Effect of beta-N-oxalylamino-L-alanine on cerebellar cGMP level in vivo.

1993

Beta-N-oxalylamino-L-alanine (BOAA), a non-protein amino acid present in the seeds of Lathyrus Sativus (LS), is one of several neuroactive glutamate analogs reported to stimulate excitatory receptors and, in high concentrations, cause neuronal degeneration. In the present study, the in vivo acute effects of synthetic BOAA and LS seed extract were investigated on rat cerebellar cyclic GMP following intraperitoneal (10-100 mg/kg) or oral (100 mg/kg) administration of subconvulsive doses of toxin. Furthermore, the BOAA content in LS seeds and in the cerebellum of injected rats was determined by high performance liquid chromatograph analysis. A dose- and time-dependent increase of cerebellar cy…

Kathepsin-Bestimmung im Serum bei lathyritischen und mit Prednison behandelten lathyritischen Ratten

Enzymatic Determination in Serum of Lathyritic and Prednisone-treated Lathyritic Rats

1966

WHILE a remarkably raised serum-level of transaminases and aldolase is found in dermatomyositis, such augmentation, as a rule, is not found in cases of severe muscular involvement of scleroderma and disseminated lupus erythematosus (acutus)1–3.

Grass Pea

2011

Grass pea (Lathyrus. sativus L.) is an annual legume crop with high protein content and remarkable resistance to extreme environmental conditions, including fl ooding, drought, salinity and low soil fertility, and a signifi cant degree of resistance to biotic stress agents. It is rightly considered one of the most promising sources of calories and protein for the vast and expanding populations of drought-prone and marginal areas of Asia and Africa and as an interesting alternative for cropping systems diversifi cation in marginal lands in Europe, Australia and America. It is a dual purpose crop with great agronomic potential as a grain and forage legume. Nevertheless, as a result of the lit…

Bestimmung der Myokinase und der Kreatin-Phosphokinase im Serum bei experimentellem Lathyrismus, bei Dermatomyositis und bei progressiver Sklerodermie

1965

Mittels einer Bestimmung der muskelspezifischen Fermente Kreatin-Phosphokinase (CPK) und Myokinase (MK) im Serum lathyritischer Ratten wird bei dieser experimentellen akuten Mesenchymschadigung die erhebliche stoffwechselmasige Beteiligung der Muskulatur enzymologisch erfast und dem histomorphologischen Befund in der Skelet-Muskulatur gegenubergestellt.
