Type II diabetes and pre-diabetes are widely prevalent among adults. Elevated serum glucose levels are commonly treated by targeting hepatic gluconeogenesis for downregulation. However, direct measurement of hepatic gluconeogenic capacity is accomplished only via tracer metabolism approaches that rely on

1. The structures of the alpha(2)- and alpha(3)-azopigments, prepared by diazotization of dog bile with ethyl anthranilate, were shown by mass spectrometry and g.l.c. to correspond to azobilirubin beta-d-xylopyranoside and azobilirubin beta-d-glucopyranoside respectively. 2. Both azopigments consist of a mixture

Polyethylenimine (750 kDa) has been derivatized to influence the proton sponge mechanism and hydrophobic-hydrophilic balance. The polymer was acylated using acid anhydrides of varying carbon chain length, followed by cross-linking with PEG-bis-P to form compact nanoparticles. The chemical linkages in

Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-conjugated therapeutic peptides/proteins have been shown to exhibit clinical properties superior to those of their corresponding unmodified parent molecules. However, the desirable pharmacological features gained by protein PEGylation become irrelevant if conjugates are inactivated or cannot reach their

In eukaryotic cells, posttranslational modifications (PTMs) on histones regulate chromatin structure and thus impact nearly all chromatin-templated events, including replication, transcription, and DNA repair. During S phase, newly synthesized histones are deposited onto DNA, leading to dilution of total chromatin-associated
