Hepatic Redox State

1. To examine the role of the hepatic redox state on the rate of gluconeogenesis the effects of sodium crotonate injection (6mmol/kg body wt.) on rat liver metabolite concentrations and gluconeogenesis from lactate were studied in vivo. 2. Crotonate caused a marked oxidation of cytoplasmic and mitochondrial redox couples; decreases were observed in the ratios of [lactate]/[pyruvate], [glycerol 3-phosphate]/[dihydroxyacetone phosphate], [hydroxybutyrate]/[acetoacetate] and measured [NAD+]/[NADH]. 3. Increases occurred in the liver concentrations of all gluconeogenic intermediates from pyruvate through to glucose 6-phosphate, but there was no change in lactate concentration. 4. To determine whether gluconeogenesis from lactate was altered by the more-oxidized hepatic redox state l-[2-14C]lactic acid was infused into the inferior vena cava (50μmol/min per kg body wt.) and the incorporation of radioactivity into blood glucose was measured. 5. Administration of crotonate transiently decreased the rate of lactate incorporation into glucose but within a few minutes the rate of incorporation returned to that of the controls. 6. The results indicate that in these experiments alteration of the NAD+–NADH systems of cytoplasm and mitochondria to a more-oxidized state did not change the rate of gluconeogenesis.

AbstractWhitehouse adapts insights from evolutionary anthropology to interpret extreme self-sacrifice through the concept of identity fusion. The model neglects the role of normative systems in shaping behaviors, especially in relation to violent extremism. In peaceful groups, increasing fusion will actually decrease extremism. Groups collectively appraise threats and opportunities, actively debate action options, and rarely choose violence toward self or others.

AbstractIntuitions guide decision-making, and looking to the evolutionary history of humans illuminates why some behavioral responses are more intuitive than others. Yet a place remains for cognitive processes to second-guess intuitive responses – that is, to be reflective – and individual differences abound in automatic, intuitive processing as well.

Sense Of Obligation

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.

Abstract The authors do the field of cultural evolution a service by exploring the role of non-social cognition in human cumulative technological culture, truly neglected in comparison with socio-cognitive abilities frequently assumed to be the primary drivers. Some specifics of their delineation of the critical factors are problematic, however. I highlight recent chimpanzee–human comparative findings that should help refine such analyses.
