    Abnormal low density lipoprotein metabolism in apolipoprotein E deficiency

    No full text
    Apolipoprotein(apo) E deficiency is an inherited disease characterized by type III hyperlipoproteinemia and less than 1% normal plasma apoE concentration. The role of apoE in LDL metabolism was investigated by quantitating the metabolism of radiolabeled normal and apoE-deficient LDL in both normal and apoE-deficient subjects. ApoE deficiency resulted in an accumulation of plasma IDL, and a decreased synthesis of LDL consistent with a block in the conversion of IDL to LDL. The LDL isolated from the apoE-deficient patient was similar to normal LDL in hydrated density, size, and composition. However, the apoE-deficient LDL was kinetically abnormal with delayed catabolism in both normal subjects and the apoE-deficient patient. In addition, the catabolism of normal LDL in the apoE-deficient subject was increased. These results were interpreted as indicating that apoE is necessary for the conversion of IDL to LDL and the formation of kinetically normal LDL. The rapid catabolism of normal LDL in the apoE-deficient patient suggests an up-regulation of the hepatic LDL receptor pathway. Based on these results, apoE is proposed to play an important role in the conversion of IDL to LDL, the formation of kinetically normal LDL, and the regulation of LDL receptor functio

    Timing and extent of late pleistocene glaciation in the arid central andes of Argentina and Chile (22°-41°s)

    The arid Central Andes are a key site to study changes in intensity and movement of the three main atmospheric circulation systems over South America: the South American Summer Monsoon (SASM), the Westerlies and the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO). In this semi-arid to arid region glaciers are particularly sensitive to precipitation changes and thus the timing of past glaciation is strongly linked to changes in moisture supply. Surface exposure ages from study sites between 41° and 22°S suggest that glaciers advanced: i) prior to the global Last Glacial Maximum (gLGM) at ~40 ka in the mid (26°-30°S) and southern Central Andes (35°-41°S), ii) in phase with the gLGM in the northern and southern Central Andes and iii) during the late-glacial in the northern Central Andes. Deglaciation started synchronous with the global rise in atmospheric CO2concentration and increasing temperature starting at ~18 ka. The pre-gLGM glacial advances likely document enhanced precipitation related to the Southern Westerlies, which shifted further to the North at that time than previosuly assumed. During the gLGM glacial advances were favored by decreased temperatures in combination with increased humidity due to a southward shifted Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and SASM. During the late-glacial a substantial increase in moisture can be explained by enhanced upper tropospheric easterlies as response to an intensified SASM and sustained La Niña-like conditions over the eastern equatorial Pacific that lead to glacial advances in the northern Central Andes and the lake level highstand Tauca (18-14 ka) on the Altiplano. In the southernmost Central Andes at 39º-41°S, further north at 31°S and in the northernmost Central Andes at 22°S glacial remnants even point to precipitation driven glaciations older than ~115 ka and 260 ka.Fil: Zech, Jana.

    An exile in Buenos Aires: The stroll in the Argentinean works of Paul Zech (1933-1946)

    No full text
    En 1933 el escritor alemán Paul Zech debe huir de Alemania y refugiarse en Buenos Aires, donde vivirá hasta su muerte en 1946. Allí tendrá una intensa actividad literaria, llevada adelante en difíciles condiciones de vida, tanto en cuanto a su condición misma de exiliado, como por sus cambiantes y conflictivos vínculos al interior de la colectividad alemana. En esta obra, una inclinación a la caminata por la ciudad nos muestra una imagen de la Argentina de la década de 1930 desde el novedoso punto de vista de un autor exiliado en estas tierras.En este trabajo nos preguntamos cómo se constituye en la obra argentina de Zech el paseo en el exilio (si acaso es posible el paseo en el exilio) y cómo se recorta, por sus particularidades, de los otros registros urbanos escritos «a pie» en su misma época (Benjamin, Kracauer).In 1933 the German writer Paul Zech had to flee from Germany and go into exile in Buenos Aires, where he would live until his death in 1946. There, he would have an intense literary activity, carried out under difficult living conditions, both because of his condition as an exile and because of his changing and con-flictive links within the German community. Within Zech’s works during these years, an inclination to walk around the city shows us an image of Argentina in the 1930s from the novel point of view of an author exiled in these lands.In this work we inquire how the strollin exile (whether it is possible to stroll in exile) is constituted in Zech’s Argentinean work and how it is cut out, due to its particularities, from the other urban records written «by foot» in his same period (Benjamin, Kracauer).Fil: Sufotinsky Reynoso, Eric Tomás.

    Determination of ecologically relevant pools for soil organic matter stability in terra firme oxisols.

    O aumento do teor de matéria orgânica do solo (SOM) é um fator importante no melhoramento da fertilidade. A quantidade de carbono orgânico no solo é ecologicamente importante tanto para a estabilidade da SOM quanto em relação às propriedades físicas e químicas do solo. A técnica apropriada para acessar os "pools" ecologicamente relevantes do solo pode variar entre os diferentes solos e, esta informação não existe para os oxisolos na bacia Amazônica. Este trabalho tem como objetivo identificar os "pools" no solo que são sensiveis à mudança do uso da terra em oxisolos de terra firme e facilitar as técnicas para avaliação das propriedades da SOM. Para esta finalidade, nós estudamos a influência de 10 diferentes árvores e culturas anuais sobre as propriedades da SOM em oxisolos na região de Manaus. A combinação do fracionamento de agregados por tamanho e por densidade mostrou ser a melhor técnica para a caracterização física da SOM. A matéria orgânica particulada (POM, densidade menor que 1.6 g cm-3) varia em ordem de magnitude entre as diferentes áreas e pode ser usado como um indicador sensível das mudanças do uso da terra. Os resultados obtidos são extremamente importantes para a avaliação da sustentabilidade dos sistemas de uso da terra estudados e são a base para pesquisas ecológicas em oxisolos de terra firme
