Effects of cold acclimatization on liver di- and triphosphopyridine nucleotide.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The levels of oxidized and reduced diand triphosphopyridine nucleotide were measured in liver tissue from rats that had been exposed to cold (40 ± 1° C) for one month. These animals exhibited about 65% more TPNH and total triphosphopyridine nucleotide than control animals maintained at an ambient temperature of 250 ± 10 C. The significance of these alterations to the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation is discussed.

Di- and triphosphopyridine nucleotide isocitric dehydrogenases in yeast.
The biological conversion of d-isocitric to a-ketoglutaric acid was established by the work of Martius and others (1-4). Adler et al. showed that, with extracts of acetone powders of animal tissues, triphosphopyridine nucleotide (TPN) is a specific coenzyme in the reaction and cited evidence for a similar specificity in yeast. Ochoa (5) synthesized oxalosuccinic acid, the intermediate postulate...
متن کاملIn Vitro and in Vivo studies of the Effects of Cold Argon Plasma on Decreasing the Coagulation Time
Introduction Cold plasma is a self-sterilized, painless, and non-contact method in surgeries. These properties allow it to be applied to the living tissues and heat-sensitive parts. The aim of this study was to design a new cold plasma producer device and evaluate the effects of cold argon plasma on decreasing the coagulation time of blood drop in vitro and that of the injured liver blood in vi...

This paper presents the results of experimental work carried out to evaluate the distribution of cold and hot exhaust gas recirculation between cylinders in a DI diesel engine. The experiments have been conducted on a 3.99 liters turbocharged DI diesel engine under full load condition at 1900rpm in order to distinguish and quantify some effects of hot and cooled EGR with various rates on the EG...
متن کاملA triphosphopyridine nucleotide dependent alcohol dehydrogenase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides.
Ethanol formation during glucose fermentation is a relatively common activity of microorganisms; a few species, including Leuconostoc mesenterodes, produce ethanol as a major fermentation end product. The significant results from experiments with various species on this subject are: (1) at least three different metabolic pathways are available for anaerobic conversion of glucose to ethanol (Kos...
متن کاملTRIPHOSPHOPYRIDINE NUCLEOTIDE - CYTOCHROME c REDUCTASE IN LIVER
In yeast the reduction of ferricytochrome c by reduced triphosphopyridine nucleotide (TPNH2) is catalyzed by a flavoprotein, cytochrome c reductase, which contains flavin mononucleotide (FMN, riboflavin phosphate) as the prosthetic group (1). In animal tissue the reduction of ferricytochrome c by TPNHz has not yet been reported, although the reaction with reduced diphosphopyridine nucleotide (D...
