Abstract Levels of 24 free amino acids were estimated in the brain after administration of 5,6-dihydroxy-tryptamine and 6-hydroxydopamine into the lateral brain ventricles of male Wistar rats. These neurotransmitters caused serotoninectomy and sympathectomy in the diencephalon, striatum, brain stem and medulla, thalamus and hypothalamus, cerebral cortex and cerebellum. The most abundant amino acids in these brain structures were: glutamic acid, serine, aspartic acid, cystine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, glycine, tryptophan and alanine. We detected and quantified changes in the levels of these and other amino acids in the investigated regions of the rat central nervous system, under the influence of these two neurotransmitters.

Free amino acids in cacao beans are important precursors to the aroma and flavor of chocolate. In this research, we used inferential and explanatory statistical techniques to verify the effect of different edaphic crop conditions on the free amino acid profile of PH-16 dry cacao beans. The decreasing order of free amino acids in PH-16 dry cacao beans is leucine, phenylalanine, glutamic acid, alanine, asparagine, tyrosine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, valine, isoleucine, glutamine, lysine, aspartic acid, serine, tryptophan, threonine, glycine. With the exception of lysine, no other free amino acid showed a significant difference between means of different edaphic conditions under the ANOVA F-test. The hydrophobic free amino acids provided the largest contribution to the explained variance with 58.01% of the first dimension of the principal component analysis. Glutamic acid stands out in the second dimension with 13.09%. Due to the stability of the biochemical profile of free amino acids in this clonal variety, it is recommended that cacao producers consider the genotype as the primary source of variation in the quality of cacao beans and ultimately the chocolate to be produced.

Seedlings of white pine (Pinus strobus L.) and detached shoots of white and loblolly (P. taeda L.) pines were exposed to various concentrations of ozone either before or during photosynthetic fixation of 14CO2. The major changes in distribution of 14C as a result of ozone treatment were (1) a reduction of relative activity in soluble sugars; (2) an increase in activity in sugar phosphates; and (3) an increase in activity in free amino acids, especially alanine. Significant differences in 14C fixation patterns were observed at ozone concentrations as low as 10 pphm (parts per hundred million), and during 14CO2 fixation times as short as 10 min. However, other combinations of treatment levels and times did not always result in statistically significant effects.
