The ATP-regulated potassium (KATP) channel plays an essential role in the control of insulin release from the pancreatic beta-cell. In the present study we have used the patch-clamp technique to study the direct effects of alpha-ketoisocaproate on the KATP channel

A wind tunnel bioassay and video to observe mosquitoes landing on heated glass cylinders were used to test sweat and some derivatives for responses of Anopheles gambiae Giles (Diptera: Culicidae), a highly anthropophilic African species of malaria vector. Filter papers
Metabolism: clinical and experimental, 52(1), 50-59 (2003-01-14)
In this study, we concurrently examined the effects of 8 and 40 weeks of growth hormone replacement (GHR) on lipids, lipoprotein composition, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) size, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) apolipoprotein (apo)B kinetics and LDL apoB kinetics. Eight weeks of GHR

Whole cell extracts of culture epimastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi (Tulahuén strain) have alpha-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase activity which catalyzes the NAD-linked reaction alpha-ketoacid in equilibrium with alpha-hydroxyacid, with a variety of substrates. Two molecular forms of the enzyme have been separated by
Journal of chromatography, 430(2), 223-231 (1988-09-09)
A simple and highly sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the determination of alpha-keto acids in human serum and urine is described. In an acidic solution, twelve species of alpha-keto acids examined were converted by reaction with 1,2-diamino-4,5-methylenedioxy-benzene into
