Cytoplasmic citrate serves as an important regulator of gluconeogenesis and carbon source for de novo lipogenesis in the liver. For this reason, the sodium-coupled citrate transporter (NaCT), a plasma membrane transporter that governs hepatic influx of plasma citrate in human, is being explored as a potential therapeutic target for metabolic disorders. As cytoplasmic citrate also originates fro...

Biodegradation of citrate occurred under LLW repository relevant conditions with Ni and U present. Citrate biodegradation led to the formation insoluble sulfides or nanocrystalline U( iv )–phosphate may promote Ni/U retention in repositories.

Citrate is one of the most important organic acids in many fruits and its concentration plays a critical role in organoleptic properties. The regulation of citrate accumulation throughout fruit development, and the origins of the phenotypic variability of the citrate concentration within fruit species remain to be clarified. In the present study, we developed a process-based model of citrate ac...

The putative citrate metabolic pathway in Lactobacillus casei ATCC 334 consists of the transporter CitH, a proton symporter of the citrate-divalent metal ion family of transporters CitMHS, citrate lyase, and the membrane-bound oxaloacetate decarboxylase complex OAD-ABDH. Resting cells of Lactobacillus casei ATCC 334 metabolized citrate in complex with Ca(2+) and not as free citrate or the Mg(2+...

background: potassium citrate (k‑cit) is one of the medications widely used in patients with urolithiasis. however, in some cases with calcium oxalate (caox) urolithiasis, the significant response to alkaline therapy with k‑cit alone does not occur. there is scarce published data on the effect of magnesium chloride (mg‑cl2) on urolithiasis in pediatric patients. this study aimed to evaluate the...

there are currently ‎many different protocols in use for controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (coh), but the optimal method has ‎not yet been determined. to compare the outcome of coh using ‎clomiphene citrate (cc) versus cc plus human menopausal gonadotropin (hmg) in conjunction with intrauterine insemination (iui), we studied 117 infertile couples‎. iui with cc was used in 92 cycles ‎(group a)...

objective: to evaluate the impact of luteal phase support with vaginal progesterone on pregnancy rates in the intrauterine insemination (iui) cycles, stimulated with clomiphene citrate and human menopausal gonadotropin (hmg), in sub fertile couples. materials and methods: this prospective, randomized, double blind study was performed in a tertiary infertility center from march 2011 to january 2...

Regional anticoagulation with citrate is an alternative to heparin in continuous renal replacement therapies, which may prolong circuit lifetime and decrease hemorrhagic complications. A retrospective comparative cohort study based on a prospective observational registry was conducted including critically ill children undergoing CRRT. Efficacy, measured as circuit survival, and secondary effect...

Anaerobic growth of Klebsiella aerogenes NCDO 711 (NCTC 418) on citrate was dependent on the presence of Na+ in the medium, and fermentation of citrate was mediated via the fermentation pathway enzymes, citrate lyase and a Na+-dependent oxalacetate decarboxylase. This confirms the previous findings on strain NCTC 418. Growth under aerobic conditions was independent of Na+. The mean generation t...
