We have separated the effect of insulin on glucose distribution/transport, glucose disposal, and endogenous production (EGP) during an intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) by use of a dual-tracer dilution methodology. Six healthy lean male subjects (age 33 +/- 3 yr, body mass index 22.7 +/- 0.6 kg/m(2)) underwent a 4-h IVGTT (0.3 g/kg glucose enriched with 3-6% D-[U-(13)C]glucose and 5-10% 3-O-methyl-D-glucose) preceded by a 2-h investigation under basal conditions (5 mg/kg of D-[U-(13)C]glucose and 8 mg/kg of 3-O-methyl-D-glucose). A new model described the kinetics of the two glucose tracers and native glucose with the use of a two-compartment structure for glucose and a one-compartment structure for insulin effects. Insulin sensitivities of distribution/transport, disposal, and EGP were similar (11.5 +/- 3.8 vs. 10.4 +/- 3.9 vs. 11.1 +/- 2.7 x 10(-2) ml small middle dot kg(-1) small middle dot min(-1) per mU/l; P = nonsignificant, ANOVA). When expressed in terms of ability to lower glucose concentration, stimulation of disposal and stimulation of distribution/transport accounted each independently for 25 and 30%, respectively, of the overall effect. Suppression of EGP was more effective (P < 0.01, ANOVA) and accounted for 50% of the overall effect. EGP was suppressed by 70% (52-82%) (95% confidence interval relative to basal) within 60 min of the IVGTT; glucose distribution/transport was least responsive to insulin and was maximally activated by 62% (34-96%) above basal at 80 min compared with maximum 279% (116-565%) activation of glucose disposal at 20 min. The deactivation of glucose distribution/transport was slower than that of glucose disposal and EGP (P < 0.02) with half-times of 207 (84-510), 12 (7-22), and 29 (16-54) min, respectively. The minimal-model insulin sensitivity was tightly correlated with and linearly related to sensitivity of EGP (r = 0.96, P < 0.005) and correlated positively but nonsignificantly with distribution/transport sensitivity (r = 0.73, P = 0.10) and disposal sensitivity (r = 0.55, P = 0.26). We conclude that, in healthy subjects during an IVGTT, the two peripheral insulin effects account jointly for approximately one-half of the overall insulin-stimulated glucose lowering, each effect contributing equally. Suppression of EGP matches the effect in the periphery. 相似文献

There are a number of possible links between airborne pollen and respiratory disease that remain underappreciated by both
the scientific community and health care providers within the Latin American and Caribbean region. A few regional studies
have assimilated some preliminary information on this association, and most recently research on interactions between airborne
pollen and pediatric asthma on the Caribbean island of Trinidad has shown critical areas that require further investigation.
Pollen samples were collected over a 2-year period using a Burkard 7 Day Recording Volumetric Spore Sampler. Corresponding
pediatric asthma data were recorded at a nearby medical hospital. Results indicated that the wet season showed higher pollen
concentrations (82 pollen per cubic meter/day) than the dry season (53 pollen per cubic meter/day), and several pollen taxa
were observed. An association between airborne pollen concentrations and pediatric asthma emergency room visits was suggested
incorporating a threshold and lag period. 相似文献

Purification and characterization of Dolichos lablab lectin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The mannose/glucose-binding Dolichos lablab lectin (designated DLL) has
been purified from seeds of Dolichos lablab (hyacinth bean) to
electrophoretic homogeneity by affinity chromatography on an ovalbumin-
Sepharose 4B column. The purified lectin gave a single symmetric protein
peak with an apparent molecular mass of 67 kDa on gel filtration
chromatography, and five bands ranging from 10 kDa to 22 kDa upon SDS-PAGE.
N-Terminal sequence analysis of these bands revealed subunit heterogeneity
due to posttranslational proteolytic truncation at different sites mostly
at the carboxyl terminus. The carbohydrate binding properties of the
purified lectin were investigated by three different approaches:
hemagglutination inhibition assay, quantitative precipitation inhibition
assay, and ELISA. On the basis of these studies, it is concluded that the
Dolichos lablab lectin has neither an extended carbohydrate combining site,
nor a hydrophobic binding site adjacent to it. The carbohydrate combining
site of DLL appears to most effectively accommodate a nonreducing terminal
alpha-d-mannosyl unit, and to be complementary to the C-3, C-4, and C-6
equatorial hydroxyl groups of alpha-d-mannopyranosyl and
alpha-d-glucopyranosyl residues. DLL strongly precipitates murine IgM but
not IgG, and the recent finding that this lectin interacts specifically
with NIH 3T3 fibroblasts transfected with the Flt3 tyrosine kinase receptor
and preserves human cord blood stem cells and progenitors in a quiescent
state for prolonged periods in culture, make this lectin a valuable tool in
biomedical research.

In our search for new, safer anti-HCMV agents, we discovered that the natural product Arcyriaflavin A (la) was a potent inhibitor of HCMV replication in cell culture. A series of analogues (symmetrical indolocarbazoles) was synthesised to investigate structure activity relationships in this series against a range of herpes viruses (HCMV, VZV, HSV1, and 2). This identified a number of novel, selective and potent inhibitors of HCMV, 12,13-dihydro-2,10-difluoro-5H-indolo[2,3-a]pyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazol e-5,7-(6H)-dione (1d) being the best example (IC50=40 nM, therapeutic index > 1450). Compounds described in this series were generally poor inhibitors of protein kinase C betaII, and no correlation was found between the ability to inhibit HCMV and the enzyme PKC. 相似文献

不同胁迫预处理提高水稻幼苗抗寒性期间蛋白质的变化 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
水稻(Oryza sativa L.)幼苗经盐、热激和冷三种不同胁迫预处理均提高了幼苗的抗寒性。与未预处理苗相比,在处理后、低温伤害后和常温下恢复2d的三个时期,不同胁迫预处理苗的可溶性和热不稳定蛋白含量变化趋势甚为相似,但热稳定蛋白含量变化则各有异同。SDS-PAGE图谱分析显示,不同胁迫预处理提高水稻幼苗抗寒性时,其可溶性蛋白、热稳定和热不稳定蛋白组成变化亦各有异同。除诱导出共有的新多肽外,还各自诱导出特有的新多肽。结果表明,植物对不同胁迫的交叉适应存在一定的共同机理,但亦可看出植物对同一种环境胁迫似乎不是以同一的机理去适应。 相似文献

In order to evaluate the impact of the lesser weever on the ecosystem of the southern North Sea, geographical distribution, density, growth, production and food requirements have been estimated. High densities were found on and around the Brown Ridge, an area with high tidal current velocities, medium grain-size of the sediment and a poor benthic fauna. Growth is restricted to the months of June October. During the winter cessation of growth a considerable loss of weight (about 20%) takes place. Mortality has been estimated by using the average size frequency distribution of all catches made from 1972 to 1984. The resulting convex type of survival curve indicates a high survival rate of the II to IV-group fishes. The production (estimated with Allen's graphical method) of a population of 100 individuals including all age groups (0-VI) amounts to 123.7 g AFDW-year'. In areas with highest densities, consequently, production amounts to 0.018–0.078 g AFDW-m2 -year-1 . With an assumed transfer efficiency of 10% through the year, food requirements amounts to 0.18–0.78 g AFDW-m 2 -year -1 . Since the lesser weever feeds mainly on fish (85.6%), almost exclusively on gobies (Pomatoschistus sp.), and with an assumed transfer efficiency of approximately 10%, the indirect predatory pressure exerted by it may amount to 1.6 6.7g AFDW-m 2 .year -1 . A possible feeding by gobies on pelagic organisms (calanoids, mysids) is discussed. 相似文献

Hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (H6PDH-A2; beta-D-glucose:NAD(P)+
oxido-reductase; E.C. 1.1.1.47) of the teleost Fundulus heteroclitus (L.)
shows clinal allelic variation along the east coast of North America. Three
of the major allelic isozymes have been purified and compared for native
molecular weight, subunit molecular weight, isoelectric point, thermal
stability, and steady-state kinetic properties (pH 8.0 and 25 degrees C).
Significant differences were found among the allelic isozymes for
isoelectric point, thermal stability, and some kinetic parameters. The
predominant allelic isozyme in northern populations (H6PDH-AcAc) was found
to be more sensitive to heat denaturation than were the predominant
homozygous allelic isozymes isolated from southern populations (H6PDH-AaAa
and H6PDH-AbAb). The H6PDH-AcAc allelic isozyme had both a significantly
greater Km for glucose-6-phosphate than did either of the southern
phenotypes and a significantly greater Km for NADP+ and Ki of NAD+ than did
one of the southern phenotypes (H6PDH-AaAa). While the allelic isozymes are
functionally nonequivalent, it is not yet known whether these differences
are reflected at higher levels of biological organization.
