Profiling Of Terpene Metabolism in 13CO2-Labelled Thymus Transcaucasicus

Terpene Specialized Metabolism in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Terpenes constitute the largest class of plant secondary (or specialized) metabolites, which are compounds of ecological function in plant defense or the attraction of beneficial organisms. Using biochemical and genetic approaches, nearly all Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) enzymes of the core biosynthetic pathways producing the 5-carbon building blocks of terpenes have been characterized an...

Metabolism of 14C-labelled alphaxalone in man.

The metabolism of 14C-labelled alphaxalone, dispensed as Althesin, was studied in normal patients, patients with obstructive jaundice and patients with chronic renal disease and anuria. The radioactive label was removed rapidly from the plasma following i.v. administration. The major portion of the label was excreted in the urine. In patients with normal renal function 14C-labelled alphaxalone ...

Gene Expression Profiling in Porcine Fetal Thymus

To obtain an initial overview of gene diversity and expression pattern in porcine thymus, 11,712 ESTs (Expressed Sequence Tags) from 100-day-old porcine thymus (FTY) were sequenced and 7,071 cleaned ESTs were used for gene expression analysis. Clustered by the PHRAP program, 959 contigs and 3,074 singlets were obtained. Blast search showed that 806 contigs and 1,669 singlets (totally 5,442 ESTs...

Metabolism of 14C-ring-labelled paracetamol in humans.

Metabolism of `251-labelled trypsin in man: evidence for recirculation

251-labelled human trypsin metabolism has been investigated in man. Three subjects received 1251-trypsin and 1311-albumin intravenously. Against a background secretin infusion (lu/kg/h), trypsin decayed biexponentially from the serum with half-lives of 17.5, 21, and 24 minutes for the rapid disappearance phase and 520, 540, and 560 minutes for the slow phase. Between 130% and 38% of the 1251 in...
