The cytochrome P450-catalyzed metabolism of levomepromazine: a phenothiazine neuroleptic with a wide spectrum of clinical application.

Biochem. Pharmacol. 90(2) , 188-95, (2014)

The aim of the present study was to identify cytochrome P450 isoenzymes (CYPs) involved in the 5-sulfoxidation and N-demethylation of the aliphatic-type phenothiazine neuroleptic levomepromazine in human liver. Experiments were performed in vitro using cDNA-e...

Nitrate (NO3(-)) and nitrite (NO2(-)) are endocrine disruptors to downregulate expression of tyrosine hydroxylase and motor behavior through conversion to nitric oxide in early development of zebrafish.

Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 452(3) , 608-13, (2014)

With a view to consider the increasing concern over nitrogen pollution in the aquatic environment, we investigated effects of nitrate (NO3(-)) and nitrite (NO2(-)) on the activity of dopaminergic neuron in zebrafish embryos and larvae. Both nitrate and nitrit...

Plant-fungal ecology. Niche engineering demonstrates a latent capacity for fungal-algal mutualism.

Science 345(6192) , 94-8, (2014)

Mutualistic symbioses shape the evolution of species and ecosystems and catalyze the emergence of biological complexity, yet how such symbioses first form is unclear. We show that an obligate mutualism between the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the alga C...

Effect of Green Light on Nitric Oxide Metabolism in Chick Embryos. A Possible Physiological Role.

Bull. Exp. Biol. Med. 159 , 700-3, (2015)

The exposure to green light, which serves as a well-known activating factor for myogenesis during incubation of chicken eggs, contributes to intensification of embryonic metabolism of NO. A metabolic product, nitrate, is mainly accumulated in the muscles. The...

The role of hydroxyl radical scavengers in preventing DNA strand breaks induced by X irradiation of toluene-treated Escherichia coli.

Radiat. Res. 97(3) , 626-9, (1984)

Evaluation of the oral toxicity of potassium nitrite in a 13-week drinking-water study in rats.

Food Chem. Toxicol. 26(10) , 851-9, (1988)

A subchronic oral toxicity study with potassium nitrite (KNO2) was carried out in rats. Groups of ten male and ten female 6-wk-old rats received KNO2 in the drinking-water (tap-water) at levels of 0, 100, 300, 1000 and 3000 mg/litre for a period of 13 wk. The...

Nitrite-induced adrenal effects in rats and the consequences for the no-observed-effect level.

Food Chem. Toxicol. 35(3-4) , 349-55, (1997)

In a previous subchronic oral toxicity study with potassium nitrite, hypertrophy of the adrenal zona glomerulosa was observed for all nitrite levels examined including the lowest level of 100 mg/litre. This present study was carried out, therefore, to establi...

Pseudoazurin dramatically enhances the reaction profile of nitrite reduction by Paracoccus pantotrophus cytochrome cd1 and facilitates release of product nitric oxide.

J. Biol. Chem. 283(18) , 12555-63, (2008)

Cytochrome cd(1) is a respiratory nitrite reductase found in the periplasm of denitrifying bacteria. When fully reduced Paracoccus pantotrophus cytochrome cd(1) is mixed with nitrite in a stopped-flow apparatus in the absence of excess reductant, a kineticall...

Free radical scavenging and the expression of potentially lethal damage in X-irradiated repair-deficient Escherichia coli.

Radiat. Res. 111(2) , 354-60, (1987)

When cells are exposed to ionizing radiation, they suffer lethal damage (LD), potentially lethal damage (PLD), and sublethal damage (SLD). All three forms of damage may be caused by direct or indirect radiation action or by the interaction of indirect radiati...

Comparison of spot tests with AdultaCheck 6 and Intect 7 urine test strips for detecting the presence of adulterants in urine specimens.

Clin. Chim. Acta 348(1-2) , 19-25, (2004)

Several adulterants are used to mask tests for abused drugs in urine. Adulterants such as "Klear" and "Whizzies" contain potassium nitrite while "Urine Luck" contains pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC). The presence of these adulterants cannot be detected by rou...
