Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Carnitine is an essential molecule for the transfer of long chain fatty acids through the inner mitochondrial membrane, for beta-oxidation (1). The long chain fatty acids provide a large proportion of the energy requirement of the myocardium. Thus, adequate amounts of tissue carnitine are required to maintain the normal function of the myocardium (2). Experimental studies on acute myocardial ischemia and clinical investigations of patients with congestive cardiac failure have indicated that the myocardial carnitine content was significantly lowered in both conditions, in contrast to raised or normal blood carnitine (3-5). In the present study, alterations in serum carnitine levels …

The Use Of A Nonradioactive Digoxigenin Labeled Probe For Detection Of Apo(A) Gene Size, Yeşi̇m İlçöl, Bülent İlçöl, Yavuz Taga

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] concentrations are associated with premature coronary heart disease and early myocardial infarction. In the general human population the sizes of apolipoprotein [apo(a)] isoforms are inversely associated with lipoprotein(a) levels. Large isoforms are associated with low Lp (a) and small isoforms with high Lp(a) in the plasma. The size of the polymophism is directly correlated with the number of kringle-4 domains in apo(a). It has been shown by quantitative Southern blotting, and more recently by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, that polymophism is the result of differences in the number of tandem kringle-4 repeats in the apo(a) gene.

Establishment Of A Nonradioactive Molecular Diagnosis Of Fragile-X Syndrome, Zehra Oya Uyguner, Bernd Wollnik, Hülya Kayseri̇li̇, Turgut Tükel, Seher Başaran, Memnune Yüksel Apak

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Fragile-X syndrome is a hereditary dynamic mutation disorder, predominantly caused by a large expansion of CGG trinucleotide repeats in the FMR 1 gene leading to methylation and down regulation of transcription of the gene. For the molecular diagnosis of the disease, the repeat locus in FMR 1 gene is primarily detected by Southern blotting with radioactively labeled probes. Unusually GC rich composition of the expanded region caused technical difficulties during PCR based testing and therefore is not performed by most diagnostic laboratories. We established a Southern blot method and a novel PCR protocol which enables the amplification of normal, premutated …

Telomeric Repeats Of Immortal Hamster Cells, Nedi̇me Serakinci, Jorn Koch Jan 2000

Telomeric Repeats Of Immortal Hamster Cells, Nedi̇me Serakinci, Jorn Koch

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

We have analyzed telomeres in four hamster cell lines to investigate how telomeres look in cells grown past the Hayflick limit. In all four cell lines telomeric signals were seen after detection with two different sensitive in situ methods (FISH with PNA probes and PRINS). The telomeric signals were not very strong, suggesting that the repeats are very short, but were nevertheless clearly visible. With the PRINS technique, it was further possible to probe also for the presence of variant telomeric repeats at the chromosome ends. With some of the variant repeat probes, a difference was seen between probes for …
