Cell identity in eukaryotes is controlled by transcriptional regulatory networks that define cell-type-specific gene expression. In the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans, transcriptional regulatory networks regulate epigenetic switching between two alternative cell states, 'white' and 'opaque', that exhibit distinct host
Rats were given 2,5-hexanediol, a metabolite of n-hexane, in the drinking water until they developed a marked degree of paresis over about 7 weeks and were then allowed to recover naturally. The time course and the manner of removal of
Rats were injected subcutaneously with 2,5-hexanedione (2,5-HD 2.6 m mol/kg) alone (HD group) or with 2,5-HD and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) (2.6 m mol/kg of each agent, HD&MEK group) or with 2,5-HD 2.6 m mol/kg and 5 times that dose

Diastereoselective reduction of diketones with Lactobacillus kefir DSM 20587 was examined. The reduction of both oxo-functions proceeded highly diastereoselectively. (2 R,5 R)-Hexanediol 3 was produced starting from (2,5)-hexanedione 1 in quantitative yields with enantiomeric excess >99% and diastereomeric excess >99%.

Male albino (Sprague Dawley) and pigmented (Norwegian Brown) rats received 1% 2,5-hexanediol (H) in their drinking water for 5 or 8 weeks, respectively. The rats were housed either in 12 h light (average 30 cd/cm2 inside cage) and 12 h
