Elements present in Animal Tissues

Phosphorus Compounds in Animal Tissues

The concept that nucleic acids are intimately associated with fundamental cellular processes has gained considerable favor within the last few years. This can undoubtedly be attributed to the researches of Caspersson and his associates. Caspersson, with the aid of ultraviolet spectrophotometry, has been able to measure the nucleic acids in various parts of the cell under a variety of experiment...

Deoxyribosyl compounds in animal tissues.

Several types of deoxyribosyl compounds have been found in the acidsoluble fraction of normal and malignant tissues (l-8). In 1955 Potter and Schlesinger (1) reported the isolation of deoxynucleoside mono-, di-, and triphosphates from extracts of calf thymus. More recently LePage (7) reported the isolation of deoxyadenosine triphosphate from a tumor. Schneider (2), using a microbiological assay...

Formate Metabolism by Animal Tissues*?

Many studies on the metabolism of formic acid by a variety of animal tissues have shown that an appreciable portion of this substrate is oxidized to carbon dioxide (6-13). Since the initial observation of Battelli (6) and Battelli and Stern (7) on the oxidation in vitro of formate, various uncorrelated attempts have been made to identify the responsible enzymes to explain the mechanism of this ...

Detection of Anthocyanins/Anthocyanidins in Animal Tissues

Dietary polyphenols may contribute to the prevention of several degenerative diseases, including cancer. Anthocyanins have been shown to possess potential anticancer activity. The aim of this study was to determine anthocyanin bioavailability in lung tissue of mice fed a blueberry diet (5% w/w) for 10 days or a bolus dose (10 mg/mouse; po) of a native mixture of bilberry anthocyanidins. All fiv...
