Methionine is a dietary indispensable amino acid required for normal growth and development of humans (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). In addition to being a substrate for protein synthesis, methionine is a precursor in transmethylation reactions and is the main methyl group donor to choline and creatine ...
A recent qPCR approach testing the expression of cold shock domain protein transcripts in the harmful algal bloom forming dinoflagellate Scrippsiella trochoidea (StCSP) showed no transcriptional regulation in response to temperature stress. There was, however, a significant increase in StCSP transcript...
A cluster of objective measurements and histopathological data that should be collected on every cancer diagnosed in the UK except for routine basal cell carcinomas. The cancer data set initiative is part of the National Cancer Plan (Department of Health, 2000), presenting the central government's...
A material footprint analysis38,39that accounts for upstream appropriation of resources required for the production of traded goods and services shows that the material footprint per capita of high-income countries was ~13 times larger than that of low-income countries in 1993. The difference rose...
not all chemical probes are equal. Davies et al. described the selectivity of 28 frequently used protein kinase inhibitors and found that none were uniquely active on their presumed target at relevant concentrations (Davies et al.2000). A probe must also be available at the site of action at...
The antibiotic did not spare dietary protein in this experiment, but did give satisfactory gains on a starter containing at least 2% less protein than the starter required to give similar gains without aureomycin. Normal weight gains were made by calves on the 12.2 and 14.2% protein starters ...
The required amounts of opioid analgesics may also vary among patients with pain depending on age, sex, weight, basal pain sensitivity, the type of surgery, perceived pain during the perioperative period [2], and genetic factors. Previous twin studies of experimental heat and cold pressor pain ...
