acer/hypoxia

Endogenous concentrations of hexosemonophosphates and ATP decline sharply and rapidly in intact cells of Acer pseudoplatanus subjected to anoxia, whereas fructose-1,6-diphosphate and pyruvate accumulate markedly. In view of gas exchange data indicating an apparent acceleration of glycolysis under

Two horses with red maple (Acer rubrum) toxicity responded to treatment with high doses of vitamin C (ascorbic acid), in addition to blood transfusions, and intravenous fluid therapy. The clinical course included Heinz body anemia, marked methemoglobinemia, depression, and evidence of severe tissue

Movement of paramagnetic Mn2+ into sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) cells has been indirectly examined by observing the line broadening exhibited in its 31P n.m.r. spectra. Mn2+ was observed to pass into the vacuole, while exhibiting a very minor accumulation in the cytoplasm. With time, gradual

Tracer gas studies and oxygen uptake measurements have shown that pressurized gas transport improves oxygen supply to roots in the wetland tree species Taxodium distichum L. Rich. (Taxodiaceae), Betula pubescens J.F. Ehrh. (Betulaceae), and Populus tremula L. (Salicaceae), but not in Acer

Cardiovascular diseases are predicted to be the most common cause of death worldwide by 2020. Here we show that angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ace2) maps to a defined quantitative trait locus (QTL) on the X chromosome in three different rat models of hypertension. In all hypertensive rat strains,

Anaerobic fermentation in plants is usually thought to be a transient phenomenon, brought about by environmental limitations to oxygen availability, or by structural constraints to oxygen transport. The vascular cambium of trees is separated from the air by the outer bark and secondary phloem, and

We tested the contribution of nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) hydrolysis, ethanol, and organic acid syntheses, and H(+)-pump ATPases activity in the acidosis of anoxic sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) plant cells. Culture cells were chosen to alter NTP pools and fermentation with specific nutrient media
