A comparative study of the conformation dynamics of the human alpha-fetoprotein fragment LDSYQCT and heptapeptides derived from it by point substitutions has revealed a significant influence of electrostatic interactions on the set of preferred conformations and dynamics of amino acid residues when the peptides with blocked termini are examined at ? = 1. Peptide flexibility rises when the termini are left free (charged). At ? = 10 or 80, the set of probable conformations for all residues expands to much the same extent, i.e., at higher permittivity of the medium the dynamic effects of amino acid changes are leveled off. 相似文献

Background:
Vascular growth is a prerequisite for adipose tissue (AT) development and expansion. Some AT cytokines and hormones have effects on vascular development, like vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF‐A), angiopoietin (ANG‐1), ANG‐2 and angiopoietin‐like protein‐4 (ANGPTL‐4).Methods:
In this study, the independent and combined effects of diet‐induced weight loss and exercise on AT gene expression and proteins levels of those angiogenic factors were investigated. Seventy‐nine obese males and females were randomized to: 1. Exercise‐only (EXO; 12‐weeks exercise without diet‐restriction), 2. Hypocaloric diet (DIO; 8‐weeks very low energy diet (VLED) + 4‐weeks weight maintenance diet) and 3. Hypocaloric diet and exercise (DEX; 8‐weeks VLED + 4‐weeks weight maintenance diet combined with exercise throughout the 12 weeks). Blood samples and fat biopsies were taken before and after the intervention.Results:
Weight loss was 3.5 kg in the EXO group and 12.3 kg in the DIO and DEX groups. VEGF‐A protein was non‐significantly reduced in the weight loss groups. ANG‐1 protein levels were significantly reduced 22‐25% after all three interventions (P < 0.01). The ANG‐1/ANG‐2 ratio was also decreased in all three groups (P < 0.05) by 27‐38%. ANGPTL‐4 was increased in the EXO group (15%, P < 0.05) and 9% (P < 0.05) in the DIO group. VEGF‐A, ANG‐1, and ANGPTL‐4 were all expressed in human AT, but only ANGPTL‐4 was influenced by the interventions.Conclusions:
Our data show that serum VEGF‐A, ANG‐1, ANG‐2, and ANGPTL‐4 levels are influenced by weight changes, indicating the involvement of these factors in the obese state. Moreover, it was found that weight loss generally was associated with a reduced angiogenic activity in the circulation. 相似文献4.

We have used a systemic approach to establish a relationship between enzyme measures of glial glutamate and energy metabolism
(glutamine synthetase and glutamine synthetase-like protein, glutamate dehydrogenase isoenzymes, brain isoform creatine phosphokinase)
and two major glial proteins (glial fibrillary acidic protein and myelin basic protein) in autopsied brain samples taken from
patients with schizophrenia (SCH) and mentally healthy subjects (23 and 22 cases, respectively). These biochemical parameters
were measured in tissue extracts in three brain areas (prefrontal cortex, caudate nucleus, and cerebellum). Significant differences
in the level of at least one of the glutamate metabolizing enzymes were observed between two studied groups in all studied
brain areas. Different patterns of correlative links between the biochemical parameters were found in healthy and schizophrenic
brains. These findings give a new perspective to our understanding of the impaired regulation of enzyme levels in the brain
in SCH. 相似文献

A comparative study of the conformation dynamics of a series of heptapeptides: the human alpha-fetoprotein fragment LDSYQCT and its seven analogues has been conducted. The effect of the dielectric constant of medium on the dynamics of heptapeptide conformation is considered. It is shown that electrostatic interactions have a marked effect on several accessible conformations and the dynamics of the behavior of amino acid residues. 相似文献

This study was undertaken in order to examine whether any connection existed between the amounts of iron in forage and the
sporadic occurrence of scrapie observed in certain parts of Iceland. As iron and manganese are considered antagonistic in
plants, calculation of the Fe/Mn ratios was also included by using results from Mn determination earlier performed in the
same samples. Forage samples (n = 170) from the summer harvests of 2001–2003, were collected from 47 farms for iron and manganese
analysis. The farms were divided into four categories: 1. Scrapie-free farms in scrapie-free areas (n = 9); 2. Scrapie-free farms in scrapie-afflicted areas (n = 17); 3. Scrapie-prone farms (earlier scrapie-afflicted, restocked farms) (n = 12); 4. Scrapie-afflicted farms (n = 9). Farms in categories 1 and 2 are collectively referred to as scrapie-free farms. The mean iron concentration in forage samples from scrapie-afflicted farms was significantly higher than in forage samples
from farms in the other scrapie categories (P = 0.001). The mean Fe/Mn ratio in forage from scrapie-afflicted farms was significantly
higher than in forage from scrapie-free and scrapie-prone farms (P < 0.001). The results indicated relative dominance of iron
over manganese in forage from scrapie-afflicted farms as compared to farms in the other categories. Thus thorough knowledge
of iron, along with manganese, in soil and vegetation on sheep farms could be a pivot in studies on sporadic scrapie. 相似文献

Scanning electron microscopy and gramicidin patch clamp recordings of microvillous receptor neurons dissociated from the rat vomeronasal organ 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Vomeronasal organs from female rats were dissociated and isolated
microvillous receptor neurons were studied. The isolated receptor neurons
kept the typical bipolar shape which they have in situ as observed by
scanning electron microscopy. We applied the perforated patch-clamp
technique using the cation-selective ionophore gramicidin on freshly
isolated and well differentiated receptor neurons. The mean resting
potential was -58+/-14 mV (n=39). The contribution of the sodium pump
current to the resting potential was demonstrated by lowering the K+
concentration in the bath or by application of 100 microM dihydro-ouabain.
The input resistance was in the range of 1-6 GOmega and depolarizing
current pulses of a few pA were sufficient to trigger overshooting action
potentials. In voltage clamp conditions a fast transient sodium inward
current and a sustained outward potassium current were activated by
membrane depolarization. These observations indicate that freshly isolated
vomeronasal receptor neurons of rats can be recorded, using gramicidin,
with little modification of the intracellular content. Their
electrophysiological properties are very similar to those observed in situ.
Four out of eight female vomeronasal receptor cells were depolarized by
diluted rat male urine.

Amounts of glutamate metabolizing enzymes such as glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), glutamine synthetase (GS), GS-like protein
(GSLP), and phosphate-activated glutaminase (PAG) were compared in prefrontal cortex of control subjects and patients with
Alzheimer disease (AD). The target proteins were quantified by ECL-Western immunoblotting in extracts from brain tissue prepared
by two different techniques separating enzymes preferentially associated with cytoplasm (GDH I and II isoenzymes, GS, and
partially GSLP) and membrane (GDH III, PAG, and partially GSLP) fractions. Amounts of all listed enzymes were found significantly
increased in the patient group compared with controls. Some links between the measured values were observed in the control,
but not in the AD patient group. The results may suggest for the pathological interruption of regulatory relations between
distinct enzymes of glutamate metabolism in brain of AD patients. 相似文献
