Cclvi. the Relation of Thiol Compounds to Glucose Fermentation. by Juda Hirsch Quastel and Arnold
نویسندگان
چکیده
IN the course of experiments on the toxicity of iodoacetic acid to biological processes, it was found that addition to the acid of sodium thiosulphate or thiol compounds brought about a considerable diminution in the intensity of the toxic effect. This observation led the writers to consider the possibility that thiol compounds may normally play an important part in the processes affected by iodoacetic acid. Experiments were accordingly devised to test this possibility, especially with regard to yeast fermentation. The results which are recorded below showed that both cysteine and glutathione markedly affect the relationship of aerobic fermentation of glucose by baker's yeast to the respiration in presence of glucose. It would seem that glutathione plays some controlling part in determining the relationship between aerobic fermentation and respiration of the cell in presence of glucose.

Xxxviii. Metabolic Studies in Phenylketonuria
F6LLING [1934] discovered that, in certain cases of mental deficiency, phenylpyruvic acid was excreted in the urine. His attention was drawn to the phenomenon by the characteristic colour produced by the addition of ferric chloride solution to the urines of these patients, and he identified the responsible substance as phenylpyruvic acid. Other cases have since been recognized [Penrose, 1935]. ...

IN Part I of this series [Quastel and Whetham, 1925] an account was given of the behaviour of the following groups of substances as hydrogen donators in the presence of resting B. coli. 1. Fatty acids. 2. Saturated dibasic acids. 3. Hydroxy-acids. 4. Polyhydric alcohols. 5. Monohydric alcohols. A table was given of the relative reducing powers or reducing coefficients of the hydrogen donators. ...

Background: Glucose-induced protein glycation has been implicated in the progression of diabetic complications and age-related diseases. The anti-glycation potential of polyphenol-rich plant extracts has been shown previously. Bunium Persicum has been demonstrated to possess a high level of polyphenols. The aim of current in vitro study was to determine the possible inhibitory effect of Bunium ...
متن کاملCxxxviii. Hepatic Oxidation of Choline and Arsenocholine
IT was shown by Mann & Quastel [1937] that choline is oxidized by slices or extracts of rat liver and kidney. The oxidation product was isolated and identified as betaine aldehyde. Some evidence was obtained that betaine aldehyde is also oxidized by the same tissues though at a much slower rate than choline and it was suggested that the oxidation product in this case is betaine. Bernheim & Bern...
