TLDR
Southern hybridization analysis of human genomic DNA indicates a multigene system for aldose reductase, suggesting the existence of additional proteins, and the aldo-keto reductases superfamily of proteins may have a more significant and hitherto not fully appreciated role in general cellular metabolism.

Identification of Nrf2-regulated genes induced by the chemopreventive agent sulforaphane by oligonucleotide microarray.

TL;DR: This investigation expands the horizon of Nrf2-regulated genes, highlights the cross-talk between various metabolic pathways, and divulges the pivotal role played by NRF2 in regulating cellular defenses against carcinogens and other toxins.
Journal ArticleDOI

11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1: a tissue-specific regulator of glucocorticoid response.

TL;DR: It is speculated that hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and therefore reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate supply may be crucial in determining the directionality of 11beta-HSD1 activity.

11 beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase.

TL;DR: Over the 10 years, 11 beta-HSD has progressed from an enzyme merely involved in the peripheral metabolism of cortisol to a crucial pre-receptor signaling pathway in the analysis of corticosteroid hormone action.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular characterization of the stretch-induced adaptation of cultured cardiac cells. An in vitro model of load-induced cardiac hypertrophy.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the phenotype of stretched cardiocytes in this in vitro model closely mimics that of hemodynamic load-induced hypertrophy in vivo, and seems to be a suitable system with which to dissect the molecular mechanisms of load- inducedhypertrophy of cardiac muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin C. Biosynthesis, recycling and degradation in mammals.

TL;DR: The degradation of vitamin’C in mammals is initiated by the hydrolysis of dehydroascorbate to 2,3‐diketo‐l‐gulonate, which is spontaneously degraded to oxalate, CO2 and l‐erythrulose, at variance with bacteria such as Escherichia coli, which have enzymatic degradation pathways for ascorbate and probably also dehydroASCorbate.

Supercoil sequencing: a fast and simple method for sequencing plasmid DNA

TL;DR: A method for obtaining sequence information directly from plasmid DNA is presented, and the advantages include speed, simplicity, avoidance of additional cloning steps into single-stranded phage M13 vectors, and hence applicability to sequencing large numbers of samples.

DNA sequence analysis with a modified bacteriophage T7 DNA polymerase

TL;DR: A chemically modified phage T7 DNA polymerase has three properties that make it ideal for DNA sequencing by the chain-termination method; the enzyme is highly processive, catalyzing the polymerization of thousands of nucleotides without dissociating, and processive synthesis with dITP in place of dGTP eliminates band compressions.
