(3) Furthermore, several additional characteristics of LTB4 hydroxylases indicate that these isozymes of P-450 may be different from those which catalyze similar reactions on medium-chain fatty acids, such as laurate and prostaglandins.
(4) A variety of exogenously added lipids could activate the latent enzyme, among which linoleate, oleate, laurate, linolenate, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylglycerol proved to be the effective activators of the latent phenoloxidase.
(5) Potencies for the induction of peroxisomal fatty acyl-CoA oxidase (FACO) and microsomal laurate hydroxylase (LH) were determined for clofibric acid (CPIB), ciprofibrate (Cipro) and gemfibrozil (Gem) in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes based on complete concentration-response analysis and determination of theoretical maximum inductive responses for Cipro.
(6) The intermediate chain-lenght ester, p-acetamidophenyl decanoate, p-acetamidophenyl laurate, and p-acetamidophenyl myristate, were hydrolyzed at intermedediate time periods extending over 12 hr, approaching completion at 97.5, 87.5, and 80.5%, respectively, when 18 Wilson units of lipase was used in each milliliter of hydrolysis mixture.
(7) In each group, retinyl palmitate constituted 80-85% of the total retinyl esters, followed by stearate (9-13%), laurate, palmitoleate, myristate, linoleate and pentadecanoate making up 3-10%.
(8) The effect of Lipo PGE1 (prostaglandin E1 incorporated in lipid microspheres) on laurate-induced peripheral arterial occlusive disease in rats was evaluated and compared with that of other related compounds.
(9) The reaction between Fremy's salt and alpha-tocopherol (VE), ascorbic acid (VC) and its lipophilic derivatives ascorbyl-6-caprylate (VC-8), 6-laurate (VC-12) and 6-palmitate (VC-16) were studied by stopped-flow ESR spectroscopy in cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles, as a model reaction of these antioxidants with alkyl peroxy radicals in biological systems.
(10) Numerical analysis of multiple binding of two ligands to one carrier has been accomplished, using the principle of several sets of acceptable binding constants, with bilirubin-laurate-albumin as an example.
(11) Laurate, aminopyrine, and benzphetamine undergo hydroxylation in the presence of chemically reduced cytochrome P-450 and molecular oxygen.
(12) Evidence for the enzymatic acylation of (KDO)2-IVA is provided by (a) conversion of [4'-32P](KDO)2-IVA to more rapidly migrating products in the presence of the appropriate acyl-ACP, (b) incorporation of [1-14C]laurate or [1-14C]myristate into these metabolites in the presence of (KDO)2-IVA, (c) fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry, and (d) 1H NMR spectroscopy.
(13) Aminopyrine N-demethylation was selectively inhibited by in vitro addition of milrinone but not amrinone, and laurate hydroxylation was inhibited by both drugs.
(14) Spectra of albumin complexes with the 12-carbon saturated fatty acid, lauric acid, had several narrow laurate carboxyl peaks at 35 degrees C, indicating longer lifetimes (tau much greater than 66 msec) in the different binding sites.
(15) The effects of taurocholate, caprylate, and EDTA-2Na for increasing colonic pore sizes and the degree of inulin permeation were less than those of caprate, laurate, or mixed micelles.
(16) Similar findings were also obtained for laurate hydroxylase activity in kidney and liver microsomes.
(17) Caprate, laurate, and mixed micelles at 0.25% caused this radius to increase significantly, thus making it possible for inulin to permeate the everted sac from the mucosal to the serosal side.
(18) The binding model which best fitted the laurate uptake data consisted of two classes of erythrocyte binding sites.
(19) We report here a novel modification at the N terminus of the alpha-subunit of the photoreceptor G protein transducin, T alpha, with heterogeneous fatty acids composed of laurate (C12:0), unsaturated C14:2 and C14:1 fatty acids, and a small amount (approximately 5%) of myristate.
(20) This result is in agreement with the increase of laurate hydroxylase activity after treatment by clofibrate.

Definition:
(n.) A rare sulphide of osmium and ruthenium found with platinum in Borneo and Oregon.
Example Sentences:
(1) Some 21 sovereign monarchs, and six representatives, made up the largest such gathering of foreign royals since Queen Victoria's golden jubilee celebrations, captured in a painting by Laurits Tuxen.
