Measurement of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide & nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate in tomato leaves.

چکیده
As part of an investigation of the growth of tomato plants supplied with either nitrate or ammonium nitrogen (6), leaves were assayed for NAD4 and NADP. Anderson and Vennesland (1) assayed NAD and NADP in various green tissues and reported recoveries between 50 % and 85 % of NAD and NADP added to spinach leaf extracts. Very low levels of NAD and NADP were recorded for tomato leaf extracts. These low levels were attributed to losses of NAD and NADP in the additional purification steps necessary with tomato leaf material for removal of other compounds absorbing at 340 my'. The method reported here provides an improved procedure for the assay of NAD and NADP in tomato leaf extracts.

Verifying of Participation of Nitric Oxide in Morphine Place Conditioning in the Rat Medial Septum Using Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate-Diaphorase (NADPH-d)
Background: Role of nitric oxide (NO) in morphine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) has already been proposed in the rat medial septum (MS), but no molecular evidence has been provided to clear this fact. Methods: Effects of intraseptal injections of L-arginine and/or NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) on morphine place conditioning in Wistar rats were examined. Morphine (2.5-7....

Special diets that were extremely low in protein (5.5%) and high in carbohydrate were used to test the effect of nicotinamide on A/-nitrosodimethylamine-induced Carcinogenesis in Holtzman albino rats. The level of nicotinamide in the three diets ranged from 0 mg/kg of food to 50 mg/kg to 500 mg/kg. During the treatment with these diets (5 weeks) and the carcinogen (18 days), the renal and hepat...

Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) from Streptomyces aureofaciens was purified and denatured in 6 M urea. Denaturation led to complete dissociation of the enzyme into its inactive monomers, 98% loss of the enzyme activity, about 30% decrease in the protein fluorescence and a 10 nm red shift in the emission maximum. Dilution of urea-denatured enzyme resulted in regaining of the enzyme acti...
