Beyond the conviction that Major Depression can found its origin in genetics [1-3] a bio molecular mechanism could be hypothesized from what emerged from the studies on platelets fatty acid composition in human (normal and depressive subjects) which allowed classifying the depressive disorder [4] using an Artificial Neural Network (Self Organizing Map-SOM) [5], as mathematical tool, because of ...

Proline metabolism is an important pathway that has relevance in several cellular functions such as redox balance, apoptosis, and cell survival. Results from different groups have indicated that substrate channeling of proline metabolic intermediates may be a critical mechanism. One intermediate is pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C), which upon hydrolysis opens to glutamic semialdehyde (GSA). Recent...

The effect of 20 L-amino acids upon pancreatic glucagon secretion has been studied in conscious dogs. Each amino acid was administered intravenously over a 15 min period in a dose of 1 mmole/kg of body weight to a group of four or five dogs. Pancreatic glucagon and insulin were measured by radioimmunoassay. 17 of the 20 amino acids caused a substantial increase in plasma glucagon. Asparagine ha...

The ecological impacts of emerging pollutants such as pharmaceuticals are not well understood. The lack of experimental approaches for the identification of pollutant effects in realistic settings (that is, low doses, complex mixtures, and variable environmental conditions) supports the widespread perception that these effects are often unpredictable. To address this, we developed a novel scree...

For accurate dose assessment due to radon progeny inhalation, its size distribution is one of the most important physical parameters from the viewpoint of the dosimetric approach. A typical size distribution of the radon progeny is bimodal with unattached and attached fraction. For measuring the activity-weighted size distribution of unattached fraction, a new GSA consisted of four fine stainle...
