The effects of 25 recently discovered plant lectins on cell proliferation and enzyme release were compared to those of previously known lectins on rat microglia and astrocyte cell cultures. A dose-dependent proliferation of microglial cells, but not of astrocytes, was induced by seven lectins, where
Plant sterols (phytosterols) are a group of compounds structurally very similar to cholesterol (Fig. ). The main plant sterols, sitosterol and campesterol differ from the structure of cholesterol by an ethyl and a methyl group, respectively, at C-24 in the side chain. These small differences have a
Carbohydrate recognition by lectins often involves the side chains of tyrosine, tryptophan, and histidine residues. These moieties are able to produce chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (CIDNP) signals after laser irradiation in the presence of a suitable radical pair-generating dye. El
