The urinary excretion of the nucleosides pseudouridine and 1-methylinosine during normal menstrual cycle. 1977

H Lehtiö, and P H Mäenpää

The excretion levels of the nucleosides pseudouridine and 1-methylinosine were determined by gas-liquid chromatography in 24-h urine specimens from young women during normal menstrual cycle. These nucleosides are derived primarily from transfer RNA and their excretion reflects the turnover of tRNA. The excretion levels were found to be essentially unaltered by the cycle and the average excretion values with standard deviations were 0.70 +/- 0.078 and 0.051 +/- 0.011 mg/kg/24 h for pseudouridine and 1-methylinosine, respectively.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007288	Inosine	A purine nucleoside that has hypoxanthine linked by the N9 nitrogen to the C1 carbon of ribose. It is an intermediate in the degradation of purines and purine nucleosides to uric acid and in pathways of purine salvage. It also occurs in the anticodon of certain transfer RNA molecules. (Dorland, 28th ed)
D008598	Menstruation	The periodic shedding of the ENDOMETRIUM and associated menstrual bleeding in the MENSTRUAL CYCLE of humans and primates. Menstruation is due to the decline in circulating PROGESTERONE, and occurs at the late LUTEAL PHASE when LUTEOLYSIS of the CORPUS LUTEUM takes place.
D008722	Methods	A series of steps taken in order to conduct research.	Techniques,Methodological Studies,Methodological Study,Procedures,Studies, Methodological,Study, Methodological,Method,Procedure,Technique
D011560	Pseudouridine	A naturally-occurring isomer of URIDINE found in RNA, in which ribosyl is attached to a carbon instead of a nitrogen atom.
D002849	Chromatography, Gas	Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
