The sixth and seventh components of complement were found to be polymorphic and tightly linked in the laboratory opossum (Monodelphis domestica), as they are in eutherian mammals. In addition, strong evidence for linkage of the C6-C7 haplotype to the gene for glutamic pyruvate transaminase (GPT) was obtained for females but not for males. This result, combined with previous observations, established as a generality that recombination is severely reduced in females of this species by comparison with males. It also establishes synteny of C6-C7 and GPT in a marsupial species, as exists in mice. Because these loci are not syntenic in humans, the results imply that this synteny is ancestral to the separation of marsupials and eutherians and that it was broken relatively recently in the mammalian lineage leading to human beings. The newly described C6 and C7 polymorphisms provide additional power for developing a linkage map for M. domestica and for localizing genes that confer susceptibility to diseases for which this species is used as a model.

The tumorigenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC) often follows the normal-adenoma-carcinoma (N-A-C) sequence. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying colorectal adenoma carcinogenesis remain largely unknown. Here, we analyzed transcriptomic profile changes in normal, advanced adenoma, and carcinoma tissues from patients with CRC, revealing that glutamic-pyruvic transaminase 1 () in colorectal tissues was down-regulated during the N-A-C process and correlated with poor CRC prognosis.

The control of conditional pathogenic bacteria and inhibition of their virulence factors (VFs) in drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs) is vital for drinking water safety. This study adopted two groups of DWDSs to investigate how ammonia nitrogen affects bacterial VFs and conditional pathogenic bacterial growth in biofilms. Our results indicated that Acidimicrobium (95,916.

Brain metabolism across anatomic regions and cellular compartments plays an integral role in many aspects of neuronal function. Changes in key metabolic pathway fluxes, including oxidative and reductive energy metabolism, have been implicated in a wide range of brain diseases. Given the complex nature of the brain and the need for understanding compartmentalized metabolism noninvasively in vivo, new tools are required.

Article Synopsis
- * A study was conducted using mass spectrometry to analyze the differences in metabolome (metabolism) and proteome (proteins) between healthy left and right ventricles, revealing significant metabolic changes.
- * In advanced heart conditions like dilated and ischemic cardiomyopathy, the distinct metabolic pathways between the ventricles become less pronounced, but the left ventricle shows more adverse changes related to heart failure.
