The effect of 3 muM cortisol on cell proliferation in rat glioma (strain C6) monolayer cultures was investigated. Cell density measurements showed that cortisol-treated C6 cells continued to proliferate at maximum log phase rates for 1 to 2 days. Then cell proliferation ceased as growth in control cultures continued into stationary phase. A 2-day period of growth inhibition followed during whic...

A membrane-associated, Ca(2+)-activated, Mg(2+)-dependent ATPase activity has been identified in the mouse chorioallantoic placenta. The enzyme activity is expressed and increases as a function of gestation. Biochemical characterization shows that the enzyme is highly specific for Ca2+ and nucleotide triphosphates, with a Km of 0.97 mM [Ca2+] and a Vmax of 1.05 nmol Pi released mg-1 placental p...

Acidified sodium chlorite (ASC) is recognised as a highly potent, broad spectrum antimicrobial system that has been successfully developed for uses in veterinary, food processing and medical device fields. The current studies aimed to investigate the persistence of antimicrobial action and plaque inhibitory properties of 3 ASC mouthrinses by comparison with positive control, chlorhexidine 0.12%...
