Monolayers of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine at the oil-water interface
1995
Abstract Monolayers of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine at the interfaces waterbicylohexyl, waterdodecane and waterhexadecane were studied by fluorescence microscopy and thermodynamic measurements. The experiments show that the oil also partitions in the liquid condensed (LC) monolayer phase with concentration depending on the type of oil and the lateral pressure. In contrast to monolayers of dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine the larger molecular area per head group enables oil partitioning in the LC phase even if there is a mismatch between the aliphatic tails of liquid and alkane.
Activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1 by UV irradiation is inhibited by wortmannin without affecting c-iun expression.
1999
Activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs)/stress-activated protein kinases is an early response of cells upon exposure to DNA-damaging agents. JNK-mediated phosphorylation of c-Jun is currently understood to stimulate the transactivating potency of AP-1 (e.g., c-Jun/c-Fos; c-Jun/ATF-2), thereby increasing the expression of AP-1 target genes. Here we show that stimulation of JNK1 activity is not a general early response of cells exposed to genotoxic agents. Treatment of NIH 3T3 cells with UV light (UV-C) as well as with methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) caused activation of JNK1 and an increase in c-Jun protein and AP-1 binding activity, whereas antineoplastic drugs such as mafosfamide, mito…
Alkylation at the active site of the D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (BDH), a membrane phospholipid-dependent enzyme, by 3-chloroacetyl pyridine ad…
1997
The structure of the rat liver's D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (BDH) active site has been investigated using an affinity alkylating reagent, the 3-chloroacetyl pyridine adenine dinucleotide (3-CAPAD). This NAD+ analogue reagent strongly inactivates the enzyme following a concentration- and time-dependent process with a stoichiometry of approximately 1. The reagent reacts at the coenzyme binding site as revealed by the efficient protection by NADH. The effect of 3-CAPAD is stronger with the enzyme into its natural membrane environment than with the lipid-free purified apoBDH or with the reconstituted apoBDH-mitochondrial phospholipid complex. The pH-dependent effect on the inactivation p…

Zelta un naudas mītiskie un sociālpsiholoģiskie aspekti A. Upīša romānos līdz 1914. gadam
2015
Bakalaura darba „Zelta un naudas mītiskie un sociālpsiholoģiskie aspekti A. Upīša romānos līdz 1914. gadam” izpētes objekts ir zelta un naudas ietekmju funkcionēšanas veidi romānu — „Jauni avoti”, „Sieviete”, „Zīda tīklā” un „Zelts” varoņu apziņā. Pētījumā iezīmēta naudas/zelta motīva aktualitāte literārajos darbos gan Eiropas, gan latviešu literatūrā līdz 20. gs. Ar zelta tēlu A. Upīts tiecas atklāt tā negatīvās izpausmes sociālajā vidē, uzsverot to neizbēgamību kapitālistiskajā sabiedrībā. Darbā tiek akcentēts, ka zeltam tāpat kā latviešu folklorā, arī romānos tiek piešķirta sakrāla vērtība, turklāt bagātība kapitālistiskajā sabiedrībā tiek attēlota kā augstākā sasniedzamā pakāpe.

Mitochondrial DNA content decreases during in vitro human embryo development: insights into mitochondrial DNA variation in preimplantation embryos do…
2020
Objective To assess the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) load and variation in human oocytes and during preimplantation embryo development using specimens donated for research. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting Not applicable. Patients A total of 50 in vitro fertilization patients and 11 oocyte donors whose specimens were obtained between July 2017 and July 2018. Interventions None. Main Outcome Measures All specimens were separately collected. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed with SurePlex DNA Amplification System (Illumina). Primers for the adenosine triphosphate 8 mitochondrial gene and the β-actin were used. Data were statistically analyzed by analysis of variance wi…
Chromosomes of the Parasitic Isopod Anilocra Physodes
1996
AbstractCounts of mitotic chromosomes have allowed to determine 2n = 12 as the modal diploid number of Anilocra physodes. Application of the C-banding technique reveals that two hetero-chromatic blocks bordering the centromeric region occur in each chromosome. This supports the notion that the actual low chromosome number of A. physodes may have been derived through a process of Robertsonian fusion.
New insight into the systematic position of the endemic Madagascan genus Amberiana (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Dinidoridae) using 12S rDNA sequences
2015
The systematic position of the endemic Madagascan genus Amberiana Dist. İs studied using DNA sequences (the mitochondrial 12S rDNA subunit) for the first time. The phylogenetic relationships within the superfamily Pentatomoidea were computed using neighbor-joining, maximum parsimony, minimum evolution, and maximum likelihood methods, as well as Bayesian estimation. All results based on the mtDNA analyses stand in contrast with previous morphological data. The mtDNA analysis showed close relationships of the genus Amberiana to the genus Sehirus (Cydnidae: Sehirinae) and to species of the family Parastrachiidae, whereas the morphology indicated that the genus was a typical representative of t…

Detection of mitochondrial electron chain carrier redox status by transhepatic light intensity during rat liver reperfusion.
2003
The aim of the study was to investigate mitochondrial electron transfer during rat liver reperfusion after cold storage and hypothermic machine perfusion. Livers from male Brown Norway rats were preserved (UW) for 10h either by cold storage (CS) or by hypothermic oxygenated perfusion extracorporal (HOPE). Transhepatic photometric analysis allowed determination of the redox status of mitochondrial cytochromes during preservation, rewarming and reperfusion. Mitochondrial electron chain carriers were inhibited at different sites with rotenone and cyanide in some experiments. reversed transcriptional polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed after reperfusion concerning transcription of …
