Baseline neurovascular transduction is reduced in normotensive pregnancy; however, little is known about changes to neurovascular transduction during periods of heightened sympathetic activation. We tested the hypothesis that, despite an exacerbated muscle sympathetic nerve activity (microneurography) response to cold pressor stimulation, the blunting of neurovascular transduction in normotensi...

The pH-rate profiles for hydrolysis of 4-methoxy-2-[3-(4-phenyl-1-piperazinyl)]propyl-2,3-dihydro-6-methyl-1,3-dioxo-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-c] pyridine (H) at 333, 343, 353 and 363 K over the pH range 0.4-5.0 was investigated. The decomposition was followed by the HPLC method (LiChrosorb 100 RP-18 column 250 x 4.0 mm I.D., dp = 5 microm; mobile phase: acetonitrile-phosphate buffer (pH = 2; 0.01 mole/L)...

This paper reports a fundamental study on a force measurement and mechanical modeling of a microbead coated with multiple motor proteins, kinesins, which moves on a cytoskeletal filament, microtubules (MTs). We utilized a laminar flow in a microfluidic channel to apply torque  and drag force FD to the bead, whose values can be derived theoretically. As a result, the adhesion force FAdh was det...

Plasma noradrenaline (PNA) concentrations were measured in 38 subjects aged 13-23, who were followed up for two to four years after an initial blood-pressure (BP) reading of 140/90 mm Hg or over was obtained, and in 39 age-matched controls from the same open population. Subjects who were hypertensive when the PNA concentration was measured had a significantly higher concentration (351 +/- SE 26...

Lipogenic and lipolytic capacities were measured in subcutaneous (backfat) and omental adipose tissue of beef steers weighing 113, 231, 363 and 505 kilograms. A comparison also was made between ad libitum-fed and restricted-fed steers during fattening. Maximum lipogenic capacity in both adipose sites of the ad libitum-fed animals was with the 363-kg steers, and the minimum with the 505-kg steer...

Sulfate uptake capacity and ATP-sulfurylase activity were determined in maize roots (Zea mays L. var. XL 363 and mutant XL 363 o2) at increasing root length. The pattern of uptake showed a close similarity to that of ATP-sulfurylase, both activities reaching the maximum level at 9 and 10 cm root length in the XL 363 and XL 363 o2 hybrids, respectively. In addition to the shift of the maximum, o...

     The aim of this study was to use site directed mutagenesis technique to construct a vector in which serine363 and serine375 residues of the COOH-terminal portion of the μ-opioid receptor (MOR) were substituted by alanine. These constructs are essential in studying G-protein coupled receptor kinase-mediated MOR desensiti-zation. The nested PCR carried out for conversio...
