The effects of internal tetrabutylammonium (TBA) and tetrapentylammonium (TPeA) were studied on human cardiac sodium channels (hH1) expressed in a mammalian tsA201 cell line. Outward currents were measured at positive voltages using a reversed Na gradient. TBA and TPeA cause a concentration-dependent increase in the apparent rate of macroscopic Na current inactivation in response to step depola...

A meta-analysis of studies evaluating feedlot steer implant programs was conducted to evaluate the differential effects of anabolic implant dosage on feedlot performance and carcass traits. The effect sizes of the implant dosage of interest vs. negative controls and vs. other implant dosages on various dependent variables (ADG, F:G, DMI, dressing percentage [DP], HCW, yield grade, percentage Ch...

There is an interesting relation between the quantum periods on a certain limit of local $\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^1$ Calabi-Yau space and TBA (Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz) system appeared in studies ABJM (Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena) theory. We propose one-parameter generalization relation. Furthermore, we derive differential operators for TBA-like equation various limits generalized

Treatment of lambs (initial BW 28 kg) for 24 d with a combined implant containing 40 mg of trenbolone acetate (TBA) and 8 mg of estradiol (E2) increased ADG 25% ( P < .05, n = 8) and feed efficiency 23% ( P < .05, n = 2) compared with unimplanted lambs. By d 3 following implantation, sera from wethers implanted with TBA + E2 showed 32% (307 vs 233 ng/mL) increases ( P < .001, n = 8) in IGF-I co...

The Thiobarbituric Acid (TBA) reactive substances assay is an easy and quick assay for the assessment in plants of lipid peroxidation, in which Malondialdehyde (MDA) is derivatized. To analyze the applicability of this method, the MDA concentrations in the leaves of different plants were measured by the TBA method. To further separate the interfering substances, fractional extraction and Gas Ch...

Validation of pluripotent modules in diverse networks holds enormous potential for systems biology and network pharmacology. An arising challenge is how to assess the accuracy of discovering all potential modules from multi-omic networks and validating their architectural characteristics based on innovative computational methods beyond function enrichment and biological validation. To display t...

The reversible folding of the thrombin-binding DNA aptamer G-quadruplexes (GQs) (TBA-15) starting from fully unfolded states was demonstrated using a prolonged time scale (10-12 μs) parallel tempering metadynamics (PTMetaD) simulation method in conjunction with a modified version of the AMBER bsc1 force field. For unbiased descriptions of the folding free energy landscape of TBA-15, this force ...

Vapor condensates of baseline gasoline (BGVC), or gasoline-blended with methyl tertiary butyl ether (G/MTBE), ethyl t-butyl ether (G/ETBE), t-amyl methyl ether (G/TAME), diisopropyl ether (G/DIPE), ethanol (G/EtOH), or t-butyl alcohol (G/TBA) were evaluated for reproductive toxicity in rats at target concentrations of 2000, 10,000, or 20,000mg/m(3), 6h/day, 7days/week. BGVC and G/MTBE were asse...

It has been proposed that a ring-opened form may be responsible for the toxicity of benzene. The present studies demonstrate that incubation of [14C]benzene with liver microsomes (obtained from male CD-1 mice treated with benzene) in the presence of NADPH results in the formation of a ring-opened product. Evidence for the identity of this product was obtained by derivatizing with 2-thiobarbitur...

The nutritive compositions and oxidative stabilities of processed avocado pastes at ambient (30±1 ̊C, RH80%) and refrigerator (5-6 o C) storage temperatures were evaluated and studied. Avocado pulp was blended with ingredients, chilled, kneaded and shaped. For oxidative studies varying concentrations and combinations of Ascorbyl palmitate (AP) and Propyl gallate (PG) were blended with the pulp. ...
