Creator:: Weitz, Stephen L.
Abstract:: Investigators have been studying an aggregate containing enzymes of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate biosynthesis in T4-phage infected bacteria. They suggest that it behaves as an organized complex, efficiently channeling DNA precursors to the replication apparatus. Previous work has suggested that about 10 enzyme activities remain associated through several fractionation steps. This multi-enzyme...

Abstract:: Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of ischemic heart disease and stroke and is the leading cause of death worldwide, especially in developed countries. As an inflammatory disease of arteries in a hyperlipidemic milieu, expression of adhesion molecules, such as endothelial-leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (E-selectin) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), on endothelial...

Abstract:: Over the past century, life expectancy in the United States has dramatically increased leading to an increasingly aging population with people reaching, and spending more years in ‘old age’. While this unprecedented shift in population demographics represents great strides for humanity, it is not without cost. One consequence of longer...

Creator:: Dzogbefia, Victoria Pearl
Abstract:: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been reported to cause alterations in the metabolism of phospholipids and glycerides in animals and humans. This project was undertaken in an attempt to determine the mode of action of PCBs and their primary metabolites on phospholipid and glyceride biosynthesis. The activity of sn-glycerol-3 phosphate acyltransferase...

Creator:: Hucko-Haas, Jacqueline Elizabeth
Abstract:: Several aspects of the potent inhibition of bovine plasma amine oxidase (PAO) by hydrazines were investigated by kinetic and preparative means. The inhibition was classified as pseudo-irreversible by the method of Ackerman and Potter (Proc. Soc. Exptl. Biol. Med. 72, 1 (1949), and was found to exhibit Zone B kinetic...

Creator:: Smith, Eric Jonathan
Abstract:: Nuclear Factor, Erythroid Derived 2, Like 2 (NFE2L2 or Nrf2) is the primary transcription factor in cellular defense against oxidative and xenobiotic stresses in higher eukaryotes. This basic leucine zipper transcription factor regulates over 200 antioxidant, detoxification, and lipid metabolizing genes by binding to the Antioxidant Response Element (ARE; a...

Creator:: Ramsdell, Howard Scott
Abstract:: Senecio jacobaea (tansy ragwort) is a common weed in the Pacific Northwest that contains toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs). Jacobine, the major PA in Senecio jacobaea, was incubated with rat liver microsomes and metabolites were isolated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and identified by mass spectrometric analysis. Metabolites included a...
