Abstract
We show here that the symbionts of the hydrothermal vent mussel Bathymodiolus from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge use hydrogen to power primary production. In addition, we show that the symbionts of Bathymodiolus mussels from Pacific vents have hupL, the key gene for hydrogen oxidation. Furthermore, the sym...

Abstract
We explored the interactions of two spirochetes previously isolated from the very same termite species. As hydrogen (H(2)) is the central free intermediate in termite-gut lignocellulose digestion, we focused on interactions between two closely related termite-gut spirochetes possessing complementary...

Abstract
We show that hepatic glycogen accumulates H(2) after oral administration of H(2)-water, explaining why consumption of even a small amount of H(2) over a short span time efficiently improves various disease models. This finding was supported by an in vitro experiment in which glycogen solution mainta...

Abstract
We present here the first catalytic conversion of n-alkanes to alkylaromatics using homogeneous or molecular catalysts--specifically 'pincer'-ligated iridium complexes--and olefinic hydrogen acceptors. For example, the reaction of n-octane affords up to 86% yield of aromatic product, primarily o-xyl...

Abstract
We evaluated the absorption and metabolism of palatinose in rats by the carbohydrate load test and the 13C- and H2-breath tests. We compared the results of these tests with those of sucrose, since sucrose is an isomer of palatinose and generally known to be degraded and absorbed from the small intes...

Abstract
Our current study demonstrates that activation of NHE-1 (Na(+)/H(+) exchanger isoform 1) in dendrites presents a major pathway for Na(+) overload. Neuronal dendrites exhibited higher pH(i) regulation rates than soma as a result of a larger surface area/volume ratio. Following a 2-h oxygen glucose de...

We find that the dissociation of (H(2)O)(2)H(+) and (D(2)O)(2)D(+) exhibits a distinct threshold behavior due to the existence of activation energies. Moreover, the deviation between the harmonic and anharmonic dissociation rate constants becomes larger in the high energy or temperature range, with...
