Evidence that acyl coenzyme A synthetase activity is required for repression of yeast acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase by exogenous fatty acids.
The cellular content of acetyl-CoA carboxylase [acetyl-CoA:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming), EC 6.4.1.2] in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is reduced by the addition of long-chain fatty acids to the culture medium. Mutant strains of S. cerevisiae defective in acyl-CoA synthetase [acid:CoA ligase (AMP-forming), EC 6.2.1.3]...

Glutathione and gamma-glutamyl cycle enzymes in crypt and villus tip cells of rat jejunal mucosa.
Villus tip cells and crypt cells of rat jejunal mucosa were separated by the planning procedure of Imondi et al. and were studied with respect to their activities of the enzymes of the gamma-glutamyl cycle and glutathione content. The villus tip cells exhibit much higher gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase activities than do...

Effects in the rat of intradermal injection of purified proteinases from streptococcus and Serratia marcescens.
Purified streptococcal proteinase and Serratia proteinase are potent permeability factors in rat skin and initiate histopathological evidence of an acute inflammatory response. These effects appear to be largely independent of terminal components of complement, histamine, and polymorphonuclear leukocytes.

[An experimental study of the spectrum of individual psychotropic activity of clozapine (Leponex)].
An experimental analysis of the psychotropic activity of Leponex (in a chronic experiment on II cats) in conditions of a group interaction depicted that the preparation processes a definite tranquillizing and antipsychotic effect. In conditions of zoosocial interactions this drug promotes disappearance of neurotic reac...

Affinity elution of pyruvate kinase from phosphocellulose.
Pyruvate kinase from ascites tumour cells can be eluted from phosphocellulose by very low concentrations of phosphoenolpyruvate, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, adenosine 5'-diphosphate and pyrophosphate, respectively. The appropriate limiting conditions for "facilitated desorption" of the enzyme from phosphocellulose by th...

[Studies of in vitro cultivated cells from the smooth muscle organs. 3. Effectiveness of some drugs on pulsation frequency of isolated smooth muscle cells of the chicken amnion].
The effects of some drugs on the beating frequency of isolated cells of the chick amnion cultivated on cover slips were investigated. Cholinergic and adrenergic agonists and antagonists, serotonine, antispasmodics, coronary dilatants and local anesthetics influenced the beating frequency significantly. The isolated chi...

[Modification of the adjuvans arthritis by carrageenin, compound 48/80, histamine- and serotonin antagonists, non-steroid antiphlogistics as well as protease inhibitors and their possible relations to inflammation mediators].
1. Injections of carrageenin (1,25 mg/kg i.v.) from the 1st to the 3rd day and then each 2nd or 3rd day inhibited paw swelling in adjuvant arthritis of the rat during the time of treatment. Injections from the 11th to the 15th day were ineffective. The level of plasma kininogen was slightly decreased but the total comp...

Properties of plasma membranes from granulation tissue with reference to extracellular matrix.
Treatment with neuraminidase decreased the activity of Na+,K+-activated Mg2+-adenosine triphosphatase in plasma membranes isolated from experimental granulation tissue but not that of 5'-nucleotidase or leucine-beta-naphthylamidase. A temporary lowering of the pH of the plasma membrane suspension to 2-3 inactivated all...

Serum gastrin concentration before and after parietal cell vagotomy in man and dog.
Serum gastrin concentrations were measured during fasting and after feeding in duodenal ulcer patients and in dogs before and after parietal cell vagotomy (PCV). Postoperatively, fasting serum gastrin concentrations increased significantly in man and insignificantly higher in dog. After feeding, serum gastrin reached h...

In a double-blind trial lasting 2 weeks, a new, long-acting antihistamine, Mequitazine, and a placebo, were compared. 115 allergic patients participated in this experiment (mequitazine n = 56, placebo n = 59). Therapeutic results and the effect on diurnal alertness were evaluated by means of a questionnaire filled in d...

Beclomethasone dipropionate aerosol treatment of hay fever. A dose-response investigation.
In a controlled, double-blind study 20 children and adults, suffering from summer hay fever, were treated intranasally with a daily dose of 200 mug, 300 mug or 400 mug beclomethasone dipropionate (Beconase, Becotide Nasal) or with placebo for 2 weeks during the hay fever season. No beneficial effect of the placebo trea...

Influence of changes in arterial PCO2 on cerebral blood flow and cerebral energy state during hypothermia in the rat.
In order to study the relationship between arterial PCO2 and cerebral blood flow (CBF) in hypothermia, the body temperature of artifically ventilated rats was decreased to 22 degreesC, and changes in CBF were evaluated from arteriovenous differences in oxygen content (AVDO2) at PaCO2 values of 15, 30, 40 and 60 mm Hg. ...

Response of the hypothalamic neurosecretory system of the female catfish, Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch), to hypophysectomy.
The effect of hypophysectomy on the hypothalamic neurosecretory system of the catfish, H. fossilis, was studied. Hypophysectomy resulted initially in an accumulation of NSM at the distal ends of the cut axons. The axons had grown and were reorganized into a neurohypophysis-like structure 3 weeks after hypophysectomy, a...
