Leaves from mature Griffonia simplicifolia plants were examined for the presence of leaf lectins possessing sugar binding specificities similar to the four known seed lectins (GS-I, GS-II, GS-III, GS-IV). Three (GS-I, -II, -IV) of the four known G. simplicifolia seed lectins were present in the leaves. Leaf G. simplicifolia lectins I and IV were similar to the respective seed lectins. Leaf GS-I...

BACKGROUND GRACE risk score (GS) is a scoring system which has a prognostic significance in patients with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (non-STEMI). OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to determine whether end-systolic or end-diastolic epicardial fat thickness (EFT) is more closely associated with high-risk non-STEMI patients according to the GS. METHODS We evaluated 207 pati...

Glutamine synthetase (GS) is a glucocorticoid-inducible enzyme that has a key role for glutamate metabolism in the central and peripheral nervous system. In this study GS activity was measured and the amount of immunoreactive GS (ir-GS) cells in the rat anterior pituitary gland was quantified as a function of age. In addition, the effects of GS inhibitors, glucocorticoid administration, and adr...

Ammonium assimilation during the initial stages of Scots pine growth involves two cytosolic glutamine synthetase (GS, EC: 6.3.1.2) isoenzymes encoded by separate genes, GS1a and GS1b. GS1a was most exclusively expressed in photosynthetic tissues of the seedling whereas GS1b was expressed ubiquitously showing higher levels in non-photosynthetic tissues such as root and hypocotyl. Temporal expres...

Partial hepatectomy (PH) results in the persistent drop of the specific activity of glutamine synthetase (GS) (EC 6.3.1.2). This drop correlates with the reduced proportion of GS* hepatocytes and with the reduced GS* area surrounding the central veins such that GS* hepatocytes are arranged in a single cell layer only. Cultivation of hepatocytes isolated at various times after PH revealed consid...

PURPOSE To investigate whether tumor volume derived from apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps (VolumeADC) and tumor mean ADC value (ADCmean) are independent predictors of prostate tumor Gleason score (GS). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Tumor volume and GS were recorded from whole-mount histopathology for 131 men (median age, 60 years) who underwent endorectal diffusion-weighted MRI for local stagi...

PURPOSE GS-9219 is a cell-permeable prodrug of the acyclic nucleotide analogue 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)guanine (PMEG); the incorporation of the active metabolite PMEG diphosphate (PMEGpp) into DNA results in DNA chain termination due to the lack of a 3'-hydroxyl moiety. We hypothesized that the incorporation of PMEGpp into DNA during repair resynthesis would result in the inhibition of DNA ...
