The objective of this study was to determine the Ile requirement in early (d 39 to 61) and late (d 89 to 109) pregnancy using the indicator AA oxidation method. The same 7 Large White × Landrace sows in their fourth parity were used in early and late pregnancy. Each sow received 6 diets based on corn, corn starch, and sugar in both early and late pregnancy at constant feed allowances (2.5 kg/d)...

To determine the mechanism of impaired insulin-stimulated muscle glycogen metabolism in patients with poorly controlled insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), we used 13C-NMR spectroscopy to monitor the peak intensity of the C1 resonance of the glucosyl units in muscle glycogen during a 6-h hyperglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp using [1-(13)C]glucose-enriched infusate followed by nonenriche...

Granulocytes from the peripheral blood of normal subjects and a patient with hereditary myeloperoxidase deficiency were homogenized in 0.34 M sucrose. A granule-rich fraction, prepared by sedimentation at 27,000 x g for 20 min, contained components that killed C. parapsilosis in vitro. These were extractable with 0.01 M citric acid and were shown by micropreparative polyacrylamide electrophores...

In this work, a strategy based on the grafting of vanadium molecular complex, [V(═O)(OtBu)3], (1), bearing tert-butoxide ligands, partially dehydroxylated silica, followed by thermal treatment has been used for preparation supported tripodal V oxo [(≡SiO)3V(═O)], active species, important chemical processes. The complex reacts with silica at 200 °C (SiO2–200) to lead bipodal [(≡SiO)2V(═O)(OtBu)...
