a, ar-Di(glycylamino)propionic acid hydrochloride, (NH&H2CONH)2C(CH,)COOH.HCl, is enzymatically hydrolyzed in aqueous extracts of rat kidney to yield, as a maximum, 1 mole of ammonia and 1 mole of pyruvic acid per mole of substrate (1). a-(dl-Chloropropionylamino)-a-(nI,-alanylamino)propionic acid and a:, ac-di(nL-alanylamino)propionic acid hydrochloride are also hydrolyzed by rat kidney, the f...

A novel Schiff-base ligand (L: 2-[(4-chloro-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-ylmethylene)-amino] propionic acid) was prepared from the reaction of 4-chloro3-formylcoumarin and alanine amino acid. Copper (II) complex was synthesized from the reaction of the ligand with Cu (OAc)2. H2O in ethanol. The ligand and its metal complex were characterized by elemental analysis (CHN), ICP, thermal analysis (TGA), Fouri...

The new N,N,O ligand 2,2-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)propionic acid (2,2-Hbdmpzp) (2) and its transition metal complexes [Mn(2,2-bdmpzp)(CO)(3)] (3), [Re(2,2-bdmpzp)(CO)(3)] (4), [Cu(2,2-bdmpzp)(2)] (5), and [Ru(2,2-bdmpzp)Cl(L)(PPh(3))] [L = PPh(3) (6), N(2) (7), CO (8a/b), SO(2) (9a/b)] have been synthesized, characterized and compared to analogous complexes bearing a bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol...

this experiment was conducted to determine the effects of propionic acid, formic acid, molasses and molasses plus urea on chemical composition, microbial population, ruminal degradability of dry matter (dm) and crude protein (cp), and aerobic stability of corn silage. prior to ensiling, whole crop corn was chapped and treated with water (control), propionic acid (1%), formic acid (0.8%), molass...

this study examined the effects of a protein rich diet on coping neurotransmitter levels in orally administered ampicillin–induced neurotoxic rats compared with propionic acid (pa) models of autism. 40 young male western albino rats were divided into four groups. the first group served as control and received phosphate buffered saline orally; the second group serving as autistic model was treat...

1. An experiment was conducted using three non-lactating cows completely maintained by infusions of volatile fatty acids into the rumen, and casein into the abomasum. Plasma insulin responses to propionic acid, glucose or casein were recorded. Further information was obtained using protein-free infusions. 2. When part of the propionic acid was infused into the rumen in a twice-daily 3 h dose an...

Introduction: A neurodevelopmental disorder, autism typically identified with three primary behavioral consequences, such as social impairment, communication problems and limited or stereotypical behavior. Because of its co-morbidity and lack of therapeutic options, autism is a global economic burden. A short chain of fatty acid, propionic acid formed biologically by gut microbiome. Propionic a...

BACKGROUND The minimum alveolar concentration is determined in the spinal cord rather than in the brain. Xenon inhibits glutamatergic excitatory synaptic transmission in the dorsal horn neurons. However, its actions in the ventral horn neurons have not been investigated. METHODS The effects of 50 or 75% xenon on excitatory and inhibitory synaptic transmission were examined in the spinal lamin...

Academic Dissertation To be presented for public criticism, with the permission of the Faculty of Science of the (1998) Disulfide bonding and cysteine accessibility in the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid receptor subunit GluRD. Implications for redox modulation of glutamate receptors. receptors and bacterial periplasmic amino acid-binding proteins share the ionic mechanism ...
