We compared the 14C-ethanol technique and 133Xe-clearance for adipose tissue blood flow measurements in young healthy subjects before and after exercise on an ergometer bicycle. The results showed a decrease in outflow/inflow ratio of 14C-ethanol during the basal situation before the exercise, indicating an increased blood flow. However, there was a great range of values, and no correlation between the 14C-ethanol technique and 133Xe-clearance was found. Our data indicate that the 14C-ethanol technique can not be recommended in its current form.

Background: Phospholipase D (PLD) belongs to a lipolytic enzyme subclass which catalyzes the hydrolysis and transesterification of glycerophospholipids at the terminal phosphodiester bond.
Results: In this work, we have studied the substrate specificity of PLDs from germinating sunflower seeds and cultured-soybean cells, using their capacity of transphosphatidylation. In the presence of a nucleophilic acceptor, such as [¹⁴C]ethanol, PLD catalyzes the production of phosphatidyl-[¹⁴C]-ethanol.

We developed a procedure to culture microorganisms below freezing point on solid media (cellulose powder or plastic film) with ethanol as the sole carbon source without using artificial antifreezes. Enrichment from soil and permafrost obtained on such frozen solid media contained mainly fungi, and further purification resulted in isolation of basidiomycetous yeasts of the genera Mrakia and Leucosporidium as well as ascomycetous fungi of the genus Geomyces. Contrary to solid frozen media, the enrichment of liquid nutrient solutions at 0 degrees C or supercooled solutions stabilized by glycerol at -1 to -5 degrees C led to the isolation of bacteria representing the genera Polaromonas, Pseudomonas and Arthrobacter.

Theoretical models for the description of microdialysis outflow:inflow (O/I) ratio for 3H2O and [14C]ethanol were developed, taking into account the nutritive fraction of total blood flow in muscle. The models yielded an approximately exponential decay expression for the O/I ratio, dependent on the physical dimensions of a linear probe (length and radius), the flow rate through the probe, muscle blood flow (including the nutritive fraction) and the diffusion coefficients for the tracer in the probe and muscle. The models compared favourably with experimental data from the constant-flow perfused rat hindlimb.
