Kinetik des Malondialdehydes im Organismus

Summary We followed the kinetics of malonyldialdehyde in vivo and we found that it is very quickly metabolized. This may result in inaccuracy in the estimation of lipoperoxidation in the organism (reaction with 2-thiobarbituric acid).     

一种新型高价锰取代的多金属氧酸盐合成、结构及性质研究

在含有MnⅡ的夹心型多金属氧酸盐水溶液中加入强氧化剂KMnO4,制得一种新型的含有MnⅢ的多金属氧酸盐K5Na3[{MnⅢ(H2O)}2(WO)(H2O) (AsW9O33)2]·18H2O (KNa-1).该化合物的多阴离子结构是基于2个B-α-[AsW9]三缺位Keggin型构筑单元,中间夹着2个{MnⅢ(H2O)}和1个{WⅥO}片段而构成的夹心式构型.对KNa-1进行了变温磁化率测定并采用双核MnⅢ簇为模型进行了拟合,并对该化合物进行了电化学分析.结果表明:KNa-1 中的2个MnⅢ中心存在弱的反铁磁相互作用;化合物中的MnⅢ离子具有不可逆的氧化还原过程.     

Human metabolic phenotype diversity and its association with diet and blood pressure

Metabolic phenotypes are the products of interactions among a variety of factors-dietary, other lifestyle/environmental, gut microbial and genetic. We use a large-scale exploratory analytical approach to investigate metabolic phenotype variation across and within four human populations, based on 1H NMR spectroscopy. Metabolites discriminating across populations are then linked to data for individuals on blood pressure, a major risk factor for coronary heart disease and stroke (leading causes of mortality worldwide). We analyse spectra from two 24-hour urine specimens for each of 4,630 participants from the INTERMAP epidemiological study, involving 17 population samples aged 40-59 in China, Japan, UK and USA. We show that urinary metabolite excretion patterns for East Asian and western population samples, with contrasting diets, diet-related major risk factors, and coronary heart disease/stroke rates, are significantly differentiated (P < 10(-16)), as are Chinese/Japanese metabolic phenotypes, and subgroups with differences in dietary vegetable/animal protein and blood pressure. Among discriminatory metabolites, we quantify four and show association (P < 0.05 to P < 0.0001) of mean 24-hour urinary formate excretion with blood pressure in multiple regression analyses for individuals. Mean 24-hour urinary excretion of alanine (direct) and hippurate (inverse), reflecting diet and gut microbial activities, are also associated with blood pressure of individuals. Metabolic phenotyping applied to high-quality epidemiological data offers the potential to develop an area of aetiopathogenetic knowledge involving discovery of novel biomarkers related to cardiovascular disease risk.
