While α does not affect the k cat and K M , it does affect the uptake rate. The higher it is (i.e., the larger the asymmetry), the lower the uptake rate. When the assumptions of fast substrate to transporter binding and symmetry are dropped, an analytic evaluation of this trade-...
Iodine is essential to a proper functioning thyroid and preventing hypothyroidism. But as we grow older, our thyroid starts slowing down. It just can’t metabolize the iodine it needs as efficiently, and that means the hormone produced (also known as thyroid) goes down as well. There are 2 ...
Glucose Uptake by Flow Cytometry For measuring glucose uptake in T cells, we used 2-NBDG (2-deoxy-2-[(7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl)amino]-D-glucose, purchased from Cayman Chemicals), based upon a previously published protocol (Sukumar et al., 2013). Briefly, we diluted 2-NBDG ...
The yield of avocado trees planted on clayey soils decreases due to irrigation with treated-waste water (TWW). We hypothesized that the main cause for this yield reduction is the reduction in water uptake by the trees roots. The aim of this numerical study was to identify the main soil ...
This means that had the data been complete, we would probably see a larger proportion of lower categories. Consequently, we might then have seen a larger protective effect of aspirin, as the incompletion was higher among users of aspirin. The strength of the study is that it is a large ...
Fatty liver hemorrhage syndrome (FLHS) becomes one of the most major factors resulting in the laying hen death for caged egg production. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (Lp. plantarum) FRT4 on FLHS
On the one hand, the AM fungus promotes the uptake and circulation of nutrients in the mycorrhizal plants, and on the other hand, it has an impact on the photosynthetic process, since the symbiotic status activates the light-harvesting system making PSII more performing in all its photochemical...
When it reached equilibrium, no significant uptake of metal ions occurred, representing the general characteristics of metal ion adsorption on iron oxide (Arora 2019; Sherlala et al. 2018). Katoh et al. (2016) used apatite and performed Pb2+ removal experiments in the presence and ...
They suggested that this reflects low selenium stores in premature infants and uptake into other compartments. In contrast to our study , they observed either no change or a slight drop in plasma selenium and gluta- thione peroxidase over a 3-wk period. The more dramatic de- creases seen in...
For this reason the management of clinical T3N0 is still controversial and preoperative RT or CRT is warranted for this subgroup of rectal cancer patients, despite the risk of overtreating early-stage disease [28]. Besides reducing local recurrence and improving survival, an additional goal in ...
