  • This study evaluated the effects of D-ribose supplementation on exercise time in a hypoxic chamber. Eight healthy young males participated in experiments under all four different conditions; placebo+normoxic, placebo+hypoxic, ribose+normoxic, and ribose+hypoxic. Subjects took 1 g per 10 kg body weight of ribose dissolved in drinking water 30 minutes before and immediately before running. We observed the run-to-exhaustion time, the maximum heart rate, and the changing pattern of the heart rate during exercise. The longest running time was achieved when subjects ran under normoxic condition with ribose supplementation. The shortest running time occurred when subjects ran under hypoxic conditions without ribose supplementation. We measured MDA and GPx to determine any changes in oxidative stresses or antioxidative systems. MDA was affected by the environmental conditions and the running time. The activity of GPx showed a significant difference only with the different environmental conditions of exercise. The results of this study indicate that ribose can be considered a possible ergogenic during exercise in specific conditions, but more detailed and well-controlled studies are needed to make a definitive conclusion.

  • The use of L-carbohydrates and their corresponding nucleosides in medicinal application has greatly increased. For example L-ribose has been much in demand as the starting material for curing hepatitis B. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was studied for the analysis of ribose and arabinose fractions from ion exchange chromatography (IEC). Dowex Monosphere 99 Ca/320 resin was packed in IEC to separate ribose and arabinose under various operating conditions. $NH_{2}$ and sugar HPLC columns were then used to analyze the fractions from the IEC column. Pulse input method (PIM) was also used to measure adsorption isotherms of ribose and arabinose in the Dowex column and HPLC columns. Experimental results and simulations by ASPEN chromatography were compared with fair agreement.

  • SMB (simulated moving bed) chromatography is a very useful utility for the separation of binary system. We simulated the separation of L-arabinose and L-ribose from the mixture by using lab-scale 4(1-1-1-1)-zone SMB chromatography. Preliminary experiments of PIM (pulse input method) were performed to measure adsorption isotherms of L-ribose and L-arabinose in $NH_2$ HPLC column, and experimental and simulated results from ASPEN chromatography were compared. To find the most suitable separation condition in SMB, we carried out a simulation in $m_2-m_3$ plane base on the triangle theory and calculated operating parameters (flow rate of four zone, switching time and feed concentration and so on) using ASPEN chromatography under the conditions of linear isotherms obtained from PIM.

  • Background: ADP-ribosyl pyrophosphatases (ADPRase) has been known to catalyze the hydrolysis of ADP-ribose to ribose-5-phosphate and AMP. The role of ADPRase has been suggested to sanitize the cell by removing potentially toxic ADP-ribose. In this study, we examined the effect of nitric oxide on ADPRase activity in macrophages. Methods: ADPRase activity was measured in NO-inducing J774 cells. For in vitro experiments, recombinant human ADPRase was prepared in bacteria. Results: ADPRase activity was increased by the treatment of exogenous NO generating reagent, sodium nitroprusside (SNP), in J774 cells. The increased ADPRase activity was mediated by the post-translational modification, likely to cause cADP-ribosylation via nitrosylation of cysteine residue on the enzyme. The stimulation with endogeneous NO inducers, $TNF-{\alpha}/IFN-{\gamma}$, also increased ADPRase activity through NO synthesis. Futhermore, ADPRase activity may be mediated by the post-translational modification of ADPRase, ADP-ribosylation. Conclusion: These results indicate that NO synthesized by macrophage activation plays a critical role in the increase in ADPRase activity following ADP-ribose metabolism.

  • D-Ribose is a five-carbon sugar used for the commercial synthesis of riboflavin, antiviral agents, and flavor enhancers. Batch fermentations with transketolase-deficient B. subtilis JY1 were carried out to optimize the production of D-ribose from xylose. The best results for the fermentation were obtained with a temperature of $37^{\circ}C$ and an initial pH of 7.0. Among various sugars and sugar alcohols tested, glucose and sucrose were found to be the most effective for both cell growth and D-ribose production. The addition of 15 g/l xylose and 15 g/l glucose improved the fermentation performance, presumably due to the adequate supply of ATP in the xylose metabolism from D-xylulose to D-xylulose-5-phosphate. A batch culture in a 3.7-1 jar fermentor with 14.9 g/l xylose and 13.1 g/l glucose resulted in 10.1 g/l D-ribose concentration with a yield of 0.62 g D-ribose/g sugar consumed, and 0.25 g/l-h of productivity. Furthermore, the sugar utilization profile, indicating the simultaneous consumption of xylose and glucose, and respiratory parameters for the glucose and sucrose media suggested that the transketolase-deficient B. subtilis JY1 lost the glucose-specific enzyme II of the phosphoenolpyruvate transferase system.

  • Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize substrate conditions of ribose and hydrolyzed wheat gluten solution for Maillard reaction. Independent variables were NaCl concentration of hydrolyzed wheat gluten ($X_1$), concentration of ribose ($X_2$) and concentration of hydrolyzed wheat gluten ($X_3$), while the dependent variables of the central composite design (CCD) were browning index (absorbance 420 nm), DPPH radical scavenging activity (DF) and sensory preference (score). Optimum substrate conditions at $140^{\circ}C$, 30 min reaction were 3% NaCl concentration of hydrolyzed wheat gluten, 6.2% concentration of ribose and 13.27% concentration of hydrolyzed wheat gluten. The coefficients of determination ($R^2$) were 0.975, 0.960 and 0.854, the model fit was very significant (p<0.001). DPPH radical scavenging activities and sensory preferences were predicted as 700 (DF) and 8.42 (score), respectively. The model solution increased more browning and DPPH radical scavenging activities with increasing ribose and hydrolyzed wheat gluten concentration. Especially hydrolyzed wheat gluten concentration was the most influential factor, while NaCl concentration of hydrolyzed wheat gluten hardly affected the responses. Sensory preference was increased with rising wheat gluten concentration and decreasing NaCl concentration of hydrolyzed wheat gluten.

  • ${\small{D}}$-Ribose is a value-added five-carbon sugar used for riboflavin production. To investigate the effects of oxygen supply and mixed sugar concentration on microbial production of ${\small{D}}$-ribose, a transketolase-deficient Bacillus subtilis SPK1 was cultured batch-wise using xylose and glucose. A change of agitation speed from 300 rpm to 600 rpm at 1 vvm of air supply increased both the xylose consumption rate and ${\small{D}}$-ribose production rate. Because the sum of the specific consumption rates for xylose and glucose was similar at all agitation speeds, metabolic preferences between xylose and glucose might depend on oxygen supply. Although B. subtilis SPK1 can take up xylose and glucose by the active transport mechanism, a high initial concentration of xylose and glucose was not beneficial for high ${\small{D}}$-ribose production.

  • The present study was performed to clone and express human poly (ADP-ribose) synthetase (PARS) cDNA in E coli. For these purposes, the CDNA for human poly (ADP-ribose) synthetase, encoding the entire protein, was cloned into pGEM-7Zf(+). The resulting recombinant plasmid pPARS6.1 was restriction enzyme mapped and its identity was confirmed by Southern blot analysis. The pPARS6. 1 contained full-length CDNA of human PARS and the nudeotide sequences were identical with those reported previously. The recombinant protein which migrated as a unique 120 kDa band on 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gels, was identified as PARS by Southwestern blots using nick-translated DNA probes and by activity gels and activity blots using 32 P-NAD as a substrate for poly (ADP-ribose) synthetase (PARS). The signals corresponding to 120 and 98 kDa proteins were obtained following IPTG (0.4 mM) induction of the PARS cDNA cloned into Xba I-digested pGEM-7Zf(+) vector. Nonspecific signals corresponding to 45 and 38 kDa proteins were also shown in both IPTG-induced and noninduced cells. The nonspecific proteins may be products of incomplete translation or proteolytic products of intact PARS.

  • Mideoduck drips were mixed with amino acids (Met, Tau, Gly, Ala, Thr, Cys), thiamine and sugars (Glucose, Ribose) for flavor modification and evaluation using the Maillard reaction. To mask the seafood flavor, onions, spring onions, garlic, ginger, citric orange and green tea were mixed with Mideoduck drips at $160^{\circ}C$ for 2.5 hr in a stainless still reaction bomb. The glucose/thiamine model reaction system was estimated to be lower than the ribose/thiamine model system, and an extreme case is the ribose/Met model system. Mixed system of glucose, ribose and taurine containing sulfur compounds showed fair results. Among the Mideoduck drips mixed with sugars and amino groups, only thiamine model systems were estimated to be normal. The flavor composition of Mideoduck drips/sugars model system, and long chain fatty acids were composed of 31.32~62.71% total flavor content. The 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid dibutylester contents made up more than 20% of the model system in groups A, B and C. From the model system in this study, drip/glucose, drip/ribose, drip/glucose/citric orange, and drip/glucose/glycine/cystine groups showed most intense good flavor.

  • This study examined the relationships between protein expression and Poly ADP ribose polymerase in brain cell death in brains damaged by thrombotic stroke and treated with the Full Wave- Cockroft Walton (FWCW) method of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). The two-way switching element for TMS drove a half-bridge inverter of the current resonance of direct current voltage (+) and direct current voltage (-), and the experiment was conducted by stimulating the mice with thrombotic stroke through a range of pulses. Thrombotic stroke was caused of ligation of the common carotid artery of male SD mice, and blood reperfusion was conducted five minutes later. Protein expression was examined in immune reaction cells, which reacted to an antibody to Poly ADP ribose polymerase in the cerebrum cells, and western blotting. Observations of the PARP changes after thrombotic stroke showed that the number of Poly ADP ribose polymerase reactions were significantly lower (p < 0.05) in the group treated with TMS of the FWCW than the group with thrombotic stroke 24 hours after its onset. The application of FWCW-TMS helped prevent the necrosis of nerve cells and might prevent the brain damage that occurs as a result of thrombotic stroke, and improve the function recovery and disorder of brain cells.
