That is, an organisation is able to account for, or demonstrate how it has managed, all monies that it has received.
Temperature Effects. Like most chemical reactions, the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction increases as the temperature is raised. A ten degree Centigrade rise in temperature will increase the activity of most enzymes by 50 to 100%.
In the present study, the effect of body temperature on this acute decrease of tryptophan hydroxylase activity was examined. 2 h after a single dose of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (20 mg/kg, s.c.), rats exhibited hyperthermia (38.7) or hypothermia (35.8) when maintained at 25 or 6, respectively.n conclusion, lowering body temperature protects against the immediate decrease in tryptophan hydroxylase activity induced by 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, suggesting that hyperthermia plays a prominent role in the acute as well as the long-term decrease in enzyme activity.
