Morus alba callus and cell suspension cultures specifically produce chalomoradn 5 and kuwanon J 6 from dnnamoylpolyketide intermediates. Administration of [2- C]cinnamic add AT-acetylcysteamine thioester to the M. alba cell cultures revealed the cinnamoyl CoA intermediate to be a significant precursor <99H(50)989>. For further biosynthetic investip-tions see <99H(51)231>.

The expectation of pain also determines how much pain is felt. Two people, for example, may go to the dentist the person who has greater anxiety about the experience is likely to feel a greater amount of pain. Tension and emotional states may also cause biochemical changes that lower the amount of endorphins (naturally occurring opiates) produced by the brain.
