TL;DR: It is shown that to mitigate global water scarcity, increases in IE must be accompanied by robust water accounting and measurements, a cap on extractions, an assessment of uncertainties, the valuation of trade-offs, and a better understanding of the incentives and behavior of irrigators.
Journal ArticleDOI
A critical examination of the evidence for the reactions of the pentose pathway in animal tissues
TL;DR: There are two pentose pathway reaction sequences in tissues and the classical textbook reaction scheme is present in adipose tissue and is now called the F-type pathway, while a new pathway has been found in liver, photosynthetic and other tissues and is called the L- type pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pentose pathway: a random harvest. Impediments which oppose acceptance of the classical (F-type) pentose cycle for liver, some neoplasms and photosynthetic tissue. The case for the L-type pentose pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of ketone bodies by resting lymphocytes.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the high rates of acetoacetate formation in these cells acts as a dynamic "buffer" system for the acetyl coenzyme A (CoA) concentration: that is, acetyl CoA is always available for fatty acid synthesis, cholesterologenesis, chain extension of fatty acids or acetylation of proteins which will be demanded at different stages of the cell cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase II activity is decreased in liver mitochondria of cachectic rats bearing the Walker 256 carcinosarcoma: Effect of indomethacin treatment
TL;DR: It is suggested that PGE2 may play a role in the control of CPT II expression in the liver of tumour‐bearing rats and that the emergence of the second, smaller protein may represent a catalytically less active protein that arises in vivo.
