OBJECTIVE To test whether protein anabolic resistance is an early defect in type 2 diabetes (T2D). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Seven lean, normoglycemic T2D offspring (T2D-O) and eight matched participants without family history (controls; C) underwent a 3-hour hyperinsulinemic (40 mU/m2/min), euglycemic (5.5 mmol/L) and isoaminoacidemic clamp. Whole-body glucose and protein kinetics were mea...

To better define the usefulness of blood myoglobin measurements in evaluating the effectiveness of attempted thrombolysis, we studied the kinetics of myoglobin entry into and removal from the circulation after coronary artery reperfusion and the relation between directly measured depletion of myocardial myoglobin after coronary occlusion and reperfusion and the amount of depletion predicted fro...

We examined patterns of covalent modifications of DNA produced in rat liver after exposure to single and multiple doses of aflatoxin Bt. The principal product, previously identified as 2,3-dihydro-3-hydroxy(A/7-guanyl) aflatoxin B,, was removed rapidly from liver DNA in vivo after a 0.6-mg/kg dose was administered i.p. to male Fischer rats. This lesion had an apparent half-life of 7.5 hr. Simil...

We examined patterns of covalent modifications of DNA produced in rat liver after exposure to single and multiple doses of aflatoxin B1. The principal product, previously identified as 2,3-dihydro-3-hydroxy(N7-guanyl) aflatoxin B1, was removed rapidly from liver DNA in vivo after a 0.6-mg/kg dose was administered i.p. to male Fischer rats.

  Wax precipitate is one of the most serious issues the oil industry is currently facing, since it can cause some troubles such as increasing of the pressure losses in pipe which subsequently increases the required power for pumpage. To remove this problem, prediction of wax disappearance temperature (WDT) seems necessary. In this study, the pressure influence on the wax disappearance temperatu...

TheABCs of empirical chemical kinetics are highlighted from the scratch. Aspects of dynamics regarding charge carrier trapping and recombination are essential part of this discussion. The effect of imposition of external constrains such as temperature of the reactivity solution, concentration of the subject compound, intensity and wavelength of light on photocatalytic degradation system is emph...
