A full-length cDNA coding for hydroperoxide lyase (CsHPL) was isolated from cucumber fruits of No. 26 (Southern China type) and No.14-1 (Northern China type), which differed significantly in fruit flavor. The deduced amino acid sequences of CsHPL from both lines show the same and significant similarity to known plant HPLs and contain typical conserved domains of HPLs. The recombinant CsHPL was ...

We describe an enzyme-linked immunoassay for measuring human placental lactogen (HPL) in serum. After suitable dilution, sera are pipetted into the wells of polyvinyl microtitre plates previously coated with anti-HPL. After incubation the sera are decanted, and replaced by a conjugate of horseradish peroxidase and anti-HPL. An amount of enzyme proportional to the concentration of HPL in the ser...

OBJECTIVE Hyperlexic-like reading (defined as word decoding much better than comprehension) has been associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Here we study correlates of a hyperlexic-like reading style (HPL) in ADHD, a condition known to co-occur both with reading difficulties and ASD. METHOD We compared 10 girls with an ADHD diagnosis plus HPL with 26 with ADHD minus HPL. RESULTS Gi...

Haloperidol (HPL) was administered by presenting HPL-admixed food to 20 male and 19 female Sprague-Dawley rats from the age of 5 weeks at a target dose of 1.0 mg/kg/day for 80 weeks. The range of the actual daily dose was 0.48-1.11 mg/kg in males and 0.34-0.73 mg/kg in females. The control rats(13 males and 13 females) were given normal food. In the present study, the general condition and loco...

Equilibrium moisture contents (EMCs) and diffusion coefficients of a high pressure laminate (HPL) overlay, a wood particleboard (PB) substrate, and an HPL backer (BCK) were measured at different levels of relative humidity (RH). The EMCs as a function of RH were fitted to the Nelson's sorption isotherm. It was found that Nelson's model reproduced accurately the experimental data of these differ...

This document augments contribution T1E1.4/99-120 by investigating the QAM transmission methods used for higher-speed Home-phone LANs (HPL), specifically 2-10 Mbps with symbol rates of 2-4 MHz. While higher speed, these newer HPL transmission methods are suggested to be easier for multiuser detection with respect to the pulse position modulation schemes used for earlier Home PNA 1.0 networks, b...

Synthesis of human placental lactogen (hPL) and of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) by membrane-bound and free polyribosomes from early and from full term human placentas was investigated by in vitro release of the nascent hormone peptides, followed by immunoprecipitation and electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate gels, and by specific binding of 125I-labeled hPL antibody to nascent peptid...

Background and aims: Midwives experience a high level of stress due to heavy workloads, which hasbeen shown to have adverse effects on well-being. Accordingly, the main goal of this study was toassess the predictors associated with a healthy lifestyle in a sample of midwives working in hospitalsand health centers of Qazvin, Iran.Methods: A total of 200 midwives were recr...

Background and Aim: Health-promoting lifestyle (HPL) is one of the main criteria which determine health and underlying factors preventing the health-threatening factors. HPL includes six dimensions of spiritual growth, health responsibility, nutrition, stress management, interpersonal relations, and physical activity. Considering the importance of students’ health, both at individual and social...

In a very active cell-free system containing polysomes derived from human placenta and a cell-sap fraction prepared from ascites tumor cells, the synthesis of the hormone human placental lactogen (HPL) was detected. The identification was based on the following: (a) The in vitro synthesized protein labeled with [(35)S]methionine migrated at the same rate as authentic HPL on sodium dodecyl sulfa...
