Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization and evolution of the expressed rat ferritin light subunit gene and its pseudogene family. Conservation of sequences within noncoding regions of ferritin genes.
TL;DR: The 5' flanking region of the rat L-gene contains sequences homologous to those in the flanking areas of the human L- and H-genes, suggesting a translational regulatory function of ferritin expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assay of tissue ferritin
Maria C. Linder,Hamish N. Munro +1 more
TL;DR: A new method is described that combines partial chemical purification procedures with quantitative immunochemistry and depends on the titration of ferritin with calibrated, specific antiserum under controlled conditions, applicable, in principle, to any tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary Carbohydrate Increases Brain Tryptophan and Decreases Free Plasma Tryptophan
Bertha K. Madras,Edith L. Cohen,John D. Fernstrom,Frances Larin,Hamish N. Munro,Richard J. Wurtman +5 more
TL;DR: Car carbohydrate ingestion, which raises plasma tryptophan while depressing the concentrations of its competitors, increases the amount of tryPTophan in the brain and accelerates synthesis of serotonin in young rats; on the other hand, protein consumption causes proportionately greater increases in the other neutral amino acids than in plasma trypsophan, and thus fails to elevate brain tryptophon or serotonin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glycoconjugates as noninvasive probes of intrahepatic metabolism: pathways of glucose entry into compartmentalized hepatic UDP-glucose pools during glycogen accumulation
TL;DR: The ratio of 3H/14C in glucuronic acid was closely correlated with the glycogen content of the liver at sacrifice, indicating that this ratio may prove useful as a noninvasive indicator of liver glycogen concentration.
