Factors affecting the production of eremofortin C and PR toxin in Penicillium roqueforti.
Chang, S C, Wei, Y H, Wei, D L, Chen, Y Y, Jong, S C
Eremofortin C (EC) and PR toxin are secondary metabolites of Penicillium roqueforti. Of 17 strains from the American Type Culture Collection that were studied for their ability to produce EC and PR...
Giovannini, M, Biegel, J A, Serra, M, Wang, J Y, Wei, Y H, Nycum, L, ...
We have determined the frequency of EWS fusion transcripts in a series of primary Ewing's sarcomas and peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors and cells lines. Type 1 and 2 EWS-Fli1 fusions were...
Altered mitochondrial function in fibroblasts containing MELAS or MERRF mitochondrial DNA mutations.
James, A M, Wei, Y H, Pang, C Y, Murphy, M P
A number of human diseases are caused by inherited mitochondrial DNA mutations. Two of these diseases, MELAS (mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes) and...
The unusual structures of the hot-regions flanking large-scale deletions in human mitochondrial DNA.
Large-scale deletions of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are common events that have been found to occur in human ageing and in patients with mitochondrial myopathies. The mechanisms by which these...
Increase of mitochondria and mitochondrial DNA in response to oxidative stress in human cells.
Lee, H C, Yin, P H, Lu, C Y, Chi, C W, Wei, Y H
Mitochondrial respiratory function is impaired in the target tissues of patients with mitochondrial diseases and declines with age in various human tissues. It is generally accepted that...
LoBrutto, R, Wei, Y H, Yoshida, S, Van Camp, H L, Scholes, C P, King, T E
By the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique, recovery kinetics for nitric oxide (NO) to heme following cryogenic photolysis were studied for the nitrosylferrocytochrome a3 center in...

About 10% of gastric carcinomas including lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma and adenocarcinoma are associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. In EBV-associated gastric carcinomas, the tumor...
Compensatory elevation of complex II activity in Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy.
Yen, M Y, Lee, H C, Liu, J H, Wei, Y H
AIMS: To evaluate the mitochondrial respiratory enzyme activities in blood cells of Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) with 11778 point mutation of mitochondrial DNA. METHODS: Assays for the...
Hong, C Y, Chiang, B N, Wei, Y H
Three inhibitors of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, rotenone, antimycin A, potassium cyanide and the uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation, 2,4-dinitrophenol, were tested for their sperm...
Calcium antagonists stimulate sperm motility in ejaculated human semen.
Hong, C Y, Chiang, B N, Ku, J, Wei, Y H, Fong, J C
Three calcium antagonists, diltiazem, flunarizine and verapamil stimulated human sperm motility in vitro. Among them, diltiazem induced the largest amplitude of motility increase. The...
Involvement of calcium in the caffeine stimulation of human sperm motility.
Hong, C Y, Chiang, B N, Wu, P, Wei, Y H, Fong, J C
The shape of the concentration-response curve and the amplitude of maximal motility increase for the stimulatory effect of caffeine on human sperm motility were similar to those of EGTA, a calcium...
