Microvascular skin blood flow following the ingestion of 75 g glucose in healthy individuals.
2009
It is expected that microvascular blood flow might be affected by blood glucose, blood insulin and C-peptide levels. In our investigation skin microvascular blood flow (LDF) was measured using laser doppler fluxometry at skin temperatures of 37 degrees C and 44 degrees C during a 75 g oral glucose load (OGT) or water in ten healthy volunteers (6 male, 4 female, age: 28.1+/-4.0) who had fasted overnight. The transcutaneous oxygen tension (tcPO2) was measured using a transcutaneous oxygen electrode at a temperature of 44 degrees C. The microvascular response to acetylcholine was investigated before the start of the ingestion period and after 30 minutes. In addition, the capillary blood cell v…
Automated pre-column derivatization of amines in biological samples with dansyl chloride and with or without post-column chemiluminescence formation …
1999
On-line automation of two different liquid chromatographic procedures, a pre-column derivatization system and a pre- and post-column system, in order to generate chemiluminescence is reported. Dansyl chloride (Dns-Cl) was used as a pre-column reagent to form fluorophores and bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) oxalate (TCPO) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a post-column reagent to generate chemiluminescence. This procedure is based on the employment of a primary column packed with C18 material inserted in a multi-dimensional assembly for sample clean-up and derivatization with Dns-Cl. The dansyl derivatives formed are transferred and separated in a LiChrospher 100 RP18 analytical column (125 x 4 mm …
Off-line dansylation of amines using C18 solid-phase packings: study of the fluorescence and chemiluminescence detection by post-column derivatizatio…
1999
Abstract Dansylation of amines (primaries and secondaries) using C18 solid-phase supports is described. The time of analysis and the handing sample have been markedly improved with respect to those required for solution dansylation. The dansylated amine derivates were injected onto the liquid chromatography system and fluorescence detected. The sensitivity and selectivity is better than the other dansylation procedures described in the literature and also better than other derivatization reagents such 1,2-napthoquinone 4-sulfonate (NQS) or 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride (3,5-DNB). Dansyl compounds can also form chemiluminescent derivatives, therefore a post-column derivatization procedure with…
FI automatic method for the determination of copper(II) based on coproporphyrin I-Cu(II)/TCPO/H(2)O(2) chemiluminescence reaction for the screening o…
2004
Abstract In this paper, an automatic method for the screening of water samples containing Cu(II) was proposed, based on peryoxalate chemiluminescence reaction using coproporphyrin I as fluorophor compound to provide selectivity and a simple flow injection (FI) chemiluminescence detector (CLD). FI system conditions were chosen in order to distinguish samples over or under legislation limit established (50 μg l−1) with high reliability. The detection limit found was 9 μg l−1 and the linear dynamic range was 15–125 μg l−1 of Cu(II). Repeatibility and reproducibility studies gave good precision and accuracy with recovery near 100%. Under these conditions, the method resulted selective and only …
Microcirculatory Assessment of Arterial Below-Knee Stumps: Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Versus Transcutaneous Oxygen Tension—A Preliminary Study in Pro…
2017
International audience; Objective: To examine metrologic properties of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) versus transcutaneous oxygen tension (TcPO2) for micro-circulatory assessment of vascular transtibial stumps at the stabilized period of prosthesis fitting, as a preliminary step before exploring its ability to predict stump healing, considering the previously identified limits of TcPO2 (borderline area between 15 and 35mmHg).Design: Prospective single-center observational study.Setting: University-based rehabilitation center.Participants: Individuals with unilateral transtibial amputation for peripheral artery disease, at the definitive stage of prosthesis fitting, able to perform a 2-m…
Metabolism of 3-hydroxychrysene by rat liver microsomal preparations
1990
3-Hydroxychrysene, a metabolite of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) chrysene, was metabolised by rat liver microsomal preparations obtained from Arochlor 1254-pretreated rats. Eight major metabolites were isolated by high performance liquid chromatography and characterised by u.v. spectroscopy and a variety of mass spectrometric techniques. The metabolites were unambiguously identified as 9-hydroxy-trans-1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-dihydrochrysene and 9-hydroxy-r-1,t-2,t-3,c-4-tetrahydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrochrysene and tentatively identified as 3-hydroxy-trans-5,6-dihydroxy-5,6-dihydrochrysene (since chrysene is a symmetrical molecule the 3- and 9-positions are equivalent), 9-hydroxy-trans-…
Etude du rôle du récepteur nucléaire CAR, Constitutive Androstane Receptor, dans le métabolisme des lipides et la susceptibilité à l'athérosclérose
2011
The Constitutive Androstane Receptor (CAR) belongs to the subfamily of nuclear receptors NR1. Initially described as an orphan receptor, CAR is activated by a large number of exogenous molecules and acts as a xenosensor. The activation of CAR by these ligands stimulates transcription of phase I, II and III enzymes required for the detoxification and elimination of xenobiotics. Furthermore CAR is also involved in the metabolism of endogenous molecules such as bile acids, bilirubin or thyroid hormones. CAR has recently been the subject of numerous independent studies that have highlighted his involvement in major metabolic pathways including gluconeogenesis, lipogenesis and lipoprotein metabo…
