BACKGROUND Maternal hypothyroidism during pregnancy can cause adverse effects in the
fetus. Scientific evidence has shown that probable thyroid-like function of some phthalates …

Plants synthesize the osmoprotectant glycine betaine via the route choline → betaine
aldehyde → glycine betaine. In spinach, the first step is catalyzed by choline monooxygenase (…

It has been speculated that maternal phthalate exposure may affect reproductive development
in human newborns. However, the mechanism awaits further investigation. The aim is to …

Background: Few studies have shown an association between prenatal phthalate exposure
and adverse effects on neurodevelopment and behavior in young children. Objectives: We …

The objective of this study was to search for brain-specific binding proteins that participated
in Aβ aggregation. Immunoprecipitation of Aβ in Alzheimer's brain homogenate revealed a …

BACKGROUND Phthalates are known to have estrogenic effects in cell models and
experimental animals. However, the evidence regarding the effects of phthalates on human …

Experiments were conducted to determine whether sucrose synthase (SuSy) was
phosphorylated in the elongation zone of maize (Zea mays L.) leaves. The approximately 90-kD …

A solid-phase extraction (SPE)–liquid chromatography (LC)–mass spectrometry (MS) method
was developed to concentrate and detect nine cyanotoxins simultaneously, including six …

A rapid, picomole-scale method is described to locate phosphorylation sites in phosphoproteins
by using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (…

The inhibitor protein (IP) that inactivates spinach leaf NADH:nitrate reductase (NR) has been
identified for the first time as a member of the eukaryotic 14‐3‐3 protein family based on …
