Compartmentation of glutamate metabolism in brain. Evidence for the existence of two different tricarboxylic acid cycles in brain 总被引:18,自引:9,他引:9 下载免费PDF全文
1. (14)C from [1-(14)C]glucose injected intraperitoneally into mice is incorporated into glutamate, aspartate and glutamine in the brain to a much greater extent than (14)C from [2-(14)C]glucose. This difference for [1-(14)C]glucose and [2-(14)C]glucose increases with time. The amount of (14)C in C-1 of glutamate increases steadily with time with both precursors. It is suggested that a large part of the glutamate and aspartate pools in brain are in close contact with intermediates of a fast-turning tricarboxylic acid cycle. 2. (14)C from [1-(14)C]acetate and [2-(14)C]acetate is incorporated to a much larger extent into glutamine than into glutamate. An examination of the time-course of (14)C incorporated into glutamine and glutamate reveals that glutamine is not formed from the glutamate pool, labelled extensively by glucose, but from a small glutamate pool. This small glutamate pool is not derived from an intermediate of a fast-turning tricarboxylic acid cycle. 3. It is proposed that two different tricarboxylic acid cycles exist in brain. 相似文献

Maternal and neonatal disposition of pethidine in childbirth--a study using quantitative gas chromatography-mass spectrometry 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
J Caldwell L A Wakile L J Notarianni R L Smith G J Correy B A Lieberman R W Beard M D Finnie W Snedden 《Life sciences》1978,22(7):589-596
An assay for pethidine using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with single ion monitoring has been developed for its analysis in the blood of neonates whose mothers received pethidine during childbirth. Concentrations were determined from the height of the peak at m/e 218 derived from pethidine compared with that at m/e 234 derived from the internal standard lignocaine. Results from 10 mothers and their babies show the time-related passage of pethidine across the placenta. The elimination half-life of the drug from neonatal blood was 22.7h compared with 3h in the adult. 相似文献

Seminal plasma reduces exogenous oxidative damage to human sperm, determined by the measurement of DNA strand breaks and lipid peroxidation 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Exposure of spermatozoa to reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been associated with cellular injury, that includes DNA damage and lipid peroxidation. In addition, sperm preparation techniques such as centrifugation, commonly used prior to in vitro fertilization and scientific studies, are associated with the generation of ROS and an increase in the level of DNA damage. The preservation, therefore, of sperm in vitro that might decrease the potential for oxidative DNA damage to arise and allow for an improvement in semen quality used for artificial insemination, is of importance. Seminal plasma is a rich source of antioxidants, which, potentially, safeguards sperm from oxidative attack during storage and once ejaculated. We have investigated the protection of human spermatozoa from ROS afforded by seminal plasma. Sperm were exposed to exogenous ROS by incubating the cells with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of ferrous sulfate and ADP. Aliquots of seminal plasma were added to the incubation mixture in differing amounts, and the generation of DNA strand breaks and thiobarbituric acid reactive species (TBARS), indicative of lipid peroxidation, determined. Incubation of sperm with exogenous ROS resulted in a significant generation of DNA strand breaks and lipid peroxidation compared to basal levels of damage (P<0.05). Addition of seminal plasma to the incubation media produced a significant decrease in DNA strand breaks and TBARS (P<0. 05), when the amount of plasma added exceeded 60% v/v. The results indicate that spermatozoal oxidative damage induced by exogenous ROS, specifically DNA damage and lipid peroxidation, is reduced by the presence of seminal plasma. 相似文献

Background
Elucidation of the communal behavior of microbes in mixed species biofilms may have a major impact on understanding infectious diseases and for the therapeutics. Although, the structure and the properties of monospecies biofilms and their role in disease have been extensively studied during the last decade, the interactions within mixed biofilms consisting of bacteria and fungi such as Candida spp. have not been illustrated in depth. Hence, the aim of this study was to evaluate the interspecies interactions of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and six different species of Candida comprising C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. krusei, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis, and C. dubliniensis in dual species biofilm development. 相似文献8.
