Background Prediction of breeding values (BV) using only genotypic information is the final goal of Genomic Selection (GS) [1]. Commonly, BV prediction from traditional BLUP analysis is the input for constructing GS prediction models, and GS predicted BVs are correlated with traditional BLUP BVs to estimate the accuracy of GS models. The use of GS in plant breeding depends on the accuracy of th...

introduction: ultra low dose (uld) morphine induces hyperalgesia which is mediated by excitatory gscoupled opioid receptors. this study was designed to investigate the development of tolerance to hyperalgesic effect of morphine. also we attempt to seek possible similarity, in view of gs proteins, between hyperalgesic effect of uld and hyperalgesic effect after tolerance to hd. method: male wist...

Here, we report the identification of dimethylarsinothioyl glutathione (DMMTA(V)(GS)) as a metabolite in cellular extracts of dimethyarsinous glutathione (Darinaparsin, DMA(III)(GS)) treated human multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines. Co-elution of sulfur and arsenic on the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) indicated the presence of sulfur along with arsenic in the newly observe...

The GTPase activity of the stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein (Gs) of hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase was investigated using purified rabbit hepatic Gs and either [alpha-32P]- or [gamma-32P] GTP as substrate. The binding of [35S]guanosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) was used to quantitate the total concentration of Gs. 1) GTPase activity was a saturable func...

Type 2 diabetes is characterized by reduced muscle glycogen synthesis. The key enzyme in this process, glycogen synthase (GS), is activated via proximal insulin signaling, but the exact molecular events remain unknown. Previously, we demonstrated that phosphorylation of Thr³⁰⁸ on Akt (p-Akt-Thr³⁰⁸), Akt2 activity, and GS activity in muscle were positively associated with insulin sensitivity. He...
