Protein-energy malnutrition alters theophylline effect on DNA synthesis in neonatal rat brain in vitro. 1984

G E Quinby, and T Nakamoto

The rate of incorporation of [3H]-thymidine into DNA in whole brain in response to various concentrations of theophylline was studied in normal and malnourished neonatal rats in vitro. Malnutrition appeared to produce an increased sensitivity to theophylline. [3H]-Thymidine uptake was significantly increased in normally nourished animals at a concentration of 2 X 10(-4) mol/l (36 micrograms/ml), while malnourished animals showed a similar effect at 1 X 10(-4) mol/l (18 micrograms/ml). These data suggest that the nutritional status of a growing organ could be important determining the cellular effects of conventionally dosed theophylline under clinical conditions.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
