In the cysteine/glucose model experiments glucose reduc-tone, acetylformoin, furaneol and cyclotene were detected as major constituents indicating that the 1-deoxy-osone route is operative at pH-values o 5 to 7. As main component we identified by MS, IR- and H-NMR-spectroscopy 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)thiophenone. Obviously this compound is less reactive than the corresponding norfuraneol derivative. Thiofuraneol is also formed from glucose/reductone, acetylformoin and furaneol as demonstrated in model experiments. Surprisingly, it is not formed in cysteine/rhamnose experiments, where furaneol is a major compound. In addition 2-acetyl-4-thiolanone and 5-hydroxymethyl-2-methyl-3-thiolanone were identified for the first time as cysteine specific products. 

Use temperatures of around 110F/43C to reduce toning times. At this temperature, prints will still take from 15 to 45 minutes to tone. However, resin-coated (RC) papers should not be toned at this temperature as they may delaminate. 

Compared with the /V-substituted glycosylamines, the l-amino-l-deoxy-2-ketoses are more stable to moist acid atmospheres, but are still heat-labile and decompose rapidly in mild alkali. They exert greater reducing power, although less than reduc-tones. They brown more easily with amino acids. Acid hydrolysis gives much compared with little HMF, but no hexose is recovered, in keeping with the reaction s being irreversible (however, see below).

CRITICAL ASSESSEMENT OF THE METHOD In general pharmacological studies during anesthesia should be assessed appropriately due to the possible interaction between the test compound and the used anesthetic as well as due to the reduced tone of the autonomic nervous system. Enteral administration of the candidate compound should be avoided, because enteral absorption of the test compound might be reduced due to the impaired intestinal motility during anesthesia. With respect to the effect of the aesthetic compound itself on intermediary metabolism the barbiturate pentobarbital sodium is the most inert anesthetic and does not cause alterations of metabolic blood and tissue parameters. In contrast, e.g. urethane as well as isoflurane (inhalation aesthetic) influences by itself substantially metabolic parameters over time (hours). 

Spasticity, if moderate to severe, may impede rehabilitation after stroke. Botulinum toxin has been shown in small studies to reduce tone and improve range of movement but robust evidence for improvement in function is lacking (van Kuijk et al. 2002).

In weakly acidic and neutral media the reactions proceed at a lower rate. Reduc-tones (4.55-4.57), compounds with the carbonyl group vicinal to an endiol moiety, which are formed, are stable at pH < 6 and act as natural antioxidants. They transform into deoxysugars, uloses (5.58). The latter undergo cyclization into 5-hydroxymeth-ylfuran-2-aldehyde (5.62). Corresponding osuloses (5.63) in similar sequences of transformations yield diacetylformosine (5.69). 

Low surface energy additives such as silicone oils have also been used to reduce toning, presumably by acting as a release layer between the ink and plate, since surface energetics alone would not predict its usefulness. 

The decomposition of these intermediates leads to the formation of ene-diols, also known as reduc-tones, in redox equilibrium with a-dicarbonylated compounds. These are responsible for the oxidation of plant tissues. The a-dicarbonylated compounds resulting from the rearrangement of the Amadori and Heyns intermediates may in turn add amino acids from must and wine (Figure 8.28). The corresponding addition products develop by intramolecular decarboxylation, according to the well-known Strecker breakdown reaction. Amino acids that become involved in this reaction ultimately become aldehydes.

The pyrrohdino- and dipyrrolidinohexose reduc-tones were characterized as bitter substances obtained from heated prohne/saccharose mixtures (190 °C, 30 min, molar ratio 3 1 Csbi 0.8 and 0.03 mmol/1). 

Diketogulonic acid degradation products, xy-losone and 4-deoxypentosone (Formula 6.21), are then converted into ethylglyoxal, various reduc-tones (cf. 4.2.4.3.1), furfural and furancarboxylic acid.

Despite commencing elective bi-level positive airway pressure ventilatory support, he was unable to sustain adequate gas exchange. The reduced tone of his facial muscles was addressed with the use of a chinstrap. However, an anatomical jaw malocclusion could not be remedied and he declined ventilation via a mouthpiece. He sustained marked air leakage at the mouth, such that many ventilator delivered breaths did not result in adequate ventilatory support, as seen by limited chest and abdominal excursion (Fig. 9). He was advised to consider an elective tracheostomy, but relocated and was lost to follow-up. Ultimately he agreed, at his new location, to have mouthpiece ventilation and he has remained stable.
