Characterization of a Low Affinity Thyroid Hormone Receptor Binding Site within the Rat GLUT4 Gene Promoter
(1997-03)Previous studies have demonstrated that thyroid hormone (T3) stimulates insulin-responsive glucose transporter (GLUT4) transcription and protein expression in rat skeletal muscle. The aim of the present study was to define ... -
The Bacteroides mobilizable transposon Tn4555 integrates by a site-specific recombination mechanism similar to that of the gram-positive bacterial element Tn916
(East Carolina University, 1997-04)The Bacteroides mobilizable transposon Tn4555 is a 12.2-kb molecule that encodes resistance to cefoxitin. Conjugal transposition is hypothesized to occur via a circular intermediate and is stimulated by coresident tetracycline ... -

A composition comprising nerve growth factor and 2-amino-1,1,3-tricyano-1-propene useful for the induction, stimulation, and maintenance of nerve growth, and methods of potentiating choline O-acetyltransferase and tyrosine hydroxylase by 2-amino-1,1,3-tricyano-1-propene are disclosed.
(1997-09-09)A composition comprising nerve growth factor and 2-amino-1,1,3-tricyano-1-propene useful for the induction, stimulation, and maintenance of nerve growth, and methods of potentiating choline O-acetyltransferase and tyrosine ... -
Clinical use of rifampicin during routine reporting of rifampicin susceptibilities: a lesson in selective reporting of antimicrobial susceptibility data
(1997-10)Increased use of rifampicin for in-patients was noted after the laboratory began reporting rifampicin susceptibilities routinely for all Gram-positive bacterial isolates. The appropriateness of rifampicin use was evaluated ... -
Regulation of Bacteriodes fragilis katB mRNA by oxidative stress and carbon limitation.
(East Carolina University, 1997-11)Regulation of the katB catalase gene in the anaerobic bacterium Bacteroides fragilis was studied. Northern blot hybridization analyses revealed that katB was transcribed as an approximately 1.6-kb monocistronic mRNA. The ... -
