Objective. Agmatine, decarboxylated arginine, was shown in preclinical studies to exert efficacious neuroprotection by interacting with multiple molecular targets. This study designed ascertain safety and efficacy of dietary agmatine sulfate herniated lumbar disc-associated radiculopathy. Study Design. First, an open-label dose escalation performed assess the side-effects sulfate. In follow-up study, participants diagnosed radiculopathy were randomly assigned receive either placebo or a...
Abstract— Changes in the activities of several specific enzymes were measured cerebellum during development. Early transient increases found both ornithine decarboxylase and S ‐adenosylmethionine decarboxylase, involved initial steps polyamine synthesis. Different patterns changes neurotransmitter synthesizing enzymes. Tyrosine hydroxylase activity achieved adult levels very early, by 3 days after birth, remained at this level. Glutamic acid activity, while low early stages, increased...
Abstract: The activity of transglutaminase (TG) was examined in the rat superior cervical ganglion (SCG) during development and after postganglionic nerve crush. During postnatal enzyme is increased by sevenfold parallel to protein content reaches adult levels day 35 birth. endogenous (enzyme assayed absence exogenous substrate) transiently elevated with a peak at 21 postnatal. In specific evenly distributed all subcellular compartments, but most it contained cytosol. Within first hour...
Abstract: The activity of transglutaminase was characterized in the rat brain. In adults, comparable levels are present all brain regions examined. is subcellular fractions, as studied by differential centrifugation, but soluble fraction contains highest specific activity. endogenous (enzyme assayed absence exogenous substrate casein) very low except synaptosomal where its about 40–60% presence casein. Furthermore, enzyme on external surface synaptosomes. fraction, maximal can be detected...
