Experiments were conducted to determine the extent and variability of collagen degradation in human fetal lung fibroblasts. Cells were incubated with [14C]proline, and degradation was measured by determining the hydroxy[14C]proline in a low molecular weight fraction relative to total hydroxy[14C]pro

## Abstract A factor isolated from human serum (nonsuppressible insulinβlike activity, NSILA) stimulates multiplication of serumβstarved chick embryo fibroblasts and stimulates activity of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC). Physiological doses of NSILA (200 mΜ U/ml) and pharmacological doses of insulin
## Abstract The effect of insulin on hexose transport in cultured human skin fibroblasts. Studies were carried out on cultures of human skin fibroblasts to explore the effect of insulin on hexose transport in serumβstarved monolayers. Insulin (100 mU/ml) stimulated 2βdeoxyβDβglucose transport (30%
