Transport, nutritional and metabolic studies of taurine in staphylococci.
A specific, Na+-dependent, energy-requiring transport system for taurine has been reported recently in the Staphylococcus aureus M strain. Taurine was taken up vigorously by all S. aureus strains tested. The system was Na+-dependent, and Na+ decreased the Km but had no effect on the Vmax of the transport system. Among coagulase-negative staphylococci, the Staphylococcus epidermidis group (a tax...
متن کاملpostnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)
1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...
simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
Taurine and metabolic disease
Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid, which does not enter protein synthesis, and is traditionally considered as an inert molecule without any reactive groups. Besides the well-known conjugation with bile acids, taurine has a number of other physiological functions such as, intracellular osmolyte for volume regulation and some antioxidant properties (Bouckenooghe et al., 2006; Hansen, 2001...
متن کاملTaurine transport in epilepsy.
Previous studies of plasma taurine concentrations in epileptics have yielded equivocal results. We measured plasma and urinary taurine in 41 epileptic and 68 control subjects and found plasma concentrations among epileptics to be comparable in general to those of controls, but that two or three classes of plasma taurine concentrations, possibly genetically regulated, occur in both epileptic and...
