Recently , our laboratory demonstrated that metallothionein 1 ( MT 1 ) is degraded faster than metallothionein 2 ( MT 2 ) in liver of Zn treated adult rats ; however , it is not clear whether this phenomenon is unique to Zn treatment or the age of the animal . ^^^ The objective of this study was twofold : ( 1 ) to determine if MT 1 is more susceptible than MT 2 to proteolytic breakdown regardless of age or chemical pretreatment and ( 2 ) to examine the hypothesis that the amount and type of metals bound to MT influences its resistance to degradation . ^^^ Pulse labeling experiments were conducted to determine the half lives of MT 1 and MT 2 in liver of adult rats ( 75 day old ) , immature rats ( 1 day old ) , and mature rats treated with single dosages of Zn ( 1 mmol / kg , sc ) , Cd ( 10 mumol / kg , sc ) , or ethanol ( 109 mmol / kg , po ) . ^^^ Atomic absorption spectrometry was utilized to measure the Zn , Cu , and Cd contents of MT 1 and MT 2 obtained in selected experimental groups . ^^^ MT 1 had a shorter half life than MT 2 in Zn treated adults ( 21 vs 33 hr ) and in nontreated immature rats ( 49 vs 73 hr ) . ^^^

MT 1 and MT 2 are normally dramatically up regulated by neuroinflammation . ^^^ As expected , MT 1 and MT 2 immunostaining was dramatically increased in cells surrounding the plaques , consistent with astrocytosis and microgliosis , as well as the increased oxidative stress elicited by the amyloid deposits . ^^^ Overall , these and other studies strongly suggest specific roles for MT 1 , MT 2 , and MT 3 in brain physiology . . ^^^

The polymorphism of MTNR1B located in 3 ' untranslated region ( rs 1562444 ) was selected for its higher rate of heterozygosity among other single nucleotide polymorphisms ( SNPs ) in both MTNR1A and MTNR1B genes and investigated in RA patients ( n = 173 ) and healthy controls ( n = 195 ) by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism assay using NlaIII restriction enzyme . ^^^
