TLDR
It is demonstrated that partially purified aminopropyltr~sfera~s from rat liver were strongly inhibited by SAM and that administration of SAM in combination with methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone) (MGBG) caused a decrease in the concentration of spermid~e, which may be useful for understanding the regulation of polyamine synthesis in eukaryotic cells.

Polyamines in mammalian tumors. Part I.

TL;DR: This chapter investigates the links between polyamines and tumors by modifying the culture conditions to clarify the influence of the environmental milieu on the activities of the polyamine biosynthetic enzymes by enhancing or decreasing the levels of these enzymes to see the role of polyamines in the cell growth process.

Dicyclohexylamine, a potent inhibitor of spermidine synthase in mammalian cells

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that partially purified spermidine synthase from rat ventral prostate was strongly inhibited by dicyclohexylamine and also by cycloheoxylamine, and that administration of dicyCloheXYlamine caused a decrease in the concentration of sperMidine but not spermine in the liver of partially hepatectomized rats.

Effect of methionine deprivation on S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase of tumour cells

TL;DR: Transference of Walker carcinoma and TLX5 lymphoma from normal L-methionine-containing medium to medium containing limiting amounts of L-homocysteine only, caused a 2-fold increase of S-adenosylmeth ionine decarboxylase activity, which appears to be mainly due to enhanced stabilization.

Methionine Metabolism in the Brain

TL;DR: A review of the metabolism of methionine in the central nervous system as seen by a group of us who worked together on this problem for over a decade and follow the pathway of sulfur metabolism only as far as cyst(e)ine.

1,4-Diaminobutane (Putrescine), Spermidine, and Spermine

TL;DR: No specific mechanism has been firmly established for the action of the polyamines in vivo, however, it is clear that these compounds are physiologically important, and further work is necessary to establish the mechanism of their action.

Methyl glyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone) as a potent inhibitor of mammalian and yeast S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylases.

TL;DR: The putrescine-activated S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylases of rat ventral prostate and baker's yeast are strongly inhibited by methyl glyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone), a substance which has been reported to exhibit anti-leukemic actions.
