The effect of neurotensin on submaximally-stimulated hepatobiliary and pancreatic secretion was studied in 6 healthy subjects. An intravenous infusion of neurotensin 1.4 ± 0.3 pmol/kg/min, designed to reproduce plasma neurotensin immunoreactivity levels within the physiological range, produced a significant increase in pancreatic bicarbonate output. Plasma concentrations of pancreatic polypeptide rose by 83 ± 16 pmol/l and were associated with a small reduction in trypsin, but no significant change in bilirubin outputs. 相似文献

Effects of salt stress on growth, photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation in chick-pea (Cicer arietinum L.) 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Plants of chick-pea (Cicer arietinum L. cv. ILC1919)
inoculated with Mesorhizobium ciceri strain ch-191
were grown in a controlled environmental chamber, and were administered
salt (0, 50, 75, and 100 mM NaCl) during the vegetative period. Four
harvests (4, 7, 11, and 14d after treatment) were analysed. The aim was to
ascertain whether the negative effect of saline stress on nitrogen fixation
is due to a limitation on the photosynthate supply to the nodule or a
limitation on the nodular metabolism which sustains nitrogenase
activity.Plant growth was affected only by the highest NaCl concentration,
whereas nitrogenase activity was affected from 50 mM. At the first harvest,
Rubisco, PEPC and MDH activities in leaves rose with salt, but fell during
the following harvests. The increase of PEPC and MDH in nodules at the two
first samplings was clearly related to salt concentration. While 50 mM NaCl
increased GS and GOGAT in nodules at some harvests, 100 mM strongly
inhibited these activities at all the harvests. The accumulation of
proline, amino acids and carbohydrates was clearly related to salt
especially in the leaves, whereas in the nodules the protein content was
boosted by salt. Although photosynthesis declined with NaCl, the response
of nitrogen fixation to salt was more pronounced. This situation, together
with carbohydrate accumulation, suggests that the lack of photosynthate
does not cause the inhibition of nitrogenase activity under this type of
stress. The similar trend observed for the PEPC-MDH pathway and the ARA
support the hypothesis concerning the limitation in the supply of energy
substrate, mainly malate, to the bacteroids. The accumulation of compatible
solutes is more a consequence of damage produced by salt stress than of a
protective strategy. 相似文献

Mitochondrial NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase (Mcr1p) is encoded by a single nuclear gene and imported into two different submitochondrial compartments: the outer membrane and the intermembrane space. We now show that the amino-terminal 47 amino acids suffice to target the Mcr1 protein to both destinations. The first 12 residues of this sequence function as a weak matrix-targeting signal; the remaining residues are mostly hydrophobic and serve as an intramitochondrial sorting signal for the outer membrane and the intermembrane space. A double point mutation within the hydrophobic region of the targeting sequence virtually abolishes the ability of the precursor to be inserted into the outer membrane but increases the efficiency of transport into the intermembrane space. Import of Mcr1p into the intermembrane space requires an electrochemical potential across the inner membrane, as well as ATP in the matrix, and is strongly impaired in mitochondria lacking Tom7p or Tim11p, two components of the translocation machineries in the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes, respectively. These results indicate that intramitochondrial sorting of the Mcr1 protein is mediated by specific interactions between the bipartite targeting sequence and components of both mitochondrial translocation systems. 相似文献

A 25-year-old previously asymptomatic pregnant woman at 36 weeks'' gestation was noticed to have repetitive monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. A dilated left ventricle with moderately reduced systolic function was found on echocardiographic examination. This is a very rare presentation of peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCMP) presenting with repetitive monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. 相似文献

A recently silenced, duplicate PgiC locus in Clarkia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Previous electrophoretic analysis showed that 17 diploid species of the
wildflower Clarkia (Onagraceae) have two cytosolic isozymes of
phosphoglucose isomerase (PGIC; EC 5.3.1.9), whereas 15 other diploid
species have a single PGIC. Molecular studies revealed that the two
isozymes in the former species are encoded by duplicate genes, PgiC1 and
PgiC2, whereas the single isozyme in the latter is always encoded by PgiC1.
Phylogenetic analysis of the nucleotide sequences implied that PgiC2 was
silenced four times independently in the genus. Here we describe a psi
PgiC2 from C. mildrediae, a species in which only PgiC1 is expressed. The
discovery of the psi PgiC2 is significant because it confirms a formal
prediction of the phylogenetic analysis. The psi PgiC2 includes 5,039
nucleotides corresponding to 18 of the 23 exons of PgiC, as well as the
intervening introns and 3' nontranslated region. The absence of an increase
of nucleotide substitutions in its "exons" suggests that the gene was
silenced recently. The present study appears to be the first to establish
that a specific duplicate gene locus regularly expressed in a group of
related plant species has been silenced in one of them. The multiple
independent silencings of PgiC2 suggest that it remained functional but
inessential in ancestral lineages. We discuss the possibility that PgiC2
may have been preserved in these lineages by selection against mutants
causing defective PGIC1- PGIC2 heterodimers.

Background
Coffee is an important crop and is crucial to the economy of many developing countries, generating around US70 billion per year. There are 115 species in the < i > Coffea < /i > genus, but only two, < i > C. arabica < /i > and < i > C. canephora < /i > , are commercially cultivated. Coffee plants are attacked by many pathogens and insect-pests, which affect not only the production of coffee but also its grain quality, reducing the commercial value of the product. The main insect-pest, the coffee berry borer ( < i > Hypotheneumus hampei < /i > ), is responsible for worldwide annual losses of around US70 billion per year. There are 115 species in the Coffea genus, but only two, C. arabica and C. canephora, are commercially cultivated. Coffee plants are attacked by many pathogens and insect-pests, which affect not only the production of coffee but also its grain quality, reducing the commercial value of the product. The main insect-pest, the coffee berry borer (Hypotheneumus hampei), is responsible for worldwide annual losses of around US500 million. The coffee berry borer exclusively damages the coffee berries, and it is mainly controlled by organochlorine insecticides that are both toxic and carcinogenic. Unfortunately, natural resistance in the genus Coffea to H. hampei has not been documented. To overcome these problems, biotechnological strategies can be used to introduce an α-amylase inhibitor gene (α-AI1), which confers resistance against the coffee berry borer insect-pest, into C. arabica plants. 相似文献8.

In the present paper, the taxonomic classification of 134 lactobacilli isolates from vaginal samples of 200 women of Tucumán, Argentina, is reported. They were clustered in three metabolic groups of the genus Lactobacillus, most belonging to the obligately homofermentative group (56%), mainly represented by Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii and L. acidophilus. In the facultatively heterofermentative group (24%), the dominant species were L. paracasei subsp. paracasei and L. agilis, and in the obligately heterofermentative group (20%), L. brevis was the dominant species. All strains were studied for surface characteristics and adhesion-predicting properties. A correlation between the methods employed for hydrophobicity testing of the different isolates (Microbial Adhesion to Hydrocarbons and Salt Aggregation Test) is reported. Most strains were highly hydrophobic. Their hemagglutination capability with human erythrocytes was also tested, which was positive only for a few strains. Some isolates were self-aggregating. From our results, strains that shared the properties assayed were selected for further testing of some other desirable characteristics, such as antagonistic substance production, adhesion to biological substrates, and appropriate technological properties, to suggest the elaboration of a probiotic for the vaginal tract. 相似文献
