Neuropeptidases and the metabolic inactivation of insect neuropeptides

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2009
Neuropeptidases play a key role in regulating neuropeptide signalling activity in the central nervous system of animals. They are oligopeptidases that are generally found on the surface of neuronal cells facing the synaptic and peri-synaptic space and therefore are ideally placed for the metabolic inactivation of neuropeptide transmitters/modulators ...

Metabolic inactivation of leukotrienes

Advances in Enzyme Regulation, 1989
The metabolic inactivation of the cysteinyl leukotrienes LTC4 and LTD4 and of the chemotactic LTB4 was studied in the rat in vivo and in hepatocyte suspensions, respectively. 1. Deactivation of LTC4 via LTD4 to LTE4 was a most active process in the blood circulation, catalyzed mainly by ectoenzymes located on the internal wall of blood vessels.

Metabolic inactivation of vitamin D is enhanced in primary hyperparathyroidism

Clinical Science, 1987
1. The elimination half-time of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in plasma was estimated after intravenous injection of the radioactively labelled metabolite in seven patients with primary hyperparathyroidism before and after excision of a parathyroid adenoma. 2.

Metabolic and phenotypic adaptations of diaphragm muscle fibers with inactivation

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1997
Zhan, Wen-Zhi, Hirofumi Miyata, Y. S. Prakash, and Gary C. Sieck. Metabolic and phenotypic adaptations of diaphragm muscle fibers with inactivation. J. Appl. Physiol. 82(4):1145–1153, 1997.—We hypothesized that metabolic adaptations to muscle inactivity are most pronounced when neurotrophic influence is disrupted.

Inactivation and Metabolism of Neuropeptides

Annual Review of Neuroscience, 1986
Over the past decade, neuropeptides, defined as peptides of known structure secreted by neurons, have received increasing attention as possible intercellular signals in both invertebrate and vertebrate nervous systems. (For a recent comprehensive treatise, see Krieger et al 1983.) Although the mechanisms of neuropeptide action are still mostly unknown,

Acrylamide in human diet, its metabolism, toxicity, inactivation and the associated European Union legal regulations in food industry

Critical reviews in food science and nutrition, 2020
Nowadays acrylamide is known not only as synthetic material used in industry, but also as carcinogenic, cyto- and genotoxic compound which forms during heat-induced process (due to Maillard reaction) mostly in foodstuff such as potato, bakery, plant ...
