The transport of radiolabeled L-glutamic acid by LRM55 glioma cells in culture was examined. Time course studies indicated that L-[3H]glutamic acid is rapidly accumulated, and then 3H is lost from the cell, presumably in the form of glutamate metabolites. Kinetic analysis of L-glutamate uptake provided evidence for two components of transport. A low affinity component was found to persist at 0 ...

Department ofPhysics, State Uniuersity of New York at Binghamton, Binghamton, New York 13901 (Received 13 April 1984; revised manuscript received 29 August 1984) A decay mode such as PP, YY, K +X, or D +D can be used to distinguish between a neutral spin-0 technipion and a neutral spin-0 Higgs particle. By this generalization of PP parity test, the CP eigenvalue ycP can be determined for an Xpa...

The use of a sodium in chloride dispersion is systematically evaluated for the synthesis nickel(0) and nickel(I) complexes from readily-prepared nickel(II) precursors. A variety with phosphine bipyridine-type ligands were accessed, although some reactions found to produce mixtures nickel(I), yields highly variable. Several new obtained, these characterized using techniques including NMR spectro...

The adsorption, micelle formation, and salting out of sodium dodecyl sulfate in the presence of sodium chloride were studied from the viewpoint of their mixed adsorption and aggregate formation. The surface tension of aqueous solutions of a sodium chloride-sodium dodecyl sulfate mixture was measured as a function of the total molality and composition of the mixture. Phase diagrams of adsorption...

We have previously reported that 1) selective dietary sodium loading (without chloride) does not produce hypertension in rats of the Dahl salt-sensitive strain (DS) and 2) selective chloride loading (without sodium) lowers plasma renin activity in the intact Sprague-Dawley rat maintained on a low NaCl diet. The present study examined the effect of selective dietary chloride loading on two model...

Parfentjev, I. A. (Institute of Applied Biology, New York, N.Y.), and Anna R. Catelli. Tolerance of Staphylococcus aureus to sodium chloride. J. Bacteriol. 88:1-3. 1964.-The tolerance of Staphylococcus aureus to high concentrations of sodium chloride in liquid medium has been reported. We found that S. aureus grows at 37 C in Tryptose Phosphate Broth saturated with sodium chloride. No differenc...

1. Uptake of l-glutamate by Halobacterium salinarium is dependent on high concentrations of sodium chloride in the environment. When the sodium chloride is replaced by isomolar concentrations of potassium chloride, sodium acetate or potassium acetate, only negligible uptake occurs. 2. Most of the glutamate taken up can be shown to be in the cells in the free state and at a concentration of at l...

Distal nephron function of the rat during lithium chloride infusion. Chronic lithium (Li) administration in the rat leads to reduced renal concentration (TCH20) without alterations in renal dilution (CH), To examine the acute effects of lithium on TH2O and C1120, rats were infused with a solution composed of 1% sodium chloride and 1% lithium chloride or a 0.225% lithium chloride solution at rat...
