Article Synopsis
- DAS-40278-9 maize, developed by Dow AgroSciences, is genetically engineered to tolerate phenoxy auxin herbicides like 2,4-D.
- A metabolism study using C-radiolabeled 2,4-D revealed that the herbicide is metabolized to 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and conjugated with glucose.
- Field studies in the U.S. and Canada found minimal residues of 2,4-D and 2,4-DCP in mature grain, forage, and stover, with levels mostly undetectable or very low.
Cholecystokinin (CCK) and the different molecular forms of CCK are well established as biomarkers for satiety but accurate analysis has been limited by the multiple naturally occurring forms and extensive similarities to gastrin. Changes in levels of one form, CCK-8, a naturally occurring eight amino acid peptide of CCK, have been correlated with satiety responses. Endogenous CCK-8 has not been well characterized in Syrian Golden hamsters, an important model in the study of fat uptake and digestion.
