Kynurenine metabolism in rats: some hormonal factors affecting enzyme activities.
The effects of certain long-term hormonal treatments of male and female rats on the activities of several enzymes involved in kynurenine synthesis and degradation were determined to further rationalize previously observed sex differences . Treatment causing elevated tryptophan oxygenase activities (corticosteroid administration) did not cronsistently result in changes of kynurenine hydrolaxe an...
متن کاملFactors Affecting the Intracellualr Synthesis of Kynurenine
Near the time of pupation, autofluorescent kynurenine globules appear in the cells in the anterior region of the fatbody of Drosophila melanogaster. It has been reported previously that kynurenine synthesis may be induced in an additional group of fat cells by feeding the precursor tryptophan to Drosophila larvae, and that this induction of kynurenine production viewed within the fat cells is c...
متن کاملLipid metabolism, cerebral metabolic rate, and some related enzyme activities after brain infarction in rats.
Multiple infarcts were produced in cerebral hemispheres of rats by injecting calibrated 50-micron microspheres into the left internal carotid artery, and alterations in lipid and energy metabolism were evaluated 24 hours later in the embolized hemisphere. Total phospholipid content was decreased by 26%, but the different classes of phospholipids were not equally affected. Phosphatidylinositol a...
متن کاملSome factors affecting carbon dioxide metabolism in neurospora crassa.
Although the role of carbon dioxide in metabolism has been examined in an extensive variety of animal and plant tissues (l), especially in microorganisms (2), to the authors’ knowledge the literature is devoid of any such references for Neurospora. This mold is particularly appropriate for such studies in view of the many well known mutants of diverse metabolic potentialities which might reveal...
