    Notes: Abstract The ring A reduced metabolites of deoxycorticosterone and progesterone, 3alpha,5alpha-tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone (THDOC) and 3alpha-hydroxy-5alpha-dihydroprogesterone (3alpha-OH-DHP) have been shown to be potent barbiturate-like ligands of the benzodiazepine receptor complex. The former has also been reported to have anxiolytic effects in mice and rats. In the present study, sleep recordings were obtained on rats given 5 and 10 mg/kg of these steroids alone and in combination with flurazepam. THDOC, but not 3alpha-OH-DHP, had potent dose-dependent sleep-inducing properties and increased nonREM sleep. Flurazepam had similar hypnotic effects and also reduced REM sleep. There were no significant interactions between THDOC and flurazepam, except in the case of REM latency, which tended to increase when the two compounds were given together. In summary, THDOC, a mineralocorticoid metabolite found in brain, has sedative properties and could conceivably play a role in stress responses.

    Selenium requirement for active xanthine dehydrogenase from Clostridium acidiurici and Clostridium cylindrosporum (1979)

    Notes: Abstract The xanthine dehydrogenase of Clostridium acidiurici and C. cylindrosporum was assayed with methyl viologen as acceptor. In C. acidiurici the basal activity level was about 0.3 μmol/min x mg of protein. Cells grown on uric acid in the presence of 10-7 M selenite showed a 14-fold increase in xanthine dehydrogenase activity, which decreased with higher selenite concentrations (10-5 M). The supplementation with 10-7 M molybdate or tungstate was without effect. High concentrations of tungstate decreased the xanthine dehydrogenase if selenite was also present. In comparison, high concentrations of molybdate affected only a small decrease in activity level at the optimal concentration for selenite and relieved to some degree the inhibitory effect of 10-5 M selenite. With hypoxanthine and xanthine as substrates for growth again only the addition of selenite was necessary to show a similar increase in xanthine dehydrogenase activity. C. acidiurici could be grown in a mineral medium. Both xanthine dehydrogenase and formate dehydrogenase exhibited the highest level of activity if selenite and tungstate were present in that medium. In C. cylindrosporum the basal activity level of xanthine dehydrogenase was about 0.95 μmol/min x mg of protein. The addition of 10-7 M selenite to the growth medium increased the activity level about 3-fold, but the highest level (3.7 U/mg) was reached if 10-7 M molybdate was also added. The presence of tungstate resulted in a decreased enzyme activity.

    Accumulation and incorporation of 185W-tungsten into proteins of Clostridium acidiurici and Clostridium cylindrosporum (1987)

    ISSN: 1432-072X
    Keywords: Clostridium acidiurici ; Clostridium cylindrosporum ; Tungsten uptake ; Molybdate antagonism ; Formate dehydrogenase ; Tungsten-binding-storage protein

    Notes: Abstract Uptake of tungstate by growing cells was unaffected by the presence of molybdate in Clostridium cylindrosporum, whereas in C. acidiurici the accumulation was decreased by molybdate at 10-6 mol/l tungstate and higher concentrations. The labelling pattern of soluble proteins by 185W-tungsten indicated after gel chromatography the presence of three different tungstoproteins in both bacteria. Formate dehydrogenase activity always eluted at a maximum of tungsten labelling. The incorporation of tungsten into formate dehydrogenase containing fractions and a possible tungsten-binding-storage protein was independent of the presence of excess molydate pointing to a genuine role for tungstate in these bacteria.

    Cellular immune reactions and blood cerebrospinal fluid barrier dysfunction in guinea pigs (1988)

    Notes: Abstract Both young and adult strain 13 guinea pigs have been treated with complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA). In young animals CFA induced an increase in the lymphocyte cell count in blood and a reversible blood CSF barrier impairment. Both these effects could be suppressed by the immunosuppressant drug Cyclosporin A. In contrast to the young animals treatment with CFA in adult strain 13 guinea pigs influenced neither the lymphocyte cell count nor blood CSF barrier function. In young and adult CFA-treated animals the number of polymorphonuclear cells in blood were increased and this increase was not reversed by Cyclosporin A. We discuss the influence of a systemic immune stimulation and suppression on blood CSF barrier function for proteins and its relevance to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system.
