The occurrence of a photorespiratory 2-phosphoglycolate metabolism in cyanobacteria is not clear. In the genome of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803, we have identified open reading frames encoding enzymes homologous to those forming the plant-like C2 cycle and the bacterial-type glycerate pathway. To study the route and importance of 2-phosphoglycolate metabolism, the identi...

The amount of inorganic carbon represents one of the main environmental factors determining productivity of photoautotrophic organisms. Using the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, we performed a first metabolome study with cyanobacterial cells shifted from high CO(2) (5% in air) into conditions of low CO(2) (LC; ambient air with 0.035% CO(2)). Using gas chromatography-mass spectr...

Urban energy metabolism reflects the transmission and exchange process to uncover structure functionality of urban activities. The literature on is overwhelming still growing. However, few publications have attempted provide a specific review metabolism. Therefore, this study conducted systematic bibliometric analysis explore research status emerging trends. Results showed that amount co-cited ...

background: the aim of the study was to research concerning the epidemiology of newborns' galactosemia during 2007-2008 to find out whether screening was necessary for iranian newborns or not and also what the symptoms of this disease before or after diet were. methods: the data were collected from 24000 newborn babies from fars province, southern iran. the enzymatic calori­metric test was done...

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a kidney disorder secondary to diabetes and one of the main diabetic microvascular complications. As number patients grows, DN has become leading cause chronic disease in China. Unfortunately, no definitive cure currently exists for DN. Cornus officinalis (CO), frequently utilized clinical settings mellitus treatment, proven vital both preventing treating This artic...

IMPORTANCE Cerebrovascular disease and Alzheimer disease (AD) frequently co-occur and seem to act through different pathways in producing dementia. OBJECTIVE To examine cerebrovascular disease and AD markers in relation to brain glucose metabolism in patients with mild cognitive impairment. DESIGN AND SETTING Cohort study among the Alzheimer Disease Neuroimaging Initiative clinical sites in...

• Photosynthetic acclimation of C3 plants to elevated atmospheric [CO 2 ] is often attributed to soluble carbohydrate accumulation. We report the effects of modifying the carbohydrate source–sink balance on carbohydrate metabolism in mature leaves and partitioning in vegetative tissues of rice ( Oryza sativa ). • Plants were grown under ambient atmospheric [CO 2 ] in outdoor, sunlit, environmen...

Hyperglycemia and dysregulation of lipid metabolism play a crucial role in metabolic dysfunction. The aims of present study were to evaluate the ameliorative effect of the ethyl acetate fraction of Chinese olive fruit extract (CO-EtOAc) on high-fat diet (HFD) and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. CO-EtOAc, rich in gallic acid and ellagic acid, could markedly decreased the body weight ...

Isolated rat hepatocytes rapidly utilized [(14)C]palmitate and, in particular, synthesized large amounts of neutral lipids from palmitate. Incorporation into cellular lipids occurred at a linear rate proportional to the medium concentration of fatty acids. Oxidation of [(14)C]palmitate to CO(2) increased with time and was much slower than palmitate esterification. Since [(14)C]acetate and [(14)...
