Continuous 14C 0 2 Evolution, Glycolytic Compartment, Pyruvate Metabolism, Synchronous, Yeast The different metabolic behaviour of endogenously produced [1-14C] pyruvate derived from [3,4-14C]glucose and of exogenously added [1-14C]pyruvate were studied with synchronous yeast cell populations, under conditions which differentially influenced the activities of pyruvate decarboxylase in the cytop...

Hormonal control of the initial step in hepatic gluconeogenesis from pyruvate was examined following acute administration of epinephrine, glucagon, or cortisol to adult rats. After hormonal treatment of the animals, the mitochondria were isolated for the study of pyruvate metabolism. When pyruvate and bicarbonate were the only substrates provided, mitochondrial fixation of carbon dioxide and pr...

Previous studies have shown that the liver is the first organ to display signs of injury during hemorrhagic shock. We examined the mechanism by which pyruvate can prevent liver damage during hemorrhagic shock in swine anesthetized with halothane. Thirty minutes after the induction of a 240-min controlled arterial hemorrhage targeted at 40 mmHg, hypertonic sodium pyruvate (0.5 g. kg(-1). h(-1)) ...

stable crystalline phosphorus ylides are obtained in excellent yields from the 1:1:1 addition reactionbetween hydantoins or thiohydantoins and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in the presence oftriphenylphosphine. these phosphoranes undergo smooth intramolecular wittig reaction followedby an electrocyclic ring opening to produce dialkyl (e)-2-(2,5-dihydro-5,5-diaryl-2-thioxo-1h-imidazol-4-yl)fum...

nanocomposites based on vinyl ester resin (derakane 470-300) and nano clay (cloisite 30b) were prepared. the effect of clay content of 1, 3 and 5% (by weight) on the morphology, mechanical properties and water absorption of vinyl ester resin nanocomposites were studied. the nanocomposites were characterized  using  small-angle x-ray  scattering  (saxs),  feld  emission  scanning electron micros...

Peroxyoxalate system includes an oxalate ester, peroxide and a fluorescer, The energy resulted from the reaction of oxalate ester and peroxide is transferred to fluorescer and cause it to fluorsc. The effect of reactants chemical structure, their concentration, solvent media (polarity and viscosity) and the temperature, on the intensity of the illuminated light with respect to time have bee...

Exposure of L929 cells to hyperthermia in the presence of 2-cyanocinnamic acid, an inhibitor of mitochondrial pyruvate transport, markedly enhanced killing at temperatures as low as 41 degrees C. The inhibitor also reduced the oxidation of both glucose and exogenous pyruvate while increasing lactate production from glucose but not from pyruvate. These results are consistent with previous observ...
