA damage in bone marrow between young and aged rats. As a marker of oxidative DNA damage, 8-hydroxydeoxy-guanosine (8-OHdG) in DNA was analyzed. Young (5-week-old) and aged (100-week-old) female Wistar rats were given DHA (300mg/kg body weight/day) or vehicle (control) orally for 12 weeks. The 8-OHdG in the bone marrow in the aged DHA group was significantly higher than that in the other groups. Vitamin E concentrations, however, did not differ among the groups regardless of the DHA supplementation. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) concentrations in the aged control group were approximately 1/2 those in the young control group. The concentrations of vitamin C tended to be higher in the young DHA group and lower in the aged DHA group when compared to their respective control groups. Changes in the concentrations of vitamin C and vitamin E in plasma were similar to those in the bone marrow. The activity of hepatic l-gulono- γ -lactone oxidase, an enzyme responsible for vitamin C synthesis, corresponded well to the concentrations of vitamin C in the bone marrow and the plasma. These results suggest that in aged rats, but not young rats, excess supplementation of DHA induces oxidative DNA damage in bone marrow and that the decrease in vitamin C synthesis in aged rats is involved in the mechanisms of DNA damage. 相似文献

Ketogulonicigenium vulgare DSM 4025, known as a 2-keto-L-gulonic acid producing strain from L-sorbose via L-sorbosone, surprisingly produced L-ascorbic acid from D-sorbitol, L-sorbose, L-gulose, and L-sorbosone as the substrate under a growing or resting condition. As the best result, K. vulgare DSM 4025 produced 1.37 g per liter of L-AA from 5.00 g per liter of L-sorbosone during 4 h incubation time at 30 degrees C under the resting cell condition having 5.70 g per liter of wet cells. The precursor of L-AA formation from D-sorbitol and L-sorbose, except for L-gulose, was thought to be the putative furanose form of L-sorbosone. This is the first time it is reported that bacteria can produce vitamin C via L-sorbosone. 相似文献

The identification of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) has revolutionized approaches to cell-based therapy for injured and ischemic tissues. However, the mechanisms by which EPCs promote the formation of new vessels remain unclear. In this study, we obtained early EPCs from human peripheral blood and late EPCs from umbilical cord blood. Human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) were also used. Cells were evaluated for their tube-forming potential using our novel in vitro assay system. Cells were seeded linearly along a 60 μm wide path generated by photolithographic methods. After cells had established a linear pattern on the substrate, they were transferred onto Matrigel. Late EPCs formed tubular structures similar to those of HUVECs, whereas early EPCs randomly migrated and failed to form tubular structures. Moreover, late EPCs participate in tubule formation with HUVECs. Interestingly, late EPCs in Matrigel migrated toward pre-existing tubular structures constructed by HUVECs, after which they were incorporated into the tubules. In contrast, early EPCs promote sprouting of HUVECs from tubular structures. The phenomena were also observed in the in vivo model. These observations suggest that early EPCs cause the disorganization of pre-existing vessels, whereas late EPCs constitute and orchestrate vascular tube formation. 相似文献
