## Abstract A number of proβapoptotic stimuli induce the activation of caspaseβ9, an initiator protease that activates executioner caspases, such as caspaseβ3, leading to the development of programmed cell death. Here we demonstrate that cell (platelets and pancreatic acinar cells) stimulation with

Caspase-3 activity increased dramatically in cytosolic extracts of rat cerebellar granule cells exposed to apoptotic conditions (basal medium Eagle (BME) containing 5 mM K Ψ without serum) when assayed with Ac-DEVD-amc, but not with Ac-YVAD-afc, a preferred substrate for caspase-1. This provided a b
Recent studies indicate that arsenic may generate reactive oxygen species to exert its toxicity. However, the mechanism is still unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that arsenite is able to induce apoptosis in a concentration-and time-dependent manner; however, arsenate is unable to do so. An inc
