Type II T4 5'-deiodinase (5'-D) activity was studied in pineal gland, frontal cortex, and anterior pituitary of male rats. Enzymatic activity was determined by the release of 125I using [3',5'-125I]T4 as substrate. Daytime levels of 5'-D activity were maximal for anterior pituitary (346.2 +/- 142.5 fmol 125I released/mg protein.h), followed by pineal gland (61.5 +/- 8.7 fmol 125I released/mg protein.h) and frontal cortex (3.1 +/- 0.5 fmol 125I released/mg protein.h). Twenty-four-hour fluctuations of 5'-D activity were apparent in the pineal gland and cortex. For pineal, peak 5'-D activity (43.4 +/- 11.4 fmol 125I released/gland.h) occurred at 0100 h, with values at this time being 8-fold greater than basal daytime levels. Superior cervical ganglionectomy (SCGX) or exposure to continuous light (LL) completely abolished the nocturnal rise of 5'-D activity. Treatment with iopanoic acid also inhibited 5'-D activity in pineal (32.1 +/- 3.5 vs. 18.8 +/- 1.7 fmol 125I released/gland.h) without influencing either the N-acetyltransferase activity or the melatonin content. In cortex, peak 5'-D activity occurred at 0500 h (5.3 +/- 0.4 fmol 125I released/mg protein.h), with values at this time being 1.5-fold greater than basal daytime levels. SCGX moderately depressed enzymatic activity, while LL exposure strikingly enhanced the nocturnal increase (11.7 +/- 1.1 vs. 19.3 +/- 2.4 fmol 125I released/mg protein.h at 0300 h). 5'-D activity exhibited no 24-h fluctuation in the anterior pituitary gland, and neither SCGX nor LL exposure affected enzyme levels in this tissue. Our data demonstrate the existence of a 24-h rhythm of type II T4 5'-D activity in pineal gland and cortex, with peak levels occurring at night; in pineal, the sympathetic neural input is indispensable for the rhythm, since SCGX prevented it. In cortex, the apparent paradoxical effect of LL and SCGX on 5'-D activity indicates that other mechanisms are involved in its regulation.

A thiazolo-pyrimidinone derivative library was developed through a facile solid-phase synthesis method. For the reaction, the thiazolo[4,5-]pyrimidin-7(6)-one structure was synthesized through efficient Thorpe-Ziegler and cyclization reactions. The thiazolo[4,5-]pyrimidin-7(6)-one derivative library with a diversity of three had a total of four synthesis steps and 57 compounds.

The aim of this study was to investigate the possible effects of phosphorylation and ubiquitination on the degradation of myofibrillar proteins in mutton with different tenderness. The muscles were chosen and divided into tender and tough groups ( = 9), and then stored at 4 °C for 1 h, 12 h, 1 d, 3 d, and 5 d postmortem. Shear force, pH, myofibril fragmentation index, AMPK activity, E3 ubiquitin ligase abundance, protein phosphorylation, and the ubiquitination levels of muscle samples were measured.

Experimental objectives were to create a chronic inflammatory model to evaluate the effects of persistent immune activation on metabolism, inflammation, and productivity in lactating dairy cows. Twelve lactating Holstein cows (631 ± 16 kg BW; 124 ± 15 DIM) were enrolled in a study with 2 experimental periods (P); during P1 (5 d), cows were fed ad libitum and baseline data were obtained. At the initiation of P2 (7 d), cows were assigned to 1 of 2 treatments: 1) saline-infused and pair-fed (PF; 5 mL intravenously (IV) sterile saline on d 1, 3, and 5; n = 6) or 2) lipopolysaccharide infused and ad libitum-fed (LPS; 0.

Objective To investigate the effects and molecular mechanism of Homer protein homolog 1a (Homer 1a) overexpression on nerve injury in mice with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods Sixty male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into five groups: sham group, TBI group, empty lentivirus (Lv-NC) group, Homer 1a overexpression lentivirus (Lv-Homer 1a) group and Lv-Homer 1a + 740 Y-P group, with 12 mice in each group. The lentivirus was orthotopic injected into the cerebral cortex of mice 5 d before modeling, while 740 Y-P was injected intraperitoneally 1 d before modeling.

The preparation of new phosphor with outstanding luminescent properties for white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) is consistently a challenging. Here in the present study, A novel white-emitting chloropatite phosphor Ca(PO)Cl:Eu was synthesized via the pechini sol gel synthesis with citric acid and polyethylene glycol (PEG) acid as a fuel at 850 °C systematically investigating the impact of doping concentration and synthesis temperature on both photoluminescence properties and crystal phase. The structural characteristics and crystalline nature of the prepared sample were investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra.
