Oxidative and demethylating activity of multiple forms of laccase from Pholiota mutabilis.

1. The inducible and constitutive forms of laccase from the fungus Pholiota mutabilis show both the oxidative and demethylating activity, which proves the bifunctional character of the enzyme. 2. The oxidative/demethylating activity ratio of the forms induced either with ferulic or syringic acid is different from that shown by the constitutive form. 3. Splitting of one methoxyl group from the methoxyphenol substrate is associated with the release of one molecule of methanol.

Effect of inderal on insulin secretion, glycemia and FFA concentration in normal subjects and diabetics.

In 20 cases of adult-type diabetes and in 10 healthy controls insulinemia, glycemia and free acids concentration were determined under basal conditions, after glucose load and after administration of inderal and glucose. After intravenous injection of inderal basal insulinemia fell in controls but this fall was statistically not significant, while in diabetics no evident changes of insulinemia were observed. Following inderal injection and oral glucose a statistically significant drop in insulinemia was observed in controls but not in diabetics. In both groups inderal injection was without any significant effect on glycemia before as well as after glucose load. In both groups a significant decrease occurred in the level of free fatty acids and inderal had no effect on it.
