(1) The proposed assay should be useful for in vitro metabolic studies of 1,2-dihaloethanes and mustards and has potential application for similar studies of monohalogenated ethanes, ethanols, and ethenes.
(2) A total of nine chlorinated ethanes and ethenes were circulated over lithium hydroxide in a laboratory scale closed system simulator.
(3) The level of adducts from ethene, determined as N-(2-hydroxyethyl)valine, was also higher in mice from diet S than in animals fed diet C, when all treatment groups were considered.
(4) About equimolar concentrations of bleomycin and FeCl3 resulted in optimal ethene formation.
(5) Halogenated ethenes are oxidatively metabolized by cytochrome P-450 to intermediates which inactivate cytochrome P-450 by destroying heme and to epoxides which may react with cellular macromolecules or decompose to other products.
(6) Previous mixed-culture studies have demonstrated that complete dechlorination to ethene is possible, although the final dechlorination step from vinyl chloride to ethene is rate limiting, with significant levels of vinyl chloride typically persisting.
(7) The results demonstrate a raised level of hydroxyethylation of N-terminal valine of Hb of smokers that is quantitatively compatible with ethene in the smoke being the source.
(8) Lipid peroxidation and metabolism of intestinal bacteria, giving rise to ethene, precursor of ethylene oxide, are thus indicated to be sources of observed background hydroxyethylations.
(9) The bioconversions with the three most promising ethene-utilizers (M26, M90C, M93A) were scaled-up to yield essentially optically pure (enantiomeric excess = 93%) S-(+)-phenyl glycidyl ether.
(10) This figure is compatible with a metabolic conversion of 3% (1-10%) of the inhaled ethene to ethylene oxide.
(11) KMBA was converted to ethene by dithranol under aerobic conditions, whereas ethene formation was negligible in the absence of oxygen.
(12) Ethene formation depended on oxygen, NADPH, FeCl3 and the enzyme.
(13) The limitations of Fluosol DA led to fluorocarbons under investigation such as F dimethyl bicyclononanes, F methyladamantane, bis (F-butyl) ethene or F-octylbromide.
(14) Eighteen newly isolated ethene- and propene-utilizing bacteria were screened for the ability to produce phenyl glycidyl ether, a common precursor for the synthesis of beta blockers, from phenyl allyl ether.
(15) O2- - and .OH-scavengers such as rutin, catechin, dimethyl sulfoxide, mannitol, ethanol, sodium salicylate and propyl gallate as well as catalase and superoxide dismutase inhibited ethene formation.
(16) Because the singlet oxygen (1O2) sensitizer, rose bengale, showed enlarged production of ethene when irradiated in the presence of KMBA, experiments were performed in the dark in order to avoid 1O2 production by dithranol.
(17) Efforts to measure adducts originating from ethene in environmental tobacco smoke and urban air show, however, that the resolving power of the methods used for identifying unknown risk factors must be increased.
(18) The detection limit was one pmol ethene or ethane per five mL air sample; the within-run precision (CV) of analysis was 2.1 percent at an ethane concentration of 16 pmol per five mL sample.
(19) For unknown reasons, uninduced mice varied strongly in the extent to which they converted ethene to epoxide.
(20) A sixth chlorinated ethene, tetrachloroethylene, was not degraded by the methane-utilizing culture under these conditions.
Ethine

(n.) Acetylene.
Example Sentences:
(1) Tissues were homogenized and incubated in vitro with labeled progesterone and 2 different antiovulatories, lynestrenol (17alpha-ethin yl-17beta-hydroxy-estr-4-one) and MK 665 (17alpha-chloroethinyl-19-nor-4 ,9(10)-androstadiene-17beta-ol-3-one).
