Synthesis degradation

A variety of 3,6-disubstituted pyridazines have been quatemized and the structures of the salts determined by unambiguous synthesis, degradation, or reactivity, On the basis of these data the following...

Acute exposure to large amounts of endosulfan results in frank effects manifested as hyperactivity, muscle tremors, ataxia, and convulsions. Possible mechanisms of toxicity include (a) alteration of neurotransmitter levels in brain areas by affecting synthesis, degradation, and/or rates of release and reuptake, and/or (b) interference with the binding of those neurotransmitter to their receptors. 

The term pharmacodynamics encompasses all the processes that influence the relationship between drug concentration and resulting effects. Psychotropic drugs have a wide variety of targets within neuro transmitter systems, including neurotransmitter synthesis, degradation of enzymes, storage, receptors, and specific transporter proteins. 

A variety of different methodologies has been employed to investigate the neurotransmitter systems involved in control of behavioral states. Biochemical experiments have elucidated the pathways and enzymes involved in the synthesis, degradation, release and reuptake of different neurotransmitters. Immuno-histochemical techniques have allowed the visualization of their cellular and sub-cellular distribution throughout the nervous system as well as the distribution of their receptors and uptake systems. Chemical sampling techniques, including...

A number of central metabolic pathways are common to most cells and organisms. These pathways, which serve for synthesis, degradation, and interconversion of important metabolites, and also for energy conservation, are referred to as the intermediary metabolism. 

Cyclical synthesis/degradation of proteins in cells. Schimke treated the rate of protein synthesis as a zero-order process and the rate of protein degradation as a first-order reaction ... 

This chapter deals with reactions involved in DNA synthesis, degradation, repair, and recombination. The chief points to remember are as follows.

It was just stated that protein turnover has anabolic and catabolic arms. In a subject in a steady metabolic state, these are exactly equal. It may then be of interest to determine the absolute rates of protein synthesis/degradation. Individual protein turnover rates may be expressed in terms of half-lives (tiy) or fractional catabolic rates or simply in terms of grams protein synthesized and degraded per unit time. The same parameters can be derived for whole-body protein turnover.

The human body tunts over about 800 mg of cholesterol per day. Most of this turnover (synthesis, degradation, or loss from the body) inv olves bile salts. More specifically, about 400 mg cholesterol is used to manufacture new bile salts to replace those that have been lost in the feces. About 80 mg cholesterol is lost through the skin about 50 mg is used for synthesis of steroid hormones. Cholestyramine can stimulate the loss of much more than the equivalent of 400 mg, and can produce clinically significant decreases in serum cholesterol Cholestyramine alone does not drastically lower serum cholesterol, because the liver senses any depletion and responds by increasing its rate of cholesterol biosynthesis. However, use of the drug in combination with other drugs that Inhibit...
