Identification and characterization of human UDP‐glucuronosyltransferases responsible for the in vitro glucuronidation of bergenin

Published: Sep 2, 2013

Author(s): Haojing Song, Jin Wang, Rui Zhang, Xiaoyan Liu, Guiyan Yuan, Chunmin Wei, Benjie Wang, Ruichen Guo

Journal: Biomedical Chromatography

ABSTRACT Glucuronidation plays critical role in the elimination of bergenin; however the metabolic mechanism of UDP‐glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) in the process remains to be investigated. In this study, the kinetics of bergenin glucuronidation by pooled human liver microsomes (HLMs) and 12 recombinat UGT isozymes were investigated. The glucuronidation of bergenin can be shown in HLMs with a Km value of 231.62 ± 14.08 µm and a...

Intolerability of cobalt salt as erythropoietic agent

Published: Aug 30, 2013

Author(s): Bastian Ebert, Wolfgang Jelkmann

Journal: Drug Testing and Analysis

Unfair athletes seek ways to stimulate erythropoiesis, because the mass of haemoglobin is a critical factor in aerobic sports. Here, the potential misuse of cobalt deserves special attention. Cobalt ions (Co2+) stabilize the hypoxia‐inducible transcription factors (HIFs) that increase the expression of the erythropoietin (Epo) gene. Co2+ is orally active, easy to obtain, and inexpensive. However, its intake can bear risks to health. To elaborate this...

Q‐ball imaging with PROPELLER EPI acquisition

Published: Aug 29, 2013

Author(s): Ming‐Chung Chou, Teng‐Yi Huang, Hsiao‐Wen Chung, Tsyh‐Jyi Hsieh, Hing‐Chiu Chang, Cheng‐Yu Chen

Journal: NMR in Biomedicine

Q‐ball imaging (QBI) is an imaging technique that is capable of resolving intravoxel fiber crossings; however, the signal readout based on echo‐planar imaging (EPI) introduces geometric distortions in the presence of susceptibility gradients. This study proposes an imaging technique that reduces susceptibility distortions in QBI by short‐axis PROPELLER EPI acquisition. Conventional QBI and PROPELLER QBI data were acquired from two 3T MR...

Author(s): Mamta Gupta, Poonam Rana, Richa Trivedi, B. S. Hemanth Kumar, Ahmad Raza Khan, Ravi Soni, R. K. S. Rathore, Subash Khushu

Journal: NMR in Biomedicine

Understanding early differential response of brain during whole body radiation or cranial radiation exposure is of significant importance for better injury management during accidental or intentional exposure to ionizing radiation. We investigated the early microstructural and metabolic profiles using in vivo diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) following whole body and cranial radiation exposure of 8 Gy...

Determination of the appropriate b value and number of gradient directions for high‐angular‐resolution diffusion‐weighted imaging

Published: Aug 29, 2013

Author(s): J.‐Donald Tournier, Fernando Calamante, Alan Connelly

Journal: NMR in Biomedicine

High‐angular‐resolution diffusion‐weighted imaging (HARDI) is one of the most common MRI acquisition schemes for use with higher order models of diffusion. However, the optimal b value and number of diffusion‐weighted (DW) directions for HARDI are still undetermined, primarily as a result of the large number of available reconstruction methods and corresponding parameters, making it impossible to identify a single criterion by which to...

2D Raman spectroscopy study of dolomite and cyanobacterial extracellular polymeric substances from Khor Al‐Adaid sabkha (Qatar)

Published: Aug 29, 2013

Author(s): Carlos Paulo, Maria Dittrich

Journal: Journal of Raman Spectroscopy

Dolomite precipitation, limited at low temperature, appears to be impacted by microbial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). The presence of dolomites has been reported in the extreme environments of Arabian Gulf sabkhas. Many of these sites are characterized by extensive growth of cyanobacterial mats that are recognized as key producers of EPS. However, no information has been gathered on the cyanobacterial EPS involvement in...
