Polyethers. Antibiotics within this family contain a number of cycHc ether and ketal units and have a carboxyHc acid group. They form complexes with mono- and divalent cations that ate soluble ia aoapolar organic solvents. They iateract with bacterial cell membranes and allow cations to pass through the membranes causiag cell death. Because of this property they have been classified as ionophores. Monensia, lasalocid, and maduramicia are examples of polyethers that are used commercially as anticoccidial agents ia poultry and as growth promotants ia mmiaants. [Pg.474]

Nowadays,. some pump companies publish their lamily curves on the Internet. You can request a copy with an e-mail, phone call, fax, or letter. The curves and gauges are the difference between life and death of your pumps. The pump family curve goes hand in hand with the system curve, which we ll cover in the next chapter. [Pg.91]

Death domain (DD) superfamily consists of structurally related homotypic interaction motifs of approximately 90 amino acids. The motifs are organized in six antiparallel amphipathic a-helices, the so-called DD fold. The four members of the super family are the death domain (DD), the death effector domain (DED), the caspase activation and recruitment domain (CARD), and the Pyrin domain. All are important mediators for the assembly of caspase activating complexes. [Pg.419]

In a previous section we mentioned the significance of myosin filament structure. In nematodes two forms of myosin-II, myosin A and B, are required for proper filament stmcture (Epstein, 1988). The two forms of myosin are expressed at the proper time to allow for correct filament assembly. An accessory protein called paramyosin is also required for correct filament assembly. In vertebrate cardiac muscle, there are also two isoforms of myosin-II a-myosin and p-myosin. The proper ratio of these two proteins is of utmost importance for proper muscle activity. The incorrect synthesis of a- and P-myosins results in a severe cardiac disorder known as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Genetic transmission of the disease occurs in about 55% of families. The inherited condition is called familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC), and this condition is a leading cause of sudden death in young athletes. [Pg.73]

Signs and symptoms of sympathetic nervous system activity are invariably found in MH. Levels of catecholamines are markedly increased in MH. Whether activation of the sympathetic nervous system is a primary or a secondary response in the syndrome has not been fully elucidated. Gronert reported that stress-induced sympathetic hyperactivity can initiate a malignant hyperthermic episode in susceptible swine without a triggering agent. Stress-induced MH in humans has been inferred because susceptible families have been shown to have an increased incidence of sudden death. Gronert s reasons that activation of the sympathetic... [Pg.402]

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. There are a number of established risk factors including serum cholesterol levels, smoking and family history, which are responsible for between 50 and 75% of the CVD cases, with the remainder due to factors that cause atherosclerosis. Estrogen treatment such as hormone replacement therapy is known to protect against CVD by decreasing the levels of low-density... [Pg.71]
