Effects of glyphosate on caffeic acid metabolism in Perilla cell suspension cultures

Effects of glyphosate on caffeic acid metabolism in Perilla cell suspension cultures. Ishikura, Nariyuki; Takeshima, Yasunobu (Fac. Sci., Kumamoto Univ., Kumamoto 860, Japan). Plant Cell Physiol., 25(1), 185-9 (English) 1984. CODEN: PCPHA5.There are some reagents with their cas registry numbers 331-39-5 and 1071-83-6 are used in this study. ISSN: 0032-0781. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 5 (Agrochemical Bioregulators) Section cross-reference(s): 11 Perilla Cell suspension cultures contained caffeic acid [331-39-5] at 0.073% of the fresh wt. When 1 mM glyphosate [1071-83-6] was administered to the cell culture in the logarithmic and stationary phases, the amt. of caffeic acid ceased to increase and remained at a nearly const. level during the following several days. Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) [9024-28-6] activity in the cell culture increased immediately after transfer to a fresh medium, decreased rapidly in the midst of the logarithmic phase and became almost undetectable in the stationary phase. PAL activity was markedly inhibited by glyphosate at >0.2 mM. The shikimic acid [138-59-0] content of cells from 14-day culture grown in the presence of 1 mM glyphosate increased ￡74.9 mg/g during 6-day culture, whereas that of the control cells was undetectable. The dosage of 0.15 mM L-2-aminooxy-3-phenylpropionic acid [42990-62-5], an inhibitor of PAL, to the cells did not cause shikimic acid accumulation. .

Effect of maltose infusion on amino acid composition of maternal venous blood and fetal blood in utero

Effect of maltose infusion on amino acid composition of maternal venous blood and fetal blood in utero. Nishijima, Mitsushige; Iwata, Mitsuru (Sch. Med., Iwate Medical Univ., Morioka, Japan). Nippon Sanka Fujinka Gakkai Zasshi, 35(12), 2339-48 (Japanese) 1983. 69-79-4 is the cas registry number. This chemical is also mentioned in this article. CODEN: NISFAY. ISSN: 0300-9165. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 18 (Animal Nutrition) Maltose [69-79-4] was given i.v. to women during labor and the compn. of maternal venous blood (MV), umbilical venous blood (UV), and umbilical arterial blood (UA) was monitored, and the results compared to values obtained with a noninfused group of women. Blood glucose was higher in MV and UV in the infusion group. Maltose showed a significant correlation only between UV and UA. Glucose and maltose had no significant correlation. Valine, tyrosine, and ethanolamine were significantly lower in MV with infusion. Aspartic acid in UA was significantly lower with infusion. Phenylalanine in UV and UA were significantly higher with infusion. Phenylalanine in UV showed a significant correlation with the maltose level. Activities of glutamine dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, g-glutamyl transpeptidase, and blood urea N did not change following maltose infusion. These results suggest that clin. efficiency of maltose infusion in promoting fetal growth can be caused not only on the increased supply of glucose but also the efficient use of transported amino acid in the fetus. .
