Effect of Procedural Pain on Purines, MDA and Allantoin in Premature Infants
… the relationship between procedural pain, ATP utilization (hypoxanthine and uric acid), and oxidative stress (MDA and allantoin) in premature infants. Through these studies we found that 1) a single heel-lance significantly increases plasma uric acid in rabbit kits, 2) tape removal …

Regulation of Glycogenolysis in Anaerobic Skeletal Muscle
… demonstrated in intact tissue. Force-independent ATP utilization, primarily the Ca 2+ pump of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, preferentially uses ATP derived from glycogenolysis. ATP produced by creatine kinase is used mostly by force-dependent ATP consuming processes, primarily the actomyosin-ATPase. …

k-Opioid Receptor Dependent Cardioprotection in the Rat
… of myofibrillar proteins, leading to reduced ATP utilization by the <br />myofilaments.</p> <p> We tested this hypothesis by correlating post-ischemic contractile recovery and myofibrillar actomyosin Mg2+ATPase activity in isolated rat hearts. Pre-ischemic treatment with the k-opioid receptor …

Anoxia tolerant hepatocytes : a model system for the study of metabolic and channel arrest
… cell staining, LDH leakage, and cellular [ATP] was unchanging, but the rate of ATP turnover decreased by 90%. The microcalorimetrically measured heat flux from hepatocytes in suspension (25°C) decreased by 76% in response to anoxia. To account for the difference between the two measurements …

Signal Processing in Bacterial Chemotaxis
<p>This study localized 1) the site of ATP utilization in the signal transduction pathway of bacterial chemotaxis and 2) the point of convergence of the methylation-independent systems of chemotaxis with the methylation-dependent system. The site of ATP utilization was localized at the CheY …

Contractile Performance and Energy Utilization of Skeletal Muscle; Creatine Kinase and Acto-myosin ATPase
… as an energy buffer assisting in regulating ATP homeostasis through synthesis of ATP from ADP and phosphocreatine (PCr). This enzyme is bound in the sarcomere near sites of ATP consumption via acto-myosin ATPase (A‧M‧ATPase) and research in cardiac muscle has found that PCr can alter …

Learning the ABC's of Ribose Transport Using Biophysical Methods
<p>ATP-binding cassette transporters comprise a large superfamily of proteins that are involved in a variety of biological phenomenon, from bacterial metabolism to cellular homeostasis, antigen-presentation, and drug resistance. These proteins are implicated in a variety of clinically relevant …
