Naturally Occurring Endogenous Major and Minor Tranquilizers

چکیده
Depending upon whom you heed and what you read, benzodiazepines are either the safest and most useful anxiety relieving drugs so far discovered, or among the more potentially harmful addictive substances. According to their detractors (Lader, 1978; Marks, 1978) benzodiazepines have become increasingly popular because of medical indiscretions and over vigorous advertising. Drugs are neither inherently harmful or helpful; it all depends on how they are used. Some drugs like the major tranquilizers have distressing, even dangerous, side effects; others such as the benzodiazepines lend themselves to misuse by habituation, while others like the water soluble vitamins have very few dangerous properties and no history of abuse. When Dr. Joseph Tobin, M.D., then the Director of the New Jersey Bureau of Research in Neurology and Psychiatry, told us about his clinical studies with diazepam in the late 1950% he described a substance helpful to patients suffering from excessive

متن کاملH2S: an Endogenous Gas
Gases such as NO and CO play important roles both in normal physiology and in disease. In recent years, interest has been directed towards other naturally occurring gases, notably H 2 S, which is produced in body by three enzymes namely CBS (cystathionine beta synthase), CSE (cystathionine gamma lyase) and MST (3-Mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase), present in mitochondria and/or cytosols where...
متن کاملBacterial Expression and Functional Characterization of A Naturally Occurring Exon6-less Preprochymosin cDNA
Chymosin (Rennin EC 3.4.23.4), an aspartyl proteinase, is the major proteolytic enzyme in the fourthstomach of the unweaned calf, and it is formed by proteolytic activation of its zymogene, prochymosin.Following the cloning of synthesized cDNAs on mRNA pools extracted from the mucosa of the calf fourthstomach, we have identified an alternatively spliced form of preprochymosin ...
متن کاملNaturally Occurring Major and Minor Capsid Protein Variants of Human Papillomavirus 45 (HPV45): Differential Recognition by Cross-Neutralizing Antibodies Generated by HPV Vaccines.
We investigated naturally occurring variation within the major (L1) and minor (L2) capsid proteins of human papillomavirus genotype 45 (HPV45). Pseudoviruses (PsVs) representing HPV45 sublineages A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2 exhibited comparable particle-to-infectivity ratios and morphologies but demonstrated both increased (A2, A3, and B1) and decreased (B2) sensitivities to cross-neutralization by ...
