Isolation and Characterization of Protoplasts and their Utilization for Model Membrane
Nováková, Kateřina ; Navrátil, Tomáš ; Šestáková, Ivana ; Langmaier, Jan ; Heyrovský, Michael ; Zámečníková, B. ; Vodičková, H.
Protoplasts are prepared form plant cells by removing their cell walls, which are usually destroyed mechanically or by enzymes. Protoplasts exhibit the spherical shape after removing of their cell walls. They can be isolated from a range of plant tissues: leaves, stems, roots, anthers, and even pollen. Plasmatic membranes surrounding protoplasts can be used as a source of model membranes. Therefore, some parts of plasmatic membranes or subcellular organelle membranes, which contain specific transport systems, can be isolated and integrated to model phospholipid membranes. State of such model membranes can be characterized by electrochemical impedance spectrometry (EIS) and the transported species can be determined with the use of voltammetric methods.

DOES ONE MONTH CREATINE SUPPLEMENTATION IMPROVE BLOOD LIPIDS?
Kohlíková, E. ; Petr, M. ; Navrátil, Tomáš ; Heyrovský, Michael ; Přistoupilová, K. ; Přistoupil, T. I.
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 excreted into urine, and the levels of cholesterol (CH), of triacylglycerols (TAG), of vitamin B12 and of folates in blood. The probands were divided into 4 groups, according to the amount of CR found in urine, and of folates and vitamin B12 determined in blood. It is possible that added CR might induce individually higher offer of 2C units, released under catalysis of vitamin B12 from HoCySH and serine in enzymatic reaction catalyzed by CBS, and in this way higher offer of cysteine and succinyl-CoA This is the main effect of CR in the group D. Both vitamins influence the ratio between glycine (necessary mainly for CR synthesis, beside other metabolic pathways) and serine. The change of serine into glycine can be realized by THF, under catalysis of serine hydroxymethyltransferase. For the opposite change of glycine into serine the metabolic pathway is catalyzed by folates too, but in more complicated way

Development of the scope of polarography with time (review)
Heyrovský, Michael
The classical definition of polarography was "electrolysis with dropping mercury electrode (DME)". This definition characterized originally d.c. voltage-controlled method containing theoretical equations of different currents obtained with DME as well as its practical applications in analysis and in general science. Gradually, next to dropping electrode other types of mercury electrodes were used, as streaming and hanging drop. Development of the instrumental side of polarography introduced also methods of current-controlled electrolysis and beside pure mercury also amalgam electrodes. Nowadays polarography can be best characterized as physico-chemical branch of science ceveloped from simplke electrolysis with dropping mercury electrode.

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 %.

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.

Vliv suprafyziologických dávek kreatinu na homocysteinový metabolismus u sportovců
Kohlíková, E. ; Petr, M. ; Přistoupilová, K. ; Šenholdová, Z. ; Přistoupil, T. I. ; Pelclová, D. ; Žák, J. ; Heyrovský, Michael ; Navrátil, Tomáš
One month´s administration of creatine (CR) in the dose of 5 g/day to 11 young men affected their daily amount of CR, creatinine, and thiodiglycolic acid (TDGA) 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 changes of folates and vitamin B12 were mutually reciprocal, as well as muscle mass and body fat. 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.
