Type II diabetes and pre-diabetes are widely prevalent among adults. Elevated serum glucose levels are commonly treated by targeting hepatic gluconeogenesis for downregulation. However, direct measurement of hepatic gluconeogenic capacity is accomplished only via tracer metabolism approaches that rely on

1. The structures of the alpha(2)- and alpha(3)-azopigments, prepared by diazotization of dog bile with ethyl anthranilate, were shown by mass spectrometry and g.l.c. to correspond to azobilirubin beta-d-xylopyranoside and azobilirubin beta-d-glucopyranoside respectively. 2. Both azopigments consist of a mixture

S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is the methyl-donor substrate for DNA and histone methyltransferases that regulate epigenetic states and subsequent gene expression. This metabolism-epigenome link sensitizes chromatin methylation to altered SAM abundance, yet the mechanisms that allow organisms to adapt and protect epigenetic

Polyethylenimine (750 kDa) has been derivatized to influence the proton sponge mechanism and hydrophobic-hydrophilic balance. The polymer was acylated using acid anhydrides of varying carbon chain length, followed by cross-linking with PEG-bis-P to form compact nanoparticles. The chemical linkages in
