Role of phospholipases in adrenal steroidogenesis.
Phospholipases are lipid-metabolizing enzymes that hydrolyze phospholipids. In some cases, their activity results in remodeling of lipids and/or allows the synthesis of other lipids. In other cases, however, and of interest to the topic of adrenal steroidogenesis, phospholipases produce second messengers that modify the function of a cell. In this review, the enzymatic reactions, products, and ...
متن کاملMagnolol stimulates steroidogenesis in rat adrenal cells.
1. This study investigated the effect of magnolol, a compound purified from Magnolia officinalis, on glucocorticoid production by primary adrenal cell culture. 2. Magnolol increased corticosterone secretion in a dose-dependent manner, this effect being maximal at 40 microM. A similar effect was seen in a minced adrenal gland system. 3. In magnolol-treated cells, the number and total area of cyt...
متن کاملSerum factors that suppress cytotoxic effect of methotrexate.
AIM To study the phenomenon that human erythroid leukemia K-562 cells are more sensitive to cytotoxic effect of antimetabolites when cultured in a serum-free medium than in a conventional medium containing fetal calf serum (FCS). METHODS Cytotoxic effects of methotrexate, azaserine and 5-fluorouracil were estimated by accessing the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity of viable tumor cells. P...

متن کاملThe worm that lived
Organisms age because of the "selection shadow"-the decline of the force of natural selection with age. Seemingly straightforward corollary of this theory is the Medawar-Williams prediction, which maintains that increased extrinsic (non-aging) mortality will result in the evolution of accelerated aging and decreased longevity. Despite its centrality to modern thinking about the ultimate causes ...
