Replenishment signals

In the second period from 1998 to 2000, the company focused on building a hybrid model. It implemented vendor-managed inventory models with customers and stocked customer hubs to drive a pull-based replenishment signal, While criticized for building too high customer inventory...

Cytosolic concentrations of AMP and ADP will rise when ATP is being utilized, signalling the need for an increase in glycolysis, and therefore TCA and oxidative phosphorylation, to replenish ATP. 

The reaction involves biotin as a carrier of activated HCO3 (Fig. 14-18). The reaction mechanism is shown in Figure 16-16. Pyruvate carboxylase is the first regulatory enzyme in the gluconeogenic pathway, requiring acetyl-CoA as a positive effector. (Acetyl-CoA is produced by fatty acid oxidation (Chapter 17), and its accumulation signals the availability of fatty acids as fuel.) As we shall see in Chapter 16 (see Fig. 16-15), the pyruvate carboxylase reaction can replenish intermediates in another central metabolic pathway, the citric acid cycle. 

The occupancy of hormone receptors can fluctuate greatly and is ultimately determined by the concentration of free hormone in the blood. The major determinants of hormone concentrations are (1) the rate of hormone secretion from endocrine cells and (2) the rate of hormone removal by clearance or metabolic inactivation. As we have seen, most hormones (with the exception of steroids) are stored in secretory granules. When the hormone is needed, the granule membranes fuse with the plasma membrane to liberate their contents into the bloodstream. This event is triggered by signals from other hormones or by neural signals. Stimulation of hormonal secretion is usually coupled with an increase of hormone synthesis, so that hormonal stores are replenished. 

There are few studies reporting on the effect of ethanol on the release of aroma compounds using dynamic methodologies. In one study (dynamic headspace analysis and APCI-MS), Tsachaki et al. (2005) observed that in aqueous systems (no ethanol) there was a rapid decrease in MS signal intensity until the rate of replenishment equalled the rate of loss from headspace purging. However, above ethanolic solutions, there was a similar initial rapid decrease followed by a steady state loss at much higher levels (at 50-90%) of the initial relative intensity depending on the volatile compound (Fig. 8F.2). In contrast to the aroma release effects noted under... 

While actin nucleation represents one key control point in determining the dynamic behavior of cellular actin networks, an equally important point of control is filament disassembly. Only by maintaining actin polymers in a state of rapid turnover can cells maintain a pool of assembly-competent actin subunits for new growth and reorganize their networks rapidly in response to signals. Replenishment of subunits is accelerated by cellular factors that selectively destabilize and depolymerize the older (ADP-bound) filaments in networks. Cofilin (also called ADF) plays a central role in this process and recendy it has emerged that coronin assists cofilin in driving these events. 

The transduction of many hormonal and neuronal signals occurs through receptor-mediated activation of phosphoinositidase C (phospholipase C). This enzyme hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bis-(phosphate) (PIP2) into 1,2-diacylglycerol and n-inositol 1,4,5-tris-(phosphate) in the plasma membrane. Both products are second messengers that, respectively, stimulate protein kinase C and release calcium from intracellular stores located in the endoplasmic reticulum (100). D-Inositol l,4,5-tris(phosphate) is converted via intermediary compounds to myoinositol. In return this is converted to phosphatidylinositol, which is used to replenish PIP2.
