Attenuation of ischemic liver injury by prostaglandin E
Background: Prostaglandin has been reported to have protective effects against liver injury. Use of this agent in clinical settings, however, is limited because of drugrelated side effects.

The Applied Biosystems PRISMTM fluorescence-based genotyping system as well as the Invitrogen TA Cloning® vector system are influenced by the tendency of Taq DNA polymerase to add an adenine nucleotide to the 3′ end of PCR products after extension ...

Can adenine nucleotides predict primary nonfunction of the human liver homograft? [PDF]
Sixty-eight primary liver grafts were analyzed to see whether adenine nucleotides (AN: ATP, ADP, and AMP) or purine catabolites (PC: adenosine, inosine, hypoxanthine, and xanthine) of tissue or effluent can predict primary graft nonfunction.

The hypoxic tissue microenvironment as a driver of mucosal inflammatory resolution
On the backdrop of all acute inflammatory processes lies the activation of the resolution response. Recent years have witnessed an emerging interest in defining molecular factors that influence the resolution of inflammation.

Pathways of adenine nucleotide catabolism in erythrocytes. [PDF]
The exact pathway whereby the initial catabolism of the adenine nucleotides proceeds from AMP and the possibility of a recycling of adenosine were investigated in human erythrocytes. Adenine nucleotide catabolism, reflected by the production of hypoxanthine, is very slow under physiologic conditions and can be greatly increased by suppression of ...

Increased Adenine Nucleotide Degradation in Skeletal Muscle Atrophy [PDF]
Adenine nucleotides (AdNs: ATP, ADP, AMP) are essential biological compounds that facilitate many necessary cellular processes by providing chemical energy, mediating intracellular signaling, and regulating protein metabolism and solubilization.

Binding of adenine nucleotides to mitochondrial membrane [PDF]
It has been reported from different laboratories [l-4] that mitochondria are capable of binding ATP. However the exact magnitude of binding, and the relevance of this process to the mechanism of oxidative phosphorylation are still unknown, due to the extremely low amounts of bound nucleotides, and to some difficulties in carrying out the measurements ...

Modelling the ATP production in mitochondria [PDF]
We revisit here the mathematical model for ATP production in mitochondria introduced recently by Bertram, Pedersen, Luciani, and Sherman (BPLS) as a simplification of the more complete but intricate Magnus and Keizer's model. We identify some inaccuracies in the BPLS original approximations for two flux rates, namely the adenine nucleotide translocator

Interactions of slow electrons with biomolecules [PDF]
We report on results of computational studies of the interaction of slow electrons with the purine and pyrimidine bases of DNA, as well as with their associated nucleosides and nucleotides.

Absence of Ca2+-induced mitochondrial permeability transition but presence of bongkrekate-sensitive nucleotide exchange in C. crangon and P. serratus. [PDF]
Mitochondria from the embryos of brine shrimp (Artemia franciscana) do not undergo Ca(2+)-induced permeability transition in the presence of a profound Ca(2+) uptake capacity. Furthermore, this crustacean is the only organism known to exhibit bongkrekate-
