Changes in mitochondrial stmcture are very relevant during X-ray induced apoptosis. A few hours after irradiation, a hyperpolarisation of A /m is noticed. This likely represents the attempt to restore the depleted ATP levels, stimulating the oxidative burst of surviving mitochondria. If this secondary oxidative stress overcomes the threshold given by mitochondrial thiols, mitochondrial cardiolipin is oxidized and mitochondrial inner membrane allows the leakage of A /m with the consequent initiation of the execution phase. 

The stepwise nature of nitrification during the aerobic decomposition of detrital PON is illustrated in Figure 24.6. Initially, the degradation of PON produces ammonium, which stimulates the growth of the nitrate oxidizers. These bacteria transform the ammonium into nitrite, causing ammonium concentrations to decline and nitrite concentrations to rise. The elevated nitrite levels stimulate the growth of the nitrite oxidizers. These bacteria transform the nitrite into nitrate. Eventually all of the DIN is oxidized to nitrate. The residual pool of PON includes microbial biomass and any PON too inert to be degraded by aerobic marine bacteria. 

The catecholamines can play an important role in the short-term regulation of plasma potassium levels. Stimulation of hepatic a-adrenoceptors will result in the release of potassium from the liver. In contrast, stimulation of (32-adrenoceptors, particularly in skeletal muscle, will lead to the uptake of potassium into this tissue. The (32-adrenoceptors are linked to the enzyme Na"", K+ adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase). Excessive stimulation of these (32-adrenoceptors may produce hypokalemia, which in turn can be a cause of cardiac arrhythmias.

Recent studies have shown that the binding of ligands to GPIIb/llla also activates a number of cellular processes important for platelet stimulation (50) including the synthesis of 3-phosphorylated phosphatidylinositols, the release of arachidonic acid, and the increase in plasma calcium levels. Stimulation of these processes allows for bidirectional signaling between the intracellular and extracellular compartments.

IP3 diffuses to specialized regions of the endoplasmic reticulum and induces it to release a small amount of stored Ca " (Golovina and Blaustein, 1997). The conse-tfuent increase in cytoplasmic levels stimulates a rtumber of events in the cytoplasm, including the further activation of protein kinase C. Calcium ions directly bind to and activate calmodulin, protein kinase C, phospholipase A2, proteins of muscle fibers (troponin, caldesmon), and proteins of the cytoskeleton (geisolin, villin). One might hesitate to cali these proteins Ca-metalloenzymes. It is more accurate to say that these enzymes are regulated by calcium.

A fall in blood glucose level stimulates GH release, whereas a rise inhibits GH release. GH release also occurs in response to certain amino acids, the most potent being L-arginine, but with a latency period of about 30 minutes. Circulating hormones exert their effects at the level of the hypothalamus or the pituitary. GH influences its own secretion by way of IGFs that exert a negative feedback effect at the median eminence. However, whether this feedback involves a decrease in GHRH, an increase in somatostatin, or both is not known. Other hormones promote the synthesis and release of GH at the level of the anterior pituitary. 

Figure 35.17 Muscle-relaxation pathway. Increases in NO levels stimulate guanylate cyclase, which produces cGMP. The increased cGMP concentration promotes smooth muscle relaxation. Phosphodiesterase 5 hydrolyzes cGMP, which lowers the cGMP concentration. The inhibition of phosphodiesterase 5 by sildenafil maintains elevated levels of cGMP.
