Two-dimensional analyses of sprint kinetics are commonly undertaken but often ignore the metatarsalphalangeal (MTP) joint and model the foot as a single segment. Due to the linked-segment nature of inverse dynamics analyses, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ignoring the MTP joint on the calculated joint kinetics at the other stance leg joints during sprinting. High-speed v...

Many breast tumors are hormone dependent, and there is evidence that hydrolysis of estrone sulfate (E1S) to estrone, by estrone sulfatase, is an important source of the estrogen which is found in tumors. In this study, we have developed a novel pathway for the synthesis of estrone-3-methylthiophosphonate (E1-3-MTP) and examined its ability to inhibit estrone sulfatase activity in MCF-7 breast c...

The microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP), the product of the MTTP gene, is essential for the assembly and secretion of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins, but when defective causes abetalipoproteinemia. Abetalipoproteinemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the inability to produce chylomicrons or very low-density lipoproteins, with the absence of apolipopr...

A deficiency in microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) causes the human lipoprotein deficiency syndrome abetalipoproteinemia. However, the role of MTP in the assembly and secretion of VLDL in the liver is not precisely understood. It is not clear, for instance, whether MTP is required to move the bulk of triglycerides into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) during the assembly ...

In this work, prepared new ligand[3- (1H-indol-3-yl) -2- (3-(4-methoxybenzoyl)thiouereido) propanoic acid](MTP) has been synthesized by reaction of 4-Methoxybenzoyl isothiocyanate with tryptophane(1:1), The ligand was characterized elemental microanalysis C.H.N.S, FT-IR, UV-Vis and 1H,13C NMR spectra, Some transition metals complexes were conductivity measurements, magnetic susceptibility atomi...

BACKGROUND Although moderate exercise can benefit health, acute and vigorous exercise may have the opposite effect. Strenuous exercise can induce alterations in the physiology and viability of circulating leucocytes, which have a causal relationship with exercise-induced immune distress. OBJECTIVES To investigate the use of mitochondrial transmembrane potential (MTP), a functional marker of t...

In the past, CYP1A1 protein was known to be located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER; microsomes). More recently, CYP1A1 was shown also to be targeted to the inner mitochondrial membrane; mitochondrial import is dependent on NH(2)-terminal processing that exposes a cryptic targeting signal. It is interesting that microsomal and mitochondrial CYP1A1 enzymes exhibit different substrate specificit...

BACKGROUND The first metatatarsophalangeal joint (1st MTP joint) is a common location for sonographic evidence of urate deposition in people with gout and asymptomatic hyperuricaemia. However, it is unclear whether these are related to clinically-assessed pain and function. This study aimed to determine the association between ultrasound features and clinical characteristics of the 1st MTP join...

A motion trajectory prediction (MTP) based brain-computer interface (BCI) aims to reconstruct the three-dimensional (3D) trajectory of upper limb movement using electroencephalography (EEG). The most common MTP BCI employs a time-series of band-pass filtered EEG potential (referred to here as the potential time-series (PTS) model) for reconstructing the trajectory of a 3D limb movement using mu...

Although the association between chronic, high-dose corticosteroid use and osteonecrosis is well known, the incidence of osteonecrosis following short-term, low-dose steroid taper packs has never been reported across a large population. The goal of this study was to report the incidence and risk of osteonecrosis after methylprednisolone taper pack (MTP) prescriptions in a multicenter electronic...
