When Cd (3.58 mg CdCl2 . H2O/kg, ip) was administered to male guinea pigs 72 h prior to sacrifice, the metal significantly inhibited the aniline 4-hydroxylase (AH) (16%), ethylmorphone N-demethylase (EMND) (26%), and aminopyrine N-demethylase (AMND) (18%) activities and cytochrome P-450 (12%) and cytochrome b5 (10%) levels. Cd did not alter the hepatic microsomal heme level. Cd, however, significantly increased the hepatic microsomal p-nitroanisole O-demethylase (p-NAOD) (53%) activity. When Ni (59.5 mg NiCl2 . 6H2O/kg, sc) was administered to the guinea pigs 16 h prior to sacrifice, the metal significantly depressed AH (49%), p-NAOD (66%), EMND (47%), and AMND (37%) activities, and cytochrome P-450 (15%), cytochrome b5 (24%), and microsomal heme (28%) levels. For the combined treatment, animals received the single dose of Ni 56 h after the single dose of Cd and then were killed 16 h later. In these animals, significant inhibitions were noted in AH (51%), EMND (47%), and AMND (30%) activities, and cytochrome P-450 (15%), cytochrome b5 (26%), and microsomal heme (30%) compared to those of controls. In the case of p-NAOD activity, the influence was in favor of Ni, i.e., the inhibition was about 61% by the combined treatment. These results reveal that: 1. The response of all substrates of hepatic monooxygenases to Cd are not the same, possibly indicating differential regulation of cytochrome P-450 isozymes by Cd; 2. The inhibitory effect of Ni on hepatic monooxygenases is more profound than that of Cd; and 3. The combination of Cd and Ni does not have a synergistic effect of hepatic monooxygenases of the guinea pig.

Boron-doped Biphasic Hydroxyapatite/beta-Tricalcium Phosphate for Bone Tissue Engineering Pazarçeviren, Ahmet Engin; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Keskin, Dilek; Evis, Zafer (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-06-10) Boron-doped hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphates (BHTs) were synthesized to study boron uptake and correlate structural alterations of incremental boron addition (0 to 10 mol%). BHTs with a Ca/P ratio of 1.6 were prepared by a wet precipitation/microwave reflux method, sieved (< 70 mu m) and characterized. XRD and FTIR analyses revealed that boron slightly distorted apatite crystal, increased crystallinity (95.78 +/- 2.08% for 5BHT) and crystallite size (103.39 +/- 23.47 nm for 5BHT) and still, boron additi...
The positional effect of dodecagonal holes on C-56 structure Türker, Burhan Lemi (Elsevier BV, 2004-05-14) Some C-56 isomers obtained theoretically from C-60 structure by deleting two C-2 units and bonds adjacent to those have been subjected to AM1 (UHF) type semiempirical quantum chemical calculations. Positional effects of dodecagonal (cyclododecahexaene rings) holes on the stabilities are discussed in the case of neutral as well as monovalent cationic form of these species which are all stable but endothermic in nature.
Cross-Linking of a DOPA-Containing Peptide Ligand into its G Protein-Coupled Receptor Umanah, George E.; Son, Çağdaş Devrim; Ding, FaXiang; Naider, Fred; Becker, Jeffrey M. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2009-04-01) The interaction between a 3,4-dihydroxylphenylalanine (DOPA) labeled analog of the tridecapeptide α-factor (W-H-W-L-Q-L-K-P-G-Q-P-M-Y) and Ste2p, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae model G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), has been analyzed by periodate-mediated cross-linking. Chemically synthesized α-factor with DOPA substituting for tyrosine at position 13 and biotin tagged onto lysine7 ([Lys7 (BioACA),-Nle12,DOPA13]α-factor; Bio-DOPA-α-factor) was used for crosslinking into Ste2p. The biological activity of Bio-D...
Antioxidant enzyme activities in rat liver tissues of diabetic rats Sadi, Gökhan; Güray, Tülin; Department of Biochemistry (2004) Free radicals are the compounds having one or more unpaired electrons in their outer orbital and this unpaired electron make these compounds very reactive. Especially as their concentration increases, they initiate a chain oxidation reaction of lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. The condition, in which the production of free radicals exceeds their elimination or tissue defense mechanism decrease against them or both occur together, is called oxidative stress. In diabetes mellitus which is a glucose metabol...
The reaction of alkenes with AgNO2/TMSCl: The synthesis of 1,2,5-oxadiazole-2-oxides (Furoxans) via nitroso nitrates Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Findik, H (Bentham Science Publishers Ltd., 2005-11-01) The reaction of AgNO2/TMSCl with olefins affords nitrosonitrate, which arc converted into (alpha-nitroximes in good yield. Both nitrosonitrate and nitroximes are converted with acids into furoxane in high yield. The reaction of AgNO2 with TMSCl furnished first N2O3 and hexamethylsiloxane. The nitroso nitrates are obtained by addition of N2O3 to the olefines.
