<sup>1</sup>H HR-MAS NMR spectroscopy to study the metabolome of the protozoan parasite Giardia lamblia
2018, TalantaCitation Excerpt :1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of solutions is a powerful and well established tool for the direct qualitative and quantitative analysis of small metabolites in mixtures including biological samples without the need of laborious sample preparation steps such as preceding chromatographic separation [19–21]. NMR spectroscopy is less sensitive than other methods like mass spectrometry, but largely benefits from the ease of sample preparation and high reproducibility [21,22] and has successfully been applied for metabolic studies with G. lamblia [11–13]. High resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) NMR spectroscopy allows obtaining well resolved liquid-like 1H NMR spectra from semi-solid materials, which under static conditions would give rise to broad NMR resonances.
Proteomic and transcriptional analyses of genes differentially expressed in Giardia duodenalis clones resistant to albendazole
2013, Infection, Genetics and EvolutionCitation Excerpt :Noteworthy the levels of TPI and tpi mRNA in Abz-resistant G. duodenalis clones were lower than in Abz-sensitive clones. In G. duodenalis, the main source of ATP is the glycolytic pathway (Schofield et al., 1991). TPI is an ubiquitous glycolytic enzyme that catalyzes the reversible isomerization between (R)-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) and dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP).

2001, Journal of Biological ChemistryCitation Excerpt :In the absence of exogenous substrate, it is likely that the trophozoites were reliant on endogenous glucose stores (e.g. glycogen, Ref. 25) and that the metabolism was therefore essentially the same as that occurring in cells supplemented with glucose. Glucose metabolism in G. intestinalis results in the production of the acidic end-product acetic acid (26, 27), whereas arginine catabolism generates ammonia and ornithine, alkaline and neutral products, respectively (6). The pronounced extracellular acidification observed in suspensions in which the cells were utilizing glucose is likely to be due primarily to the production of acetic acid whereas the lesser acidification observed in cells supplemented with arginine probably represents the combined effects of arginine and glucose (glycogen) metabolism.
