AI Article Synopsis
- The surgery for gastric or duodenal ulcers impacts the absorption of amino acids due to changes in the structure and function of the stomach, pancreas, and intestines.
- Researchers utilized a stable isotope labeled amino acid (15N-glycine) to compare absorption rates between patients who underwent specific gastric surgeries and healthy individuals.
- Results indicated that patients who had surgery exhibited a faster and more intense absorption of the amino acid compared to the control group.
Article Abstract
After surgery for gastric or duodenal ulcer the resorption of amino acids is changed due to alteration of morphology and function of stomach, bile system, pancreas and small bowel. We used the stable isotope labelled amino acid 15N-glycine in patients after partial gastrectomy (B II), truncal vagotomy with pylorplasty as well as antrectomy and in healthy persons. It could be shown that in contrast to the control group the absorption of the amino acid in the surgical group took place more rapid and more intensive.

A Model of Zymogen Factor XII: Insights into Protease Activation.
Blood Adv

Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee, United States.
In plasma, the zymogens factor XII (FXII) and prekallikrein reciprocally convert each other to the proteases FXIIa and plasma kallikrein (PKa). PKa cleaves high-molecular-weight kininogen (HK) to release bradykinin, which contributes to regulation of blood vessel tone and permeability. Plasma FXII is normally in a "closed" conformation that limits activation by PKa.

Article Synopsis
- RbpA is a critical protein for Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth, impacting transcription and antibiotic response, but its regulatory mechanisms are not fully understood.
- Significant structural changes in RNA polymerase occur when it interacts with RbpA, revealing important amino acids for transcription regulation and dynamic behavior of the complex.
- The study identifies potential ligands for RbpA's interaction site, laying the groundwork for future research on developing inhibitors that target RbpA's regulatory role in transcription.
An untargeted metabolomic analysis of acute AFB1 treatment in liver, breast, and lung cells.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a class 1 carcinogen and mycotoxin known to contribute to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), growth impairment, altered immune system modulation, and malnutrition. AFB1 is synthesized by Aspergillus flavus and is known to widely contaminate foodstuffs, particularly maize, wheat, and groundnuts. The mechanism in which AFB1 causes genetic mutations has been well studied, however its metabolomic effects remained largely unknown.

College of life Sciences, Sichuan Normal University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
Poly-gamma-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) is mainly synthesized by glutamate-dependent strains in the manufacturing industry. Therefore, understanding glutamate-dependent mechanisms is imperative. In this study, we first systematically analyzed the response of Bacillus subtilis SCP017-03 to glutamate addition by comparing transcriptomics and proteomics.

Hand-rearing of marine mammals is an essential technique for the husbandry of orphans in captivity or the wild, especially endangered cetacean species. The purpose of the present study was to establish a method for successful hand-rearing and evaluate the nutritional state of neonatal finless porpoises. Two neonate finless porpoises maternally neglected at 5 days of age (Day 5) (neonate A, animal A) and Day 4 (neonate B, animal B) were hand reared.
