8 Currently, no single test permits de novo WD diagnosis in every potential patient.7 Serum Cp is decreased in neurologic WD, but can be in the low-normal range in up to 50% of adult patients with active liver disease9,10 and the positive predictive value of serum Cp for diagnosis of ...
ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) and acyl-CoA short-chain synthetases 2 (ACSS2) are key enzymes in lipid metabolism. We explored the role of ACLY in gastric cancer (GC) and the effect of ACLY and ACSS2 compensation on GC growth. We used immunohistochemistry to v
According to in vitro assessments (Figure 1), the threshold is likely in the 10-100 µM range, which is at least one order of magnitude lower than the normal intracellular ATP level that is usually in the low mM range [11-14]. Therefore, the basal level of ATP constitutively exerts ...
Control CBF was in the range of 35.9 to 52.6 ml/100 g/min, which was compatible with the authors' previous report. During ATP infusion, ATP concentration of arterial blood increased on 5 occasions (with maximum increase of 470 nmoles/ml), remained unchanged on 3 occasions and decreased on...

They also reported that neutrophils were activated by fMLP in the range from 1 nM to 1 mM peptide, with 100 nM fMLP producing a maximal response [44]. After being activated by 100 nM fMLP, normal human neutrophils have a remarkable degree of depolarization, and the peak membrane ...
One hypothetical possibility would be that ATP levels can drop to micromolar range in some crucial (for survival) cell types under stress or physiological conditions. Then the cells would need to quickly raise them back to normal stable levels (or die). If theKmvalues (for ATP) were optimized...
Neutrophils were isolated from buffy coats prepared from blood taken from normal blood donors. We followed the rules and medical restrictions for volunteers to be accepted as donors of normal blood to be used for patient care/treatment at the Sahlgrenska university hospital. The erythrocytes were rem...
4C). With respect to ATR concentration, the apparent dissociation constant (Kd) was in the low micromolar range (1–2 μM). However, the binding constant for its true substrate N-Ret-PE is more likely in the upper nM range since N-Ret-PE makes up only a portion of the added ATR ...
