UNLABELLED There is some evidence of a relationship between nitric oxide and pain control pathways. However, it is still controversial whether nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors affect minimum alveolar anesthetic concentration (MAC). We examined the effects of 7-nitro indazole (7-NI), a selective neuronal NOS (nNOS) inhibitor, on halothane MAC. With nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phospha...

The objective of the present work was to determine the impact of nitrogen deficiency on proline metabolism in French Bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Strike). The nitrogen was applied to the nutrient solution in the form of NH4NO3 at 1.45 mM (N1), 2.90 mM (N2) and 5.80 mM (N3, optimal level). Our results indicate N deficiency is characterised by a decline in proline accumulation both in t...

A possible alternate vital role of the structural gene for reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-nitrate reductase in Aspergillus nidulans was tested for and found to be absent in a significant number of haploid and diploid strains.

This study shows a marked increase in the activity of the soluble enzyme DT-diaphorase and of the histochemical activity of the reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate nitroblue tetrazolium menadione-mediated reductases in human colonic carcinomas when compared with the enzymatic activities of portions of the colon uninvolved by the carc...

Chloroplasts photochemically reduce 1,1'-trimethylene-2,2'-dipyridylium dibromide and concurrently form adenosine triphosphate. Reduced trimethylene dipyridyl in darkness will reduce spinach ferredoxin, Clostridium pasteurianum ferredoxin, nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate, and other viologen-type dyes.

p 47 phox is 1 of the 5 subunits that makes up the multisubunit complex of the enzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase (Nox2), a major source of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS).

A new type of ferredoxin was isolated from Azotobacter vinelandii cells. The protein was able to replace the native chloroplast ferredoxin in the photoreduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) and functioned as a reductant for the Azotobacter nitrogenase.

Abstract Tropical xero-epiphytic orchids undergo a photosynthetic mechanism called ‘Crassulacean Acid Metabolism’, modification of Calvin–Benson cycle. This anabolic process aids in the long-term retention organically fixed CO 2 , imprinting them as active sequestrators and fixers gaseous . The malate decarboxylation competence enzymes—phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), Nicotinamide Ade...
