This work provides new viscosity data of unloaded and partially carbonated aqueous monoethanolamine-piperazine (MEA-PZ) solutions at temperatures between 303.15 373.15 K a N2 pressure 400 kPa. In both cases, the MEA-PZ was measured three different concentrations PZ 5, 10, 15 wt % by keeping concentration MEA constant 30 %. For solutions, measurements were performed varying CO2 0.13 0.55 mol CO2...

Reactions of Co(PMe3)3Cl or CoCl2 with 3,5-(CF3)2-PzNa in hexane give Co(PMe3)3(3,5-(CF3)2-Pz) (1) and Co(PMe3)3(3,5-(CF3)2-Pz)2 (2) respectively (3,5-(CF3)2-PzNa = sodium bis-trifluoromethylpyrazolate). Reaction of (3,5-(CF3)2-PzH) with Co(PMe3)4 produces the unusual complex [cis-Co(PMe3)4H2][Co(PMe3)(3,5-(CF3)2-Pz)3] (3) which formally contains a [Co(III)](+)[Co(II)](-) complex ion pair. Reac...

In the [20], it had been proven that the Integers modulo p, in this article we shall refer as Z/pZ, constitutes a field if and only if p is a prime. Then the prime modulo Z/pZ is an additive cyclic group and Z/pZ∗ = Z/pZ\{0} is a multiplicative cyclic group, too. The former has been proven in the [23]. However, the latter had not been proven yet. In this article, first, we prove a theorem conce...

Phenelzine (PZ) is a scavenger of the lipid peroxidation (LP)-derived reactive aldehyde 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) due to its hydrazine functional group, which can covalently react with 4-HNE. In this study, we first examined the ability of PZ to prevent the respiratory depressant effects of 4-HNE on normal isolated brain cortical mitochondria. Second, in rats subjected to controlled cortical imp...

Investigations have outlined pancreatic secretory and synthetic responses to gastrointestinal hormones. However, there is little information concerning hormonal influences on pancreatic growth. These studies were designed to examine effects of chronic administration of bethanechol and cholecystokinin-pancreozymin (CCK-PZ) on the pancreas. Male albino rats were given saline, bethanechol, 6 mg/kg...

To clarify the role of protein Z (PZ) in children with stroke/thromboembolism (TE), the present haplotype (HT)–based family study was performed. We genotyped 365 pediatric stroke/TE families (stroke n 216; TE n 149) for 4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs3024718, rs3024731, rs3024772, and rs3024778) to assess the association between genetic variation within a conserved block of linkage ...

A series of pyrazine (pz) complexes containing cis-(NH(3))(2)Pt(II), (tmeda)Pt(II) (tmeda = N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine), and trans-(NH(3))(2)Pt(II) entities have been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography and/or 1H NMR spectroscopy. In these compounds, the pz ligands act as monodentate (1-3) or bidentate bridging ligands (4-7). Three variants of the latter case are descr...

Human protein Z (PZ) is a 62,000-Mr, vitamin K-dependent plasma protein whose structure is similar to coagulation factors VII, IX, X, protein C, and protein S, but whose function is not known. The procoagulant activity of factor Xa in a one-stage plasma coagulation assay is reduced when factor Xa is first incubated with PZ. This apparent inhibitory effect is time dependent, requires the presenc...

Protein Z (PZ) is a vitamin K-dependent factor identified in human plasma in 1984 characterized by an homology with other vitamin K-dependent factors (factor VII, IX, X, protein C). In contrast to these factors,PZ does not possess any enzymatic activity but is involved as a cofactor in the down-regulation of coagulation by forming a complex with the protein Z-dependent protease inhibitor (ZPI)....
