What's the difference between dagging and wagging?

Dagging


Definition:

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In general, optimal DAGAT activity in vitro was observed when long-chain unsaturated acyl-CoAs and diacylglycerols (DAGs) containing long acyl chains were used as substrates for in vitro TAG synthesis (although 1,2-didecanoin was also very effective).

  • (4) The distribution of PKC returned to control values by 24 h. High glucose did not stimulate phosphoinositide hydrolysis, as evidenced by the absence of an increase in the water-soluble inositol phosphates, indicating that DAG was not generated through the action of a phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C.

  • (6) Concomitantly, an increase of inositol phosphates and diacylglycerol (DAG) production was observed.
  • (7) The accumulation of [14C]C20:4-DAG (lower in ET than in saline-infused rats) was paralleled by a decrease in phosphatidylinositol (PI) labelling, whereas phosphatidic acid showed a transient increase by 5 min in saline- but not in ET-infused rats.
  • (8) To determine the role of the DAG produced upon bombesin stimulation, we examined the effects of another activator of protein kinase C, the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA).
  • (9) It is concluded that carbachol increases [Ca2+]i by facilitating Ca2+ entry through L-type Ca2+ channels via a 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG)-protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent pathway while quisqualate mobilizes Ca2+ from inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-sensitive stores.
  • (10) In order to characterize the properties of the glyceroglycolipid membranes, ESR spectroscopic studies were carried out with an acyl spin-labeled galactosyl ceramide (SL-GC) or a headgroup spin-labeled phospholipid (SL-6-DPPA) in 1,2-dipalmitoyl[beta-cellobiosyl-(1'---3)]glycerol (Cel-DAG) liposomal membranes.
  • (11) The E. coli dgkA locus which contains the coding sequences for DAG kinase was subcloned into an eukaryotic expression vector, pMT2.
  • (12) The mean residence time for pharmacologically active molecules in the body was six times shorter for DAG (1.9 hr) than for DBD (11.4 hr).
  • (13) These data suggest that PKC is a mediator in the generation of DAG.
  • (14) These results suggest that DAG accumulation is involved in the potentiating effect of A23187 on CCh-stimulated amylase secretion.
  • (15) It is concluded that insulin-dependent PDH activation, PIG hydrolysis, and IG and DAG generation are mediated by the wild-type but not by the mutated insulin receptor of Val996.
  • (16) Since most alloantibodies detected only by 2SP-IAT or LISS-DAG were of doubtful clinical significance, and these techniques produced a high number of unwanted positive reactivities, we conclude that 2SP-IAT and LISS-DAG are not appropriate for the pretransfusion screening for unexpected antibodies.
  • (17) 261, 8597-8600), lipase from Rhizopus arrhizus selectively degraded the 1-acyl-containing species (DAG), but the ether lipid (EAG) was resistant and was identified and quantified after thin layer chromatography separation.
  • (18) 1-Oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol, a synthetic DAG analog, stimulated endothelial cell DNA synthesis in a concentration-dependent manner.
  • (19) Whereas DPG and DS are stable at physiological pH, DAG is unstable, undergoing hydrolysis (regeneration of DF) and rearrangement (intramolecular acyl migration to the 2-, 3- and 4-O-acyl-positional isomers).
  • (20) Addition of PRL to hepatocyte cultures significantly increased [3H]-glycerol incorporation into DAG within 5 minutes which was followed by a loss of cytosolic PKC activity by 10 minutes.

Wagging


Definition:

  • (p. pr. & vb. n.) of Wag

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In cell-free protein-synthesizing systems containing an S30 extract from liver and brain cortex tissues of 22-day-old fetuses and of male WAG rats (1-900 days old), the minimal rate of protein synthesis was observed in the fetuses, while the maximal one - in 7-day-old animals.

  • (7) The most active were oak bark, sage and St. John's wort grass WAG extracts, horse radish root and leaf AG extracts, celandine grass WA extract; bur marigold and yarrow grass WA extracts were active towards S. aureus.
  • (8) It is the media that has chosen to describe them as Wags and define them by their marital status.
  • (9) (There was the ­notorious Manchester United Christmas party in 2007, when the Wags were apparently told to stay at home, 100 handpicked women were brought in to party with the players, and the night ended with a rape allegation that was later dropped.)
  • (10) In her speech, Morgan conceded: “I’m a firm believer that, alongside ensuring the rigour of our assessments, we must never let the assessment tail wag the dog of what is taught in school.” Glenys Stacey, Ofqual’s chief regulator, has argued that practical work would not be ignored.
  • (11) Tempting though it is to lecture President Hu on human rights (and it is right to keep the spotlight on the persecution of the pro‑democracy group Charter 08 and the imprisonment of Nobel peace prize winner Liu Xiaobo), the wagging finger rarely works in diplomacy.
  • (12) – or, as it's known among production wags, The Eggs Factor .
  • (13) Using rats of the inbred BN and WAG strain, we tested the hypothesis that chronic dietary choline supplementation would especially affect the timing behavior of BN rats because of their lower cholinergic activity and their poor performance in aversively motivated learning and memory tasks.
