Animal substances

We might also note another important difference between animal and bacterial cells. Bacterial cells have rigid cell walls containing peptidoglycan and associated substances. Animal cells, on the other hand, lack cell walls. This difference is important for the way by which the virus genome enters and exits the cell. In bacteria, the protein coat of the virus remains on the outside of the cell and only the nucleic acid enters. In animal viruses, on the other hand, uptake of the virus often occurs by endocytosis (pinocytosis or phagocytosis), processes which are characteristic of animal cells, so that the whole virus particle enters the cell. The separation of animal virus genomes from their protein coats then occurs inside the cell. 

A Drug Information Centre may also serve as a Poison Control Centre, which will include services towards the public. The Poison Control Centre answers questions concerning possibly toxic effects of any kind of ingested substance, animal bites or stings, or other forms of chemical exposure. This kind of service will require a 24-hour attendance, whereas the work of answering drug related questions usually can be limited to office hours. 

Chapter 2 examines the current state of scientific research into how chemical exposures affect human health. There are good human studies on only a few substances. Animal and bacterial studies are more plentiful but are a poor substitute. Furthermore, better research will contribute surprisingly little to many chemical exposure disputes, which involve equity conflicts and trade-offs falling in the realm of policy analysis. 

Cysteine not only is an essential constituent of proteins but also lies on the major route of incorporation of inorganic sulfur into organic compounds.443 Autotrophic organisms carry out the stepwise reduction of sulfate to sulfite and sulfide (H2S). These reduced sulfur compounds are the ones that are incorporated into organic substances. Animals make use of the organic sulfur compounds formed by the autotrophs and have an active oxidative metabolism by which the compounds can be decomposed and the sulfur reoxidized to sulfate. Several aspects of cysteine metabolism are summarized in Fig. 24-25. Some of the chemistry of inorganic sulfur metabolism has been discussed in earlier chapters. Sulfate is reduced to H2S by sulfate-reducing bacteria (Chapter 18). The initial step in assimilative sulfate reduction, used by...

Phosphatidylcholine As is the case with silymarin, there is a vast amount of information in the literature about this substance. Animal experiments have shown that the development of septal fibroses and the occurrence of cirrhosis could be prevented despite chronic alcohol consmnption. The studies available to date on cirrhotic patients provide insufiicient information, (s. p. 865)... 

Age and condition of animals. Young adult animals should be used. The eyes must be examined using fluorescein dye procedures at least 24 hours before application of the test substance. Animals showing preexisting comeal injury are to be eliminated. 

All substances, animate and inanimate, because they are made of atoms, exhibit diamagnetism. 

Remedies in traditional medicine consist of formulas prepared from various natural substances, animal and vegetable. The vegetable remedies account for about 90%, thus the name herbalists (Mganga). Great importance is attributed to the proper preparation of all herbal drugs, which are considered ineffective unless pretreated in a prescribed manner. These herbal remedies are either swallowed, rubbed into scarifications, poured into wounds, boiled and inhaled as fumes, splashed onto eyes, smoked in pipes or sniffed as snuff.

Test Bll is performed in vivo on mammals exposed to the test substance. Animals are killed at regular intervals, after treatment with colchicine. Samples of their bone marrow are taken and the chromosomes are studied as described above. 

Glycogen is the principal yeast glucidic reserve substance. Animal glycogen is similar in structure. It accumulates during the stationary phase in the form of spherical granules of about 40 xm in diameter.
