Cross-Functioning between the Extraneuronal Monoamine Transporter and Multidrug...
Costa, Vera Marisa; Ferreira, Luísa Maria; Branco, Paula Sério; Carvalho, Félix; Bastos, Maria Lourdes; Carvalho, Rui Albuquerque; Carvalho, MárciaIsolated heart cells are highly susceptible to the toxicity of catecholamine oxidation products, namely, to catecholamine-glutathione adducts. Although cellular uptake and/or efflux of these products may constitute a crucial step, the knowledge about the involvement of transporters is still very scarce. This work aimed to contribute to the characterization of membrane transport mechanisms, namely, extraneuronal...
Estimating gluconeogenesis by NMR isotopomer distribution analysis of [13 C]bic...
Alves, Tiago Cardoso; Nunes, Patrícia Maria; Palmeira, Carlos Marques; Jones, John Griffith; Carvalho, Rui AlbuquerqueThe gluconeogenic contribution to glucose production in livers isolated from rats fasted for 24 h was determined by 13C-NMR isotopomer distribution analysis of secreted glucose enriched from 99% [13C]bicarbonate (n = 4) and 99% [1-13C]lactate (n = 4). Experiments with 3% 2H2O were also performed, allowing the gluconeogenic contribution to be measured by the relative 2H enrichments at positions 5 and 2 of glucos...
Oxidation Process of Adrenaline in Freshly Isolated Rat Cardiomyocytes: Formati...
Costa, Vera Marisa; Silva, Renata; Ferreira, Luísa Maria; Branco, Paula Sério; Carvalho, Félix; Bastos, Maria Lourdes; Carvalho, Rui AlbuquerqueHigh concentrations of circulating biogenic catecholamines often exist during the course of several cardiovascular disorders. Additionally, coronary dysfunctions are prominent and frequently related to the ischemic and reperfusion phenomenon (I/R) in the heart, which leads to the release of large amounts of catecholamines, namely adrenaline, and to a sustained generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Thus, ...
Molecular modelling and 1H-NMR: ultimate tools for the investigation of tolbuta...
Veiga, Francisco José Baptista; Fernandes, Catarina Marques; Carvalho, Rui Albuquerque; Geraldes, Carlos Frederico Gusmão CamposA structural study of the inclusion compound of tolbutamide (TBM) with beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) and hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) was attempted by means of 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) experiments and computer molecular modelling. To establish the stoichiometry and stability constant of the beta-CD:TBM complex, the continuous variation method was used. The presence of true inclusion ...
