Brassinosteroid regulates secondary metabolism in tomato towards enhanced tolerance to phenanthrene
We investigated the role of 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) in the amelioration of phenanthrene (PHE) stress in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Exposure to PHE (300 μM) significantly decreased shoot and root length (19 and 16 %, respectively), fresh mass (35 ...

Quantifying redox metabolism in the plant metabolic network [PDF]
The aim of this thesis was to develop and evaluate methods for quantifying redox metabolism in plants. Current methods suffer from a lack of: quantitative measurement; specificity between different redox carriers; and subcellular resolution.

Laminin matrix regulates beta-cell FGFR5 expression to enhance glucose-stimulated metabolism
We previously showed that pancreatic beta-cells plated on laminin matrix express reduced levels of FGFR1, a receptor linked to beta-cell metabolism and differentiation.

Enhanced drug metabolism in cigarette smokers. [PDF]
The effect of cigarette smoking on salivary antipyrine disappearance rate, and as an index of hepatic drug metabolism, was studied in 42 healthy subjects. Antipyrine half life was significantly shorter in smokers compared with non-smokers. To determine whether this difference was due solely to tobacco consumption eight subjects were restudied two ...
