Administration of pyrogenal into rabbits caused a decrease in the activity of phosphorylase A and pyruvate kinase in musculus gastrocnemius as well as pyruvate kinase -- in musculus soleus. The phosphorylase A activity was increased within 3 hrs after the drug administration but it was decreased
Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis is an autosomal recessive hereditary disorder characterized by recurrent episodic fever, anhidrosis (inability to sweat), absence of reaction to noxious stimuli, self-mutilating behavior, and mental retardation. The human TRKA gene (NTRK1), located on
A case of congenital hemolytic anemia caused by pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency variant designated PK 'Nichinan' is presented. A 29-old patient with a history of anemia and hepatosplenomegaly had an episode of aplastic crisis associated with fever, abdominal symptoms and worsening
On incubation with the spin trap alpha-(4-pyridyl-l-oxide)-N-tert-butylnitrone (4-POBN), a characteristic electron spin resonance (ESR) signal was produced at a greater rate in hepatic microsomal fractions from malignant hyprthermia susceptible (MHS) pigs compared with resistant (MHR) pigs. This was
Salicylic acid (SA) is the major metabolite and active ingredient of aspirin; both compounds reduce pain, fever, and inflammation. Despite over a century of research, aspirin/SA's mechanism(s) of action is still only partially understood. Here we report the results of a genome-wide, high-throughput
Case reports are presented on 4 outpatients with hereditary disorders of metabolism. 1. In a 46-year-old male of Sicilian origin with haemolytic anaemia and leg ulcers, the blood contained numerous target cells, the sickling test was positive, and more than 80% of the haemoglobin was found to be
In myopathic disorders, abnormal serum enzyme activities are seen primarily in diseases of skeletal muscle where the condition involves the muscle fibers themselves. In denervation myopathies, serum enzyme activities are usually normal. The most dramatic increases of serum enzymes, particularly
In 1958 Zieve described a syndrome of jaundice, hyperlipidaemia, and transient haemolytic anaemia associated with alcohol abuse. The clinical and laboratory features of five cases are reviewed. All patients presented with acute abdominal pain and fever. Four had a history of a recent alcohol binge.
Bacterial insecticidal proteins, such as the Bin toxin from Lysinibacillus sphaericus, could be used more extensively to control insecticide resistant mosquitoes. This study was aimed at identification of mosquito cell proteins binding Bin toxin. Results showed that purified toxin was toxic to
Cattle trypanosomosis caused by Trypanosoma vivax is a widely distributed disease in Africa and Latin America. It causes significant losses in the livestock industry and is characterized by fluctuating parasitemia, anemia, fever, lethargy, and weight loss. In this study we evaluated the
The mosquito Aedes aegypti is vector of several viruses including yellow fever virus, dengue virus chikungunya virus and Zika virus. One of the major problems involving these diseases transmission is that A. aegypti embryos are resistant to desiccation at the end of embryogenesis, surviving and
1- Oncogenes express proteins of "Tyrosine kinase receptor pathways", a receptor family including insulin or IGF-Growth Hormone receptors. Other oncogenes alter the PP2A phosphatase brake over these kinases. 2- Experiments on pancreatectomized animals; treated with pure insulin or total pancreatic
Natural products are compounds that are isolated from plants, provide a variety of lead structures for the development of new drugs by the pharmaceutical industry. The interest in these substances increases because of their beneficial effects on human health, which include antiviral, antiallergic,
