    Notes: Summary. Twenty-two NIDDM patients completed an open randomized cross-over study comparing metformin and glibenclamide over 1 year. The drugs had an equivalent effect on glycaemic control, but, in contrast to glibenclamide, metformin reduced body weight. Neither drug affected triglycerides, total-and LDL-cholesterol or C-peptide. Metformin caused a slight elevation of HDL-cholesterol (P 〈 0.05). No serious adverse effects were observed. The results show that oral hypoglycaemic agents are not associated with undesirable effects on lipids and lipoproteins.

    Notes: Abstract: In the present study, neuronal and Schwann cell marker proteins were used to biochemically characterize the spatiotemporal progress of degeneration/regeneration in the silicone chamber model for nerve regeneration. Rat sciatic nerves were transected and the proximal and distal stumps were inserted into a bridging silicone chamber with a 10-mm interstump gap. Using dot immunobinding assays, S-100 protein and neuronal intermediate filament polypeptides were measured in different parts of the nerve 0–30 days after transaction. In the most proximal nerve segment, all the measured proteins were transiently increased. In the proximal and distal stumps adjacent to the transection, the studied proteins were decreased indicating degeneration of the nerve. Within the silicone chamber, the regenerating nerve expressed the Schwann cell S-100 protein already at 7 days, whereas the neurofilament polypeptides appeared later. These observations are corroborated by previous morphological studies. The biochemical method described provides a new and fast approach to the study of nerve regeneration.

    Notes: The precise mechanism for the neurotoxicity of 2, 5-hexanedione is not known, but cross-linking of neurofilament proteins has been suggested as one possibility. In this study the effects of long-term exposure to 2, 5-hexanedione were studied in the rat nervous system with special reference to regional changes in the quantities of neuronal and glial intermediate filaments. Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays the concentrations of 68- and 200-kDa neurofilament polypeptides were shown to be reduced in all brain regions studied. Similar results were obtained in the sciatic nerve. The concentration of glial fibrillary acidic protein was decreased in the cerebellar vermis and the dorsal cerebral cortex, whereas it was increased in the spinal cord, a result suggesting a regional variation in glial sensitivity. The intermediate filaments of the exposed animals were also immunoblotted using polyclonal antisera against the various neurofilament polypeptides and glial fibrillary acidic protein. In all tissues studied, several aggregates with molecular weights higher than those of the monomeric polypeptides were demonstrated. Contrary to clinical observations, these data indicate pronounced effects in both CNS and PNS and call for further studies on CNS effects in humans.

    Notes: In this article, the preparation and characterization of polyclonal rabbit antisera against the individual polypeptides of bovine neurofilament (68, 150, and 200 kilodaltons) is described. Selected antisera against the 68- add 150-kilo-dalton neurofilament polypeptides were specific for the corresponding antigen in homogenates of bovine, rat, and human brain as judged by immunoblots. The antisera against the 200-kilodalton neurofilament polypeptide crossjreacted to some extent with the 150-kilodalton neurofilament polypeptide, especially with the human antigen. The most specific antisera were used to develop an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the cross-reactivities between the antisera and the different bovine and rat neurofilament polypeptides were determined. Contrary to the results In the immunoblots, the antiserum against the 200-kilodalton neurofilament polypeptide was subunit-specific, as was the 150-kilodalton antiserum. The 68-kilodalton antiserum displayed a minute cross-reactivity against bovine 150- and 200-kilodalton neurofilaments, but it cross-reacted somewhat more with the rat 150- and 200-kilodalton antigens. Even so, the subunit specificity of the antisera is high enough to enable the development of a quantitative ELISA for determination of the individual bovine or rat neurofilament polypeptides in a mixture. This study is the necessary preparation for such an assay.

    Notes: Abstract: In this article a fast HPLC technique to separate the individual neurofilament proteins is described. Highly pure fractions of the three neurofilament proteins can be obtained. As much as 50 mg of each neurofilament poly-peptide can be separated from a crude neurofilament protein preparation in one step in less than 2 h. The short separation time is of importance in minimizing degradation, especially of the 150-kilodalton neurofilament poly-peptide.

    Notes: Abstract The regional changes in quantities of the glial S-100 protein and the neuron specific enolase in the rat nervous system have been studied after long-term exposure to 2,5-hexanedione. The wet weights of most of the examined nervous tissues were found to be reduced, with an extensive effect seen in the brain stem. Using dot immunobinding assays, the concentrations of S-100 were found to be increased in most of the examined tissues, but unaffected in the brain stem. The total amount of S-100 per tissue was markedly reduced in the brain stem. The content of neuron specific enolase was reduced only in the brain stem. Thus the effects of 2,5-hexanedione on the nervous system varied regionally. The brain stem was severely atrophied with a reduction of neuronal as well as of glial marker proteins. Other brain regions contained increased glial cell marker proteins as signs of progressive astroglial reactions.
