Transport of cadmium ions across model supported phospholipid membranes
Navrátil, Tomáš ; Šestáková, Ivana ; Mareček, Vladimír ; Štulík, Karel
These results report on experiments focussed on the formation of supported model phospholipid membranes, formed from phosphatidyl choline in the micrometric pores of hydrophilic polycarbonate supports, their chatacterization using voltammetry and electrochemical impendance spectrometry (EIS). Attention was paid transport of heavy metal ions (ions of cadmium, etc.) across these membranes in the presence or absence of ionophores (valinomysing and calciomycin) or in the presence of oxalic acid. The impact of some parameters on these systems and processes was investigated.

Suplementace kreatinu u sportovce s hyperhomocysteinemií
Kohlíková, E. ; Petr, M. ; Navrátil, Tomáš ; Přistoupilová, K. ; Přistoupil, T. I. ; Pelclová, D. ; Žák, J. ; Heyrovský, Michael
One month's administration of creatine (CR) in the dose of 5 g/day to 11 young active sportsmen affected their daily amount of CR and creatinine excreted into urine. The probands were divided into 4 groups, according to the amount of CR found in urine, and of folates and of vitamin B12 determined in blood. The ganges of folates and vitamin B12 were mutually reciprocal. Each group utilized CR as donor of one- and two-carbon (1C and 2C) units by means of homocysteine (HoCySH), folates, and vitamin B12, in different metabolic pathways. In 10 men the CR administration was accompanied by an increase of HoCySH level in blood, while for the last man, with accidentally discovered hyperhomocysteinemia, after the month's CR administration the HoCySH level dropped by 50 %.

Studium transportu iontů přes modelové fosfolipidové membrány
Navrátil, Tomáš ; Šestáková, Ivana ; Mareček, Vladimír
Synthetically prepared model phospholipid bilayers (PLBs) in the form of black membranes, vesicles or supported membranes, with incorporated ionophores or real ion channels (i.e., artificially synthesized or gained from real living cells, e.g. protoplasts) are promising for study and simulations of transporting processes across the real cell membranes and the membranes surrounding sub-cellular structures. The electrochemical methods were found to be very suitable and sensitive enough for characterization of such processes.

Přenos kadmia přes biologické membrány
Šestáková, Ivana ; Navrátil, Tomáš
From complexing ligands, low molecular weight organic acids are important as plant exudates in soil solution, whereas sulfur containing - ligands phytochelatins - sequester Cd2+ inside the cell vacuole. Voltammetrically determined fytochelatins concentration could be correlated with total Cd concentration found in different parts of plant.

Význam lipidů v metabolismu tuků
Kohlíková, E. ; Petr, M. ; Přistoupilová, K. ; Přistoupil, T. I. ; Pelclová, D. ; Žák, J. ; Heyrovský, Michael ; Navrátil, Tomáš
In course of last two years we compared values of 34 parameters, obtained from 11 young active sportsmen given 5 g of creatine (CR) daily during 1 month. Among these parameters were the products of metabolic pathways, the changes of which are connected with the development of atherosclerosis. This holds for the levels of cholesterol (CH), triacylglycerols (TAG) and homocysteine (HoCySH), and for the levels of vitamin B12 and of folates in blood.
