The mechanism by which the angiotensin I (AI) converting enzyme inhibitor SQ20,881 (<GluTrp-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gln-Ile-Pro-Pro) blocks the pressor response to exogenous AI was studied in mo in the intact anesthetized dog. When administered as a single dose 250 times that of Injected AI (250 nmoles/kg) into either the pulmonary or systemic circulation, SQ20,881 produced inhibition of pulmonary conversi...

The mechanism by which the angiotensin I (AI) converting enzyme inhibitor SQ20,881 (less than Glu-Trp-Pro-Arg-Pro-Glu-Ile-Pro-Pro) blocks the pressor response to exogenous AI was studied in vivo in the intact anesthetized dog. When administered as a single dose 250 times that of injected AI (250 nmoles/kg) into either the pulmonary or systemic circulation, SQ20,881 produced inhibition of pulmon...

This paper develops a game-theoretic model of heterogeneous consumers to analyze the effect of cooperative involvement on quality-enhancing product innovation activity, the pricing of food products, and the welfare of the groups involved in the context of a mixed duopoly where an openmembership consumer co-op competes with an IOF. Analytical results show that the involvement of the member welfa...

Regressor selection can be viewed as the rst step in the system identi cation process. The bene ts of nding good regressors before estimating complex models are especially clear for nonlinear systems, where the class of possible models is huge. In this article, a structured way of using the tool Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is presented and used for NARX model (nonlinear autoregressive model wi...

Hordeum jubatum L. is a potential ornamental grass species. Spermidine (Spd) plays regulatory role in plant stress. This study measured seedling growth, photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence, osmotic substance contents, and antioxidant enzyme activities H. seedlings pretreated with Spd (0–1.5 mM at 0.5 intervals) drought treatments simulating natural water loss. The results indicated that th...

The present work indicates that RNA primer requirements for poly(U) polymerase in the free ribosomes of the rat liver depend upon the degree of enzyme purification. The poly(U) polymerase activity obtained from a crude free ribosomal preparation was compared with the enzymic activity of a partially purified enzyme. After preliminary purification, the enzyme was fractionated by chromatography on...

The capacity of arginase-deficient erythrocytes of patients with familial hyperargininemia to produce urea and to catabolize arginine can be increased in vitro by introducing human liver arginase into their erythrocytes. The results of this study on a specific human model show that it is possible to change the metabolic function of a genetically defective erythrocyte by incorporating exogenous ...
