    Notes: Abstract Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) is the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). GAD has been identified as a 64-kDa antigen expressed in pancreatic beta-cells, to which autoantibodies are generated prior to the onset of type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. GAD may therefore be an initiating factor in beta-cell destruction. We administered baclofen, a GABA-B receptor agonist, to non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice in an attempt to down-regulate GAD expression and thereby reduce the incidence of diabetes. Twenty-four female NOD mice were given baclofen in their drinking water at a final dose of 50 mg/kg body weight daily from weaning to 30 weeks of age. Twentyfour sex-and litter-matched mice were used as controls. At 30 weeks there was no difference in the incidence of diabetes in the treated group compared with the controls. However, there was a significant delay in the onset of diabetes in the treated group (P〈0.001, parallelism test). The degree of insulitis and the GAD activity in the pancreas per mg of protein were unchanged by baclofen treatment with respect to controls. These results suggest that baclofen may be effective in delaying diabetes onset in NOD mice by stimulating GABA activity, as this neurotransmitter, localised in the islets, may modulate insulin secretion and the antigen expression associated with it.

    Dissociation of meta-stable ions in mass spectrometers with release of internal energy (1995)

    Notes: Certain of the “meta-stable peaks” in mass spectra are abnormally wide. This extra width is shown to be associated with release of kinetic energy during fragmentation. Methods are presented for measuring this energy release and values are given for various transitions in the spectra of aromatic nitro compounds.

    Notes: The FT-Raman vibrational spectrum of a child's deciduous exfoliated tooth has been analysed and the spectral features assigned to hydroxyapatite and protein. Comparisons made with older teeth from a Romano-British burial site (∼ 2k years) and fossilised animal teeth (∼ 1 M-70 M years) indicate that the organic protein component has disappeared with interment, whereas spectroscopic features due to the inorganic phosphatic matrix are common to all samples, modern and ancient. The application of the technique to the non-destructive analysis of archaeological samples and the recording of spectra from interred samples without detriment from fluorescent material is demonstrated. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
