Action of metyrapone on the redox state of free nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide and on oxygen consumption of perfused rat livers and isolated mitoc…

1971

Metyrapone [2-methyl-1,2-bis-(3-pyridyl)-1-propanone] in a concentration of 5 mM increased the lactate/pyruvate ratio and theΒ-hydroxybutyrate/ acetoacetate ratio in the perfusion fluid of the isolated rat liver by a factor of 6 indicating a considerable shift in the ratio of free [NAD]/[NADH] in both the cytoplasmic and the mitochondrial compartment. Oxygen uptake of the isolated liver was decreased to about one half. The onset of the inhibitory effect on the respiration of the isolated organ was immediate. The inhibition lasted for at least 1 h.

Measurement of thett¯production cross section inpp¯collisions ats=1.96  TeVusing soft electronb-tagging

2010

The authors present a measurement of the t{bar t} production cross section using events with one charged lepton and jets from p{bar p} collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. A b-tagging algorithm based on the probability of displaced tracks coming from the event interaction vertex is applied to identify b quarks from top decay. Using 318 pb{sup -1} of data collected with the CDF II detector, they measure the t{bar t} production cross section in events with at least one restrictive (tight) b-tagged jet and obtain 8.9{sub -1.0}{sup +1.0}(stat.){sub -1.0}{sup +1.1}(syst.) pb. The cross section value assumes a top quark mass of m{sub t} is presented in the paper. This result is cons…
