Of the various synthetic biodegradable polymers, polylactide, poly(butylene succinate), and poly(hydroxyalkanoate) have been widely studied developed. This review focuses on studies of chain end modification these polymers. The selected research was categorized into initiators, modification, including extending, degradation reaction. We cover recent literature this topic, discuss developing tre...

INTRODUCTION: Endogenous succinate functions as a pro-inflammatory factor, while exogenous — an anti-inflammatory factor. The mechanisms of effect succinates on the inflammatory response are not fully understood. OBJECTIVE: Generalization current scientific knowledge use in inhibition response. MATERIALS AND METHODS: PubMed, Web Science, Google Scholar, Scopus, and eLibrary international databa...

Saccharomyces lactis grown on glucose adapted very slowly to growth on succinate. This initial inability of glucose-grown cells to grow on succinate was paralleled by their inability to oxidize succinate. The possibility that repression by glucose of respiratory chain components was responsible for these observations was examined. Glucose-grown cells were able to respire glucose, ethyl alcohol,...

Serum succinate may offer an alternate analyte to lactate for the evaluation of hypoxia. To evaluate the potential uses of succinate, a relatively rapid capillary zone electrophoresis assay was developed for use in the clinical laboratory setting. Employing a simple indirect ultraviolet detection method with commercially available instrumentation, the limit of detection for serum succinate was ...

Succinate dehydrogenase (or Electron Transport Chain Complex II) has been the subject of a focused but significant renaissance. This complex, which has been the least studied of the mitochondrial respiratory complexes has seen renewed interest due to the discovery of its role in human disease. Under this heightened scrutiny, the succinate dehydrogenase complex has proven to be a fascinating mac...

Effect of insulin on the oxidation of carbons-1,4 and -2,3 of succinate and their incorporation into protein were studied in isolated rat hepatocytes and diaphragm muscle pieces. Oxidation of carbons-2,3 of succinate and their incorporation into hepatocyte protein were stimulated significantly by insulin. Insulin had only a trivial effect on 14CO2 formation from the carboxyl carbons of succinat...

Escherichia coli strains HL2765 and HL27659k harboring pRU600 and pKK313 were examined for succinate production under aerobic conditions using galactose, sucrose, raffinose, stachyose, and mixtures of these sugars extracted from soybean meal and soy solubles. HL2765(pKK313)(pRU600) and HL27659k(pKK313)(pRU600) consumed 87mM and 98mM hexose of soybean meal extract and produced 83mM and 95mM succ...

Succinate was the major organic acid detected in the hindgut content of pigs suffering from antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Antibiotic-associated diarrhea was induced by an oral dose of polymyxin B sulfate (3,000,000 units/day) or an intramuscular injection of enrofloxacin (0.6 g enrofloxacin/day). In the large intestine of enrofloxacin-treated pigs, Gram-negative facultative anaerobic rods phy...

BACKGROUND Succinate is a kind of industrially important C4 platform chemical for synthesis of high value added products. Due to the economical and environmental advantages, considerable efforts on metabolic engineering and synthetic biology have been invested for bio-based production of succinate. Precursor phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) is consumed for transport and phosphorylation of glucose, and...
