Serine metabolism in rat liver slices.
While much is known of the various pathways of serine metabolism, there is little quantitative information concerning the relative importance of each. The present study has, therefore, been undertaken to examine the over-all pattern of serine metabolism in surviving rat liver slices. It seems likely that serine is in the major pathway for both the synthesis of glycine and “l-carbon” compounds f...
متن کاملD-serine is the dominant endogenous coagonist for NMDA receptor neurotoxicity in organotypic hippocampal slices.
D-serine occurs at high levels in the brain, where it is an endogenous coagonist at the "glycine site" of NMDA receptors. However, D-serine action has not been previously compared with that of endogenous glycine, and the relative importance of the two coagonists remains unclear. We now investigated the efficiencies of the two coagonists in mediating NMDA receptor neurotoxicity in organotypic hi...
متن کاملD-serine content and D-[3H]serine binding in the brain regions of the senescence-accelerated mouse.
An established senescence-accelerated model mouse strain, SAMP8, shows the deterioration of learning and memory compared with a normal control strain, SAMR1. D-Serine binds to strychnine-insensitive glycine binding sites of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor complex, and enhances glutamate binding to the receptor complex. To investigate the relationship of endogenous brain D-serine and th...
متن کاملColchicine Binding in Tissue Slices
INTRODUCTION vitro . Under appropriate conditions changes in colchicine binding should reflect changes in the microtubule-subunit equilibrium . The effects of both cAMP and calcium on colchicine binding were examined. Calcium was included in this study, for two reasons . First, it is necessary for some of the functions that have been linked with microtubules, and second, cAMP is known to alter ...
متن کامل3-D Mouse Brain Model Reconstruction from a Sequence of 2-D Slices in Application to Allen Brain Atlas
The paper describes a method of fully automatic 3D-reconstruction of a mouse brain from a sequence of histological coronal 2D slices. The model is constructed via non-linear transformations between the neighboring slices and further morphing. We also use rigid-body transforms in the preprocessing stage to align the slices. Afterwards, the obtained 3D-model is used to generate virtual 2D-images ...
