English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
CONT

Uptake and biotransformation of radioactive choline (3H-Ch) have been studied in P2 fractions from different brain regions of mice treated with different doses of sodium pentobarbital (45-120 mg/kg intraperitoneally) or saline. Sodium dependent uptake (SDU) has been measured as the difference between results of incubations with Na+ in the incubation medium and when the sodium salts were replaced by Trisphosphate and sucrose.

OBS

(Taken from INDEX MEDICUS).

OBS

The term "dependent," when used as an adjective as is the case here, is more frequently written with an "e." "Dependant" with an "a" represents the noun form.

The silent period that follows infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) and precedes seroconversion remains a problem for the screening of blood supply, and knowledge about the mechanism involved in the maintenance of latency is only fragmentary. Using purified nef recombinant protein and six synthetic nef peptides, antibodies to the product of an HIV-1 regulatory gene, the negative regulatory factor (nef) involved in maintenance of proviral latency, were detected by Western blot and radioimmunoassay techniques in HIV-1-seronegative, viral antigen-negative, and virus culture-negative individuals at risk for HIV infection.

Le virus de l'immunodéficience humaine (HIV) présente une organisation génomique complexe, avec l'identification à ce jour de dix gènes codant pour des protéines structurales et régulatrices de l'expression génique virale. Parmi les protéines de régulation, Nef ou negative-regulatory factor (précédemment nommée 3'orf, orf-B, E' ou F) ne semble pas indispensable à la réplication et aux effets cytopathogènes du HIV.

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
CONT

Dietary and metabolic manipulations of the carcinogenic process: role of nucleotide pool imbalances in carcinogenesis. Perturbations in DNA and/or membranes are considered to be important for the carcinogenic process. A search for nutritional and metabolic means of disturbing the homeostasis of DNA and membranes revealed that nucleotide pools offer an exciting possibility. An imbalance in nucleotide pools can exert a two-pronged attack on both DNA and membranes.
