Application

Glycine was used for preparing platelets from whole-blood samples and study the stimulation of cytokine expression in leukocytes. It was used for biochemical and tolerance tests.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glycine has a pivotal role in lowering the plasma lipid levels in diabetic and obese patients by activating the CNS. During brain hypoxia glycine can stabilize the energetics disturbances in brain mitochondria. It also increases the in vitro development of porcine blastocysts when used along with glucose.

Dysregulation of hepatic triglyceride (TG)-rich very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL-TG) in obesity and type 2 diabetes contributes to the dyslipidemia that leads to cardiovascular morbidity. The central nervous system (CNS), particularly the hypothalamus, regulates hepatic lipid metabolism. Although the underlying neurocircuitry

Activated platelets tether and activate myeloid leukocytes. To investigate the potential relevance of this mechanism in acute myocardial infarction (AMI), we examined cytokine induction by leukocyte-platelet adhesion and the occurrence of leukocyte-platelet conjugates in patients with AMI.

"Campylobacter pyloridis" has been recently described as a gastritis-associated bacterium. We studied 20 strains. The bacteria had most of the characteristics of Campylobacter spp. strains. They were hippurate negative and tolerant to triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (at 0.4 and 1 mg/ml).
