Short term effect of nitrous oxide on methionine and S-adenosyl methionine concentrations.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Concentrations of methionine and S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) have been measured in various tissues of rats exposed to 50% nitrous oxide for periods up to 80 min, a time by which there is detectable interference with thymidine synthesis in bone marrow. There were no significant changes of either SAM or methionine in plasma, whole blood or brain. Hepatic SAM was unchanged, but there was a highly significant reduction in hepatic methionine, to 62% of control, after 80 min exposure to nitrous oxide.

Adenosine dialdehyde and nitrous oxide induce HL-60 differentiation.
Adenosine dialdehyde and nitrous oxide, specific S-adeno-sylhomocysteine hydrolase and methionine synthetase inhibitors, respectively, induced differentiation of the human promyelocytic cell line HL-60. Their effect did not appear to be mediated through changes in transmethylation or decreased S-adenosylmethionine synthesis because (1) there was little correlation between the concentrations of ...
متن کاملThe specificity of S-adenosylmethionine derivatives in methyl transfer reactions.
The preparation, purification, and analysis of a variety of new sulfonium derivatives of methionine is reported. Deamination of S-adenosyl-L-methionine with nitrous acid yielded, depending on experimental conditions, S-adenosyl L-(Z-hydroxy-4-methylthio)butyric acid or S-inosyl-L-(Z-hydroxy 4 methylthio)butyric acid. S-Inosyl L methionine was obtained by enzymatic deamination of S-adenosyl-Lhom...
متن کاملPlasma amino acids and tissue methionine levels in fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) with nitrous oxide-induced vitamin B12 deficiency.
The effect of methylcobalamin inactivation by the gas nitrous oxide on plasma amino acid and tissue methionine levels in fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) was examined. Animals exposed to N2O-oxygen (1:1, v/v) for 90 min daily received a fruit diet with or without methionine or betaine supplements. Exposure and diets were continued for up to 17 weeks or until neurological impairment and muscul...
متن کاملEffect of nitrous oxide exposure during surgery on the homocysteine concentrations of children.
BACKGROUND Nitrous oxide converts vitamin B12 to its nonmetabolically active form, inhibits methionine synthase, and results in an elevation of plasma total homocysteine (tHcy). The authors investigated the effect of nitrous oxide anesthesia on the plasma tHcy concentrations in children the morning after surgery and whether blood concentrations of folate and vitamins B12 and B6 were associated ...
متن کاملPharmacogenetics of nitrous oxide: standing at the crossroads.
IT has long been known that nitrous oxide in clinically relevant doses and durations shuts down single carbon pathways by virtue of oxidation of the cobalamin cofactor of methionine synthase, the sole occupant at the crossroads of the methylation, transsulfuration, and folate cycles. Surprisingly, the clinical consequences of nitrous oxide–mediated, folate–cobalamin cycle inactivation have not ...
