Article Abstract
Changes in brain glucose metabolism occur in many neurological disorders as well as during aging. Most studies on the uptake of glucose in the brain use positron emission tomography, which requires injection of a radioactive tracer. Our study shows that ultra-high-field H-MRS can be used to measure α-D-glucose at 5.22 ppm in vivo, and the α-D-glucose can be used as a radiation-free tracer in the human brain.

Increased Ribosome Biogenesis and Increased Oxidative Stress in Blood Leukocytes of Patients With Catatonic Schizophrenia Compared With Paranoid Schizophrenia.

Background: Schizophrenia (SZ) is associated with chronic oxidative stress in the patient's body. Previous studies revealed an increased copy number of genes for 47S pre-ribosomal RNA (pre-rRNA) in SZ patients. In this study, levels of oxidative stress and factors involved in the adaptive response to chronic stress (rDNA transcription) were, for the first time, compared in blood cells of patients with catatonic SZ(C) and paranoid SZ(P), chronic forms of schizophrenia, as well as healthy controls (HC).

N-terminal acetylation is a prevalent co-translational modification in eukaryotes, affecting ∼80 % of human cytosolic proteins. Catalyzed by N-terminal acetyltransferases (NATs), this irreversible modification regulates protein stability, localization, and interactions. Despite its importance, high-throughput, non-radioactive methods to study NAT activity remain limited.

Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is a key glycolytic enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to pyruvate, producing ATP in the final step of glycolysis. Unlike other isoforms, PKM2 is uniquely regulated, shifting between active tetramers and less active dimers to balance energy production with biosynthetic demands. This flexibility is exploited in cancer cells to support the Warburg effect and anabolic growth.

Tritium (H), an isotope of hydrogen, is a by-product of the nuclear industry. Decommissioning and normal operations of nuclear facilities can generate tritiated stainless-steel particles (T-SSPs) that could be unintentionally released into the environment. Considering tritium's physicochemical properties and the proximity of nuclear facilities to water bodies, assessing the behaviour and potential effects of these particles in the aquatic environment is imperative.

Background: In murine models, controversial data have been reported on the effect of hydrogen sulfide (HS) administration during resuscitation from trauma-and-hemorrhage. The HS donor sodium thiosulfate (NaSO) is a recognized drug devoid of major side effects, and, hence, we determined its effects in our full scale ICU-model of resuscitated murine trauma-and-hemorrhage. We hypothesized that NaSO might improve energy metabolism and thereby exert organ-protective effects as previously demonstrated in animals with genetic cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE) deletion (CSE).
