Although in the past several mechanisms and factors have been proposed to be responsible for alcoholic liver disease (ALD), at present the involvement of oxygen free radicals and consequently of oxidative stress has acquired remarkable credit. In numerous experimental studies it has been shown the occurrence of alcohol-induced generation of oxygen- and ethanol-derived free radicals through different pathways and from different sources. Mitochondria appear to be both an important source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and also a primary target of ethanol-induced damage. The consistent induction of the mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) observed in experimental animals after acute and chronic ethanol administration has all the characteristics of a "stress response" to an oxidative insult. 相似文献

Summary The development of atherosclerotic disease results from the interaction between environment and genetic make up. A key factor
in atherogenesis is the oxidative modification of lipids, which is involved in the recruitment of mononuclear leukocytes to
the arterial intima – a process regulated by several groups of adhesion molecules and cytokines. Activated leukocytes, as
well as endothelial mitochondria, can produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are associated with endothelial dysfunction,
a cause of reduced nitric oxide (NO) bioactivity and further ROS production. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR)
and liver X receptors (LXR) are nuclear receptors significantly involved in the control of lipid metabolism, inflammation
and insulin sensitivity. Also, an emerging role has been suggested for G protein coupled receptors and for the small Ras and
Rho GTPases in the regulation of the expression of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) and of tissue factor, which are involved
in thrombus formation and modulation of vascular tone. Further, the interactions among eNOS, cholesterol, oxidated LDL and
caveola membranes are probably involved in some molecular changes observed in vascular diseases. Despite the relevance of
oxidative processes in atherogenesis, anti-oxidants have failed to significantly improve atherosclerosis (ATS) prevention,
while statins have proved to be the most successful drugs. 相似文献

Despite the continuous breeding that has been conducted with asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) since the beginning of the last century, there is little information on parameters for predicting direct and indirect selection response. Yield traits for blanched asparagus production were studied along a two-year period in a half-sib family population planted in Zavalla, Argentina. Half-sib family mean heritability values were low for total yield and marketable spear number (0.31 and 0.35), intermediate for marketable yield and total spear number (0.55 and 0.64), and relatively high for spear diameter and spear weight (0.75 and 0.74). An average increase in marketable yield of 15.9% is expected after each cycle of selection of the top 5% of the families. Total yield failed to express significant genetic correlations with any of the yield components; meanwhile marketable yield showed highly significant relations with market spear number (0.96) and spear weight (0.89). Indirect selection response over yield components (CRx) failed to be advantageous over direct selection (Rx), since the ratio CRx/Rx was always equal or below unity. 相似文献

UV damage in shallow lakes: the implications of water mixing 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Zagarese Horacio E.; Tartarotti Barbara; Cravero Walter; Gonzalez Pablo 《Journal of plankton research》1998,20(8):1423-1433
The plankton of shallow lakes is expected to experience increasingexposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) within the next decades.In addition to stratospheric ozone depletion, decreases in dissolvedorganic carbon (DOC), caused by climate warming or acidification,will result in greater UVR penetration in many lakes. Circulationpatterns induced by moderate winds force the plankton of shallowlakes to be cycled through the whole water column. This translatesinto higher doses and fluctuating dosage rates. Here, we reportthe results of a series of in situ UV exposureexperiments in which two zooplankton crustaceans (one capableof photorecovery and the other not) were incubated either atfixed depths or under simulated mixing. Our main goal was toassess the extent to which the results from static incubationscould be extrapolated to vertically moving zooplankton. Staticincubations accurately predicted the survival of moving individualsfor the species without photorecovery, but failed to do so forthe species capable of photorecovery. The fluctuations in dosagerate for high doses tended to increase the survival of the specieswith photorecovery. We contend that neglecting the effects ofvertical mixing may result in a biased perception of UVR effectsin shallow lakes. 相似文献

The ability of particular cell surface glycoproteins to recycle and become
exposed to individual Golgi enzymes has been demonstrated. This study was
designed to determine whether endocytic trafficking includes significant
reentry into the overall oligosaccharide processing pathway. The Lec1
mutant of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells lack N -
acetylglucosaminyltransferase I (GlcNAc-TI) activity resulting in surface
expression of incompletely processed Man5GlcNAc2 N -linked
oligosaccharides. An oligosaccharide tracer was created by exoglycosylation
of cell surface glycoproteins with purified porcine GlcNAc-TI and
UDP-[3H]GlcNAc. Upon reculturing, all cell surface glycoproteins that
acquired [3H]GlcNAc were acted upon by intracellular mannosidase II, the
next enzyme in the Golgi processing pathway of complex N -linked
oligosaccharides (t1/2= 3-4 h). That all radiolabeled cell surface
glycoproteins were included in this endocytic pathway indicates a common
intracellular compartment into which endocytosed cell surface glycoproteins
return. Significantly, no evidence was found for continued oligosaccharide
processing consistent with transit through the latter cisternae of the
Golgi apparatus. These data indicate that, although recycling plasma
membrane glycoproteins can be reexposed to individual Golgi-derived
enzymes, significant reentry into the overall contiguous processing pathway
is not evident.

The role of site-specific N-glycosylation in secretion of soluble forms of rabies virus glycoprotein 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Rabies virus glycoprotein is important in the biology and pathogenesis of
neurotropic rabies virus infection. This transmembrane glycoprotein is the
only viral protein on the surface of virus particles, is the viral
attachment protein that facilitates virus uptake by the infected cell, and
is the target of the host humoral immune response to infection. The
extracellular domain of this glycoprotein has N- glycosylation sequons at
Asn37, Asn247, and Asn319. Appropriate glycosylation of these sequons is
important in the expression of the glycoprotein. Soluble forms of rabies
virus glycoprotein were constructed by insertion of a stop codon just
external to the transmembrane domain. Using site-directed mutagenesis and
expression in transfected eukaryotic cells, it was possible to compare the
effects of site-specific glycosylation on the cell-surface expression and
secretion of transmembrane and soluble forms, respectively, of the same
glycoprotein. These studies yielded the surprising finding that although
any of the three sequons permitted cell surface expression of full-length
rabies virus glycoprotein, only the N-glycan at Asn319 permitted secretion
of soluble rabies virus glycoprotein. Despite its biological and medical
importance, it has not yet been possible to determine the crystal structure
of the full-length transmembrane form of rabies virus glycoprotein which
contains heterogeneous oligosaccharides. The current studies demonstrate
that a soluble form of rabies virus glycoprotein containing only one sequon
at Asn319 is efficiently secreted in the presence of the N-glycan
processing inhibitor 1-deoxymannojirimycin. Thus, it is possible to purify
a conformationally relevant form of rabies virus glycoprotein that contains
only one N-glycan with a substantial reduction in its microheterogeneity.
This form of the glycoprotein may be particularly useful for future studies
aimed at elucidating the three-dimensional structure of this important
glycoprotein.

Corn samples were collected in 1999 from three departments of Entre Réos province, Argentina, and were surveyed for mould
contamination and natural occurrence ofFusarium mycotoxins, ochratoxin A and aflatoxins.Fusarium verticillioides was the most prevalent fungal species recorded at all departments. Zearalenone, deoxynivalenol and ochratoxin A were not
found in any samples. Only one of the 52 corn samples analysed was contaminated with aflatoxin B1 (17 μg/kg). Fumonisin B1 was found in 58 % of samples (range of positive samples: 47– 3,347 μg/kg), fumonisin B2 in 33.0 % (range of positive samples: 23–537 μg/kg) and fumonisin B3 in 25.0 % (range of positive samples: 24–287 μg/kg) of them. This is the first report on the natural occurrence of mycotoxins
in corn from Entre Ríos province, Argentina. Levels of fumonisins were lower than detected in other Argentinian provinces. 相似文献

Despite the recent introduction of biological response modifiers and potent new small-molecule antirheumatic drugs, the efficacy of methotrexate is nearly unsurpassed in the treatment of inflammatory arthritis. Although methotrexate was first introduced as an antiproliferative agent that inhibits the synthesis of purines and pyrimidines for the therapy of malignancies, it is now clear that many of the anti-inflammatory effects of methotrexate are mediated by adenosine. This nucleoside, acting at one or more of its receptors, is a potent endogenous anti-inflammatory mediator. In confirmation of this mechanism of action, recent studies in both animals and patients suggest that adenosine-receptor antagonists, among which is caffeine, reverse or prevent the anti-inflammatory effects of methotrexate. 相似文献
