Quantitative measurement of melanin as tyrosine equivalents and as weight of purified melanin.
Previously we reported stoichiometric studies on melanin synthesis in cultures of mouse melanoma cells (1). In this system there was no accumulation of intermediates in the Raper-Mason-Nicolaus pathway for melanin synthesis and the amount of hydroxylated tyrosine was quantitatively related to the release of hydrogen as water from positions 3 and 5 of the benzene ring of tyrosine during the seri...
متن کاملSynthesis of high molecular weight polyethylene using FI catalyst
A FI Zr-based catalyst of bis[N-(3,5-dicumylsalicylidene)-2′,6′diisopropylanilinato]zirconium(IV) dichloride was prepared and used for polymerization of ethylene. The effects of reaction conditions on the polymerization were examined in detail. The increase in ethylene pressure and rise in polymerization temperature up to 35 oC were favorable for catalyst/MAO to raise the catalytic activity as...
متن کاملHypothalamic melanin-concentrating hormone and estrogen-induced weight loss.
Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is an orexigenic neuropeptide produced by neurons of the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA). Because genetic MCH deficiency induces hypophagia and loss of body fat, we hypothesized that MCH neurons may represent a specific LHA pathway that, when inhibited, contributes to the pathogenesis of certain anorexia syndromes. To test this hypothesis, we measured behavio...
متن کاملMolecular preservation of the pigment melanin in fossil melanosomes.
Fossil feathers, hairs and eyes are regularly preserved as carbonized traces comprised of masses of micrometre-sized bodies that are spherical, oblate or elongate in shape. For a long time, these minute structures were regarded as the remains of biofilms of keratinophilic bacteria, but recently they have been reinterpreted as melanosomes; that is, colour-bearing organelles. Resolving this funda...
متن کاملMolecular control of phenoloxidase-induced melanin synthesis in an insect.
The melanization reaction induced by activated phenoloxidase in arthropods must be tightly controlled because of excessive formation of quinones and excessive systemic melanization damage to the hosts. However, the molecular mechanism by which phenoloxidase-induced melanin synthesis is regulated in vivo is largely unknown. It is known that the Spätzle-processing enzyme is a key enzyme in the pr...
