AIMS To investigate the effect of Glu-3 OXM-like analogues on food intake and bodyweight in male rats. BACKGROUND Oxyntomodulin (OXM) is a natural agonist at both the glucagon receptor (GCGr) and the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1r), and peripheral administration reduces food intake and increases energy expenditure in rodents and humans. Substituting the native glutamine (Gln) at ami...

We study analogues of Jucys-Murphy elements in cellular algebras arising from repeated Jones basic constructions. Examples include Brauer and BMW algebras and their cyclotomic analogues.

A Pseudomonas sp. rapidly metabolized several nonchlorinated analogues of DDT, with the exception of 2,2-diphenylethanol, as the sole carbon source. Several of the mono-p-chloro-substituted diphenyl analogues were also metabolized as the sole carbon source by the bacterium. The resulting chlorinated aromatic acid metabolites were not further metabolized. The isolate was unable to metabolize p,p...

Two monothio analogues of mescaline and three monothio analogues of 2,3,4-trimethoxyphenethylamine (isomescaline) have been synthesized and characterized. Only the two mescaline analogues (3-and 4-thiomescaline) were found to be psychotomimetics in man, being 6 and 12 times more potent than mescaline, respectively. All five compounds can serve as substrates for bovine plasma monoamine oxidase i...

Z-E Isomerisation because of rotation around the exocyclic double bond (known as the τ-twist) and not any other internal conversion has been reported to be the major nonradiative decay channel for non-hydroxylic unconstrained para and meta GFP chromophore analogues. The equation Φf + 2ΦZE = 1 has been shown to hold well for both para and meta GFP chromophore analogues. If the above equation hol...

one series of half-analogues of michler’s ketone containing one or more terminal methoxysubstituents with variable tertiary amino groups have been used in this study. nmr spectralresults for the parent ketones confirm earlier findings that ortho proton shifts are apparentlyindependent from steric effects in derivatives of michler’s ketone because the ring current andcarbonyl-induced shifts are ...

co(ii) and cu(ii) promoted base hydrolysis of 2-cyano, 1, lo-phenanthroline was studied. at 298.2°k, cu(ii) reaction is more efficient (by a factor of 20) than either co(ll) and its analogues ni(ii) in promoting base hydrolysis.

the generalization of p-frame in banach spaces is considered in this paper. the concepts of an $tilde{x}$-frame and a system conjugate to $tilde{x}$-frame were introduced. analogues of the results on the existence of conjugate system were obtained. the stability of $tilde{x}$-frame having a conjugate system is studied.

objectives in order to provide a pharmacological profile for some newly synthesized dihydropyridines, we investigated their effects on the isolated rat colon segments and the isolated rat atrium contractility. the tested compounds include alkyl ester analogues of nifedipine, in which the ortho-nitrophenyl group at position 4 is replaced by 2-alkylthio-1-benzyl-5-imidazolyl substituent, and nife...
