Reversible phosphorylation is the major mechanism underlying the short-term hormonal control of phenylalanine hydroxylase activity in the liver. We report here, for the first time, the impact of a range of hormonal effectors on both the phosphorylation state and enzymic activity of phenylalanine hydroxylase present in isolated rat proximal kidney tubules. The most potent stimulator of enzyme phosphorylation was found to be parathyroid hormone, which is known to stimulate the production of cyclic AMP in proximal-tubule cells. In addition, adrenergic amines also stimulated enzyme phosphorylation, although to a lesser extent, through interaction with a mixed alpha 1 and beta receptor population.

Turkish dermatologist, H. Beheet described the disease as recurrent triad of iritis, oral aphthous lesions and genital ulceration. Auto immune disease is the recent focus on the unknown etiology which is still being discussed. Among the other immunosupressive drugs, CyA included in it's treatment newly. One of the important side effects of this drug is gingival hyperplasia which has a direct relation with the presence of teeth and periodontal tissue. We are interested in the ultrastructure of immunocompetent target cells that were affected by CyA in BD.Three groups arranged in each having 5 patients with BD. Control group was the first and didn’t have CyA treatment. Patients who had CyA, but didn’t show gingival hyperplasia assembled the second group. The ones displaying gingival hyperplasia following CyA therapy formed the third group. GMC of control group and their granules are shown in FIG. 1,2,3. GMC of the second group presented initiation of supplementary cellular activity and possible maturing functional changes with the signs of increased number of mitochondria and accumulation of numerous dense cored granules next to few normal ones, FIG. 4,5,6.
