Whole time-course studies

By integrating the rate equation it should be possible to obtain a mathematical description of the entire time course of a reaction. Conversely it is evident that in measuring only the initial rate of a reaction one is discarding a large amount of information. Various attempts have been made to use integrated rate equations in order to obtain the kinetic parameters for enzymatic reactions [e.g. 71-75] but only with enzymes which had previously been studied by the initial-rate method. The integrated-rate equation has not found favour as a primary analytical tool, despite

To reduce the false positive rate or false negative rate, the gene-sp>ecific variance is shrinking towards a common value estimated from the whole gene set, known as moderation. (Tai Speed, 2005) One example about the application of moderation to microarray time course is performed by Tai and Speed. (Tai Speed, 2006) They derived the MB- and -statistic for one-sample or two-sample problem in the scenario of longitudinal microarray time course study, taking into consideration about the correlation across times. In detail, MB-statistic is the log 10 of the posterior odds whether the null or alternative hypothesis is true. When the number of replicates is equal for all genes, the MB-statistic imder the null hypothesis is... 

The action of (+)-methysticin and (+)-kavain on voltage-generated Na channels was studied in whole-cell patch-clamped CAl hippocampal neurons. In doses of 1-400 J.M, both compounds exerted a rapid and reversible inhibition of the peak amplitude of Na currents. Shifting of the holding membrane potential (Vj gy) to more positive values enhanced their blocking effects. The two compounds did not demonstrate use-dependent properties at 10 Hz stimulation but shifted h curve toward more negative potentials, accelerated time-course of inactivation, and slowed down the recovery from inactivation. Furthermore, compared to (+)-kavain, (+)-methysticin was about a four- to five-fold more potent blocker of peak current amplitude at different values and caused a... 

However, foUowing enrichment of the cells with exogenous cholesterol or incubation with 0.1 mM chlorpromazine [156], the whole of the cholesterol pool becomes available to the cholesterol oxidase. This means that the time-course of cholesterol oxidation can be determined and hence the rate of flip-flop. Based on such studies, a half-time of less than 3 sec at 37°C has been found for transposition of cholesterol across the bilayers [157]. These studies have also been extended to probe features of lipid-cholesterol organisation in the human erythrocyte membrane [158]. Clearly, such studies are relevant to our understanding of the mechanisms of cholesterol loss from cells in vivo by the methods outhned earlier. 

ADME studies. Twelve cows were administered two doses of " C-pirlimycin at a dose rate of 200 mg/quarter into all 4 quarters at a 24-hour interval. This dose rate was selected as the highest potential dose rate before the final efficacious dose of 50 mg/quarter had been firmly established. This treatment rate thus resulted in a 4-fold overdose. Blood, milk, urine and feces were collected at various times following the first dose. Combustion analysis of whole blood produced the time course of total residue, as illustrated in Figure 3 for three of the cows. There was a slow absorption of pirlimycin across the udder membrane/blood barrier with maximum concentrations occurring in the 6- to 12-hour posttreatment period. The terminal depletion of the... 

In these studies, after the injection of Fe-transferrin, it is necessary to measure the time course of Fe activity both in plasma and in whole blood. The assay of plasma Fe activity becomes critical after the first day of study, since, after 24 hours, less than 1% of the injected dose is still present in the plasma. On the other hand, in order to derive...
