High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with an on-line flow-through radioactivity detector was used to monitor the metabolism of cytokinins ([3H]6-benzylaminopurine and [3H]6-benzylaminopurine riboside) after their incorporation into wheat seedlings. The production and conversion of individual metabolites was assayed within a short time interval (0.5-3 h). Extraction recoveries from plant tissue proved to be 85%. The uptake of both cytokinins was very rapid and differences in their metabolism were already perceptible after 30 min. The individual metabolites were identified as adenine (Ade), adenosine (Ado), benzyladenine-9-glucoside (BA-9G), 6-benzyladenine (BA) and benzyladenosine (BAR). The method is very fast, sensitive and very useful for metabolic studies. The detection limit was 40 pg (220 Bq) for BA at the level of 2 ng ml-1.

This study explores the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D/calcium/alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels and kidney stone development via cross-sectional and Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses. We used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013 to 2018 to explore the associations of 25(OH)D metabolite, calcium, and ALP levels with kidney stone development, LDSC analysis to determine the associations between their genetically predicted levels and kidney stone development, and MR analysis to determine the causality of those relationship via genome-wide association studies (GWASs). The cross-sectional study revealed a relationship between ALP levels and kidney stone development (Model 1: OR = 1.

The correlation between cathepsins and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is well-established, but the causative link between them remains uncertain. This study aimed to explore the causal role of circulating metabolites mediating cathepsins in PAH using Mendelian randomization (MR). A 2-sample 2-step MR method was used to identify causal relationship between cathepsins and PAH; causal relationship between circulating metabolites and PAH; and mediated effects of these circulating metabolites.

Three endophytic strains, Phomopsis sp., Fusarium proliferatum, and Tinctoporellus epimiltinus, isolated from various plants in the rainforest of the Philippines, were investigated regarding their ability to repress growth of the pathogenic fungus Colletotrichum musae on banana fruits causing anthracnose disease. An in vitro plate-to-plate assay and an in vivo sealed box assay were conducted, using commercial versus natural potato dextrose medium (PDA).

Phytochemicals are bioactive secondary plant metabolites found in high concentrations in fruits, grains, and vegetables. Recent studies provide evidence of usage of plant-based diets rich in phytochemicals and their corelation to reduction in cancer incidence. Several phytochemicals have demonstrated effectiveness as chemotherapeutic agents against various cancers, including breast cancer.

Purpose: A comprehensive analysis of metabolites (metabolomics) has been proposed as a new strategy for analyzing liquid biopsies and has been applied to identify biomarkers predicting clinical responses or adverse events associated with specific treatments. Here, we aimed to identify metabolites associated with bortezomib (Btz)-related toxicities and response to treatment in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM).
Methods: Fifty-four plasma samples from transplant-ineligible MM patients enrolled in a randomized phase II study comparing two less-intensive regimens of melphalan, prednisolone and Btz (MPB) were subjected to the lipidomic profiling analysis.
