Effect of iproniazid on pregnancy

Zusammenfassung Iproniazid-Behandlung von befruchteten Mäusen soll durch Serotoninanhäufung mit der Implantation interferieren. Unsere gezielteren Versuche ergaben bei mit Iproniazid behandelten Mäusen normale Fruchtbarkeit. Wir schliessen, dass Iproniazid nicht spezifisch mit der Implantation interferieren kann.     

The antagonism of reserpine hypothermia by iproniazid

Zusammenfassung Durch Vorbehandlung mit Iproniazid wird die hypothermische Wirkung von Reserpin bei M?usen abgeschw?cht. Dieser Effekt geht mit der Monoaminoxydase-Hemmung parallel.      

Binding of cyanide to methemoglobin

Riassunto È stata studiata l'interazione tra metemoglobina e cianuro. Il cianuro sembra legarsi ad un solo eme e l'equilibrio non sembra influenzato da interazioni eme-eme.     

Influence of iproniazid pretreatment on formation of gastric ulcers by reserpine in the rat

Résumé Chez le rat à pylore lié, la réserpine (5 mg/kg) provoque l'apparition précoce d'ulcérations gastriques. Ce phénomène fait défaut si les rats ont été traités préalablement par l'iproniazide, un inhibiteur de la monoamino-oxydase.      

Effect of iproniazid on monoamines and monoamine oxidase in human brain

Zusammenfassung Iproniazid in therapeutischen Dosen verursacht beim Menschen eine ausgesprochene Hemmung der Gehirn-Monoaminoxidase und eine Verdoppelung des Gehalts an 3-Hydroxytyramin, Nor-adrenalin und 5-Hydroxytryptamin.     

Binding bovine immunoglobulins to anterior lobe cells of the hypophysis

Summary Cells of the anterior lobe of the bovine hypophysis, show an affinity for immunoglobulins IgG, IgA and IgM. The phenomenon either provides a message to stimulate cellular secretion or to excite mechanisms associated with the synthesis and release of Ig's or their determinants.This study was supported by a grant from the National Research council of Canada.

Binding of antimalarial drugs to hemozoin fromPlasmodium berghei

Summary Chloroquine, quinacrine and mefloquine bind toPlasmodium berghei hemozoin, hemin, heme, protoporphyrin IX and protease digested methemoglobin. This binding may be the basis for drug accumulation and action in the parasite.Acknowledgments. We thank the World Health Organization, the National Research Council of Thailand and Mahidol University for financial support. Dr Prapin Wilairat's suggestions are appreciated.     

Binding of cytophilic rabbit IgG to homologous hepatocytes

Summary Rabbit liver cells were able to bind cytophilic monomeric and polymeric homologous IgG via their Fc receptor binding sites (FcR). On the other hand, non-cytophilic rabbit IgG did not bind to hepatocytes, even after its aggregation. The present findings suggest that FcR on rabbit liver cells are specific for cytophilic monomeric IgG but do not significantly bind non-cytophilic, polymeric IgG.We thank Mrs Sanda Maghiar for her excellent technical assistance.

Binding of estradiol to synaptosomal mitochondria: physiological significance

The subsynaptosomal distribution and specific binding of 17beta-estradiol in vitro to mitochondria isolated from presynaptic nerve endings of female rat brain were examined. 17Beta-estradiol is (i) distributed unequally in synaptosomes and mitochondria posses the highest capacity to bind estradiol with respect to the available amount of the hormone. (ii) Estradiol binds specifically to isolated synaptosomal mitochondria. A Michaelis-Menten plot of specific binding was sigmoidal within a concentration range of 0.1-5 nM of added estradiol, with a saturation plateau at 3 nM. Binding of higher estradiol concentrations demonstrated an exponential Michaelis-Menten plot, indicating non-specific binding to mitochondria. Vmax and Km for the sigmoidal-shape range were estimated as 46 +/- 6 fmol of estradiol/mg of mitochondrial proteins and 0.46 +/- 0.07 nM free estradiol respectively. (iii) Estradiol binding is not affected by the removal of ovaries. The results show that inhibition of Na-dependent Ca2+ efflux from mitochondria by estradiol occurs according to an affinity change of the translocator for Na+, at the same estradiol concentrations that show specific binding to mitochondrial membranes. These data imply that physiological concentrations of estradiol, acting on mitochondrial membrane properties, extragenomically modulate the mitochondrial, and consequently the synaptosomal content of Ca2+, and in that way exert a significant change in nerve cell homeostasis.
