A comparison of the influence of 2,4-dinitrophenol on the oxygen consumption of rat brain slices and homogenates.
It is well established that the oxygen consumption of various types of intact cells is augmented when low concentrations of 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) or certain ot!her substituted phenols are added to the medium in which the cells are suspended. Slightly higher concentrations depress oxygen consumption. This has been shown for yeast (l-6), luminous bacteria (7), various marine eggs (S-14), orthop...
متن کاملThe metabolism of prednisolone by homogenates of rat liver.
The metabolism of the naturally occurring corticosteroids has been investigated extensively in systems both in vivo and in vitro (1, 2). In contrast, little information is available concerning the metabolic pathways of the 1-dehydrocorticosteroids. It has been demonstrated that in men the major metabolic reactions of prednisolone and prednisone involve reduction-oxidation reactions at C-11 and ...
متن کاملEnzymic Decarboxylation of Oxalate by Extracts of Plant Tissue.
Oxalic acid is widely distributed in plants. Although its concentration is not normally high, certain plants such as Oxalis sp., Begonia sp., rhubarb, and spinach contain large amounts of the acid. Cotyledons of spinach, for example, have been reported to contain up to 26% dry weight of oxalic acid (4). The only enzyme system previously reported to metabolize oxalate in plants is oxalate oxidas...
متن کاملThe enzymic reduction of nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide by 2-mercaptoethanol.
1. The reduction of NAD(+), by an enzyme preparation from rat liver, in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol is reported. 2. It is suggested that the NAD(+)-linked alcohol dehydrogenase in the extract transfers hydrogen from 2-mercaptoethanol to NAD(+). 3. Both yeast and horse-liver alcohol dehydrogenases were observed to reduce NAD(+) in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol. 4. Some interactions of ...
متن کاملConjugation of phenol by rat liver slices and homogenates.
Numerous contributions have been made to our knowledge of the process of conjugation of phenol in vivo (2, 3). The studies in vitro are related to the formation of either phenyl sulfate (4-6) or glucuronide (7-11). Because of the great difference in behavior towards hydrolysis of the sulfate and the glucuronide (12), the formation of phenyl sulfate and phenyl glucuronide can be followed simulta...
