Example Sentences:
(1) Although each of palate and limb is concurrently susceptible to epigenetic regulation, their differential intrinsic genomic capabilities appear to have been uncoupled.
(2) Rhesus monkey BAT mitochondria (BATM) possess an uncoupling protein that is characteristic of BAT as evidenced by the binding of [3H]GDP, the inhibition by GDP of the high Cl- permeability or rapid alpha-glycerol-3-phosphate oxidation.
(3) Thus, 4'-OH-4-CB acts as both an uncoupler and an inhibitor of oxidative phosphorylation.
(4) We suggest that radiation-induced specific chromosome 2 rearrangement associated with IL-1 beta deregulation may initiate murine leukemogenesis through the uncoupling of normal proliferative control mechanisms in multipotential hemopoietic cells.
(5) The entry of CH3NH3+ supported by glucose oxidation in an F1F0-ATPase-deficient mutant was blocked by uncoupler.
(6) We report here, for the first time, the primary structure of uncoupling protein as established by amino acid sequencing.
(7) The present experiment was conducted to determine if a single direct dopamine (DA) agonist, apomorphine (APO), pretreatment could produce a rapid uncoupling of the striatal DA D-2 receptor from its G-proteins.
(8) A model is proposed in which this region interacts with a catalytic core to maintain the I state, and in which phosphorylation serves to uncouple this interaction.
(9) It was strongly inhibited by the metabolic inhibitor antimycin A and to a lesser extend by the uncoupler carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone.
(10) It is concluded that the fatty acids "uncouple" the amino acid carrier proteins from the cytochrome-linked electron transport system (to which they may be coupled via protein interaction or via a cation gradient).
(11) It was concluded that LPS acted as an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation and that it produced effects similar to those observed with the classical uncoupler 2,4-dinitrophenol.
(12) These data indicate that the phenolic hydroxyl groups of xanthomegnin might contribute to its uncoupling action on the oxidative phosphorylation of mitochondria.
(13) The uncoupled enzyme, however, exhibited greater storage stability than the covalently linked enzyme at 25 degrees after 24 hrs and at 0 degrees after 21 days.
(14) In contrast, an uncoupler of mitochondrial respiration, sodium salicylate (375 mg per kg), increased the decarboxylation of alpha-ketoisocaproic acid (56.3% of the dose recovered as 14CO2 in 1 hr).
(15) Titration of glucose-depleted synaptosomes with pyruvate in the presence of either veratridine or uncoupler stimulates respiration in a Ca2+-independent manner.
(16) Stimulation of respiration, perhaps reflective of uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation, was produced by an ochratoxin A concentration of 1 mM.
(17) Sodium nitrite, a substance with unknown promoting activity, effectively uncoupled cells.
(18) These effects of ATP are abolished by oligomycin and uncoupling agents and may, therefore, be reflections of the coupling of the mitochondrial ATP synthetase to the respiratory chain at the level of cytochrome c oxidase, which is the basis of the mechanism of coupling respiration to ATP synthesis and respiratory control.
(19) In the control group, the uncoupled respiration rate is also higher, while the ascorbate+ +TMPD oxidation rate is lower than in the cold- and cold + T-activin-treated groups.
(20) Marker incubation of ultrathin cryosections obtained by cryo transverse sectioning of IgG-labeled semithick cryosections shows also that penetration of uncoupled antibodies into cytoplasm and nuclei of chicken erythrocytes is limited.
