  • (14) A simple method for distinction between RNA- and DNA-containing structures in aldehyde- and osmiumtextroxide-fixed electron microscopic autoradiographs (or ordinary thin sections) is described: the developer and the acetic acid used for processing autoradiographs extract selectively uranium acetate from DNA containing-structures which, after staining with lead citrate, leads to a characteristically 'bleached' appearance of the DNA.
  • (15) In the degradation reaction, formation of the symmetrically substituted citrate ester of codeine, 1, was found to predominate.
  • (16) Investigation identified six additional patients who had received intravenous fluid contaminated by P pickettii but did not become ill. All nine patients had had surgery, and each of these patients but only nine of 19 operated-on control patients had received intravenous fentanyl citrate in the operating room; the mean dose given to the nine case patients was far greater than that given to control patients.
  • (17) When whole blood preparations were used, more marked changes in both RBCs and platelets were seen in samples collected in EDTA compared with citrated samples.
  • (18) The active-site aspartic acid residue, Asp-362, of Escherichia coli citrate synthase was changed by site-directed mutagenesis to Glu-362, Asn-362 or Gly-362.
  • (19) The oxidative enzymes of the pentose phosphate pathway, ATP-citrate lyase, 'malic' enzyme and fatty acid synthetase also decrease markedly.
  • (20) There was a high correlation between the percentage of type I fibers and the citrate synthase activity within the vastus lateralis (r = .760) and deltoid (r = .610) (P less than 0.05) but not the gastrocnemius (r = .200).

Nitrate


Definition:

  • (n.) A salt of nitric acid.

Example Sentences:

  • (3) The narX gene product may be involved in sensing nitrate and phosphorylating NARL.
  • (4) A new long-acting nitrate, Isomak R (forte), has been shown to be an effective antianginal drug; it increases physical stress tolerance, prevents attacks of angina of effort or angina at rest, significantly decreases pulmonary arterial occlusion pressure, peripheral arterial pressure and total peripheral resistance.
  • (5) The calculated daily intake of NO3- is significantly increased by drinking water nitrate content.
  • (6) Pharmacologic modulations of ATECD by isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) + 2-isosorbide mononitrate (2-ISMN) + 5-isosorbide mononitrate (5-ISMN) were investigated under experimental conditions reflecting either an acute nitrate effect (platelet + control ECs + drug + ADP) or a chronic effect (platelet + 5-day nitrate-treated ECs + ADP).
