After the re-addition of serum in the presence of adenosine ( 2 5 PM), the entry of quiescent, serum starved BHK 21 cells into DNA synthesis follows first order kinetics after a well defined lag period of eight hours, and with a rate constant dependent on serum concentration. Initiation of DNA synth

β¦ Synopsis
Removal of serum from BHK-21/C13 cells in culture results in a decline in thymidine incorporation extending over five days. Additional re- moval of any of several amino acids results in a rapid decrease in incorporation of thymidine to negligible levels by 24 hours. Replacement by complete medium then provokes a synchronous wave of DNA synthesis after only ten hours with DNA synthesis first increased a t six hours. Starvation for glutamine results in a rapid decline in protein synthesis over the 24 hour period when DNA synthesis is falling. However, there is considerable degradation of total protein during this period, and RNA degradation is also greatly increased. Concurrently, synthesis of RNA falls to less than 10% of that in control cells. '62) were grown in monolayer culture a t 37Β°C

## BACKGROUND. Many studies describe the protective role of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) against cancer development and in treatment of established cancer. The present study investigated whether ascorbic acid demonstrates a therapeutic benefit for prostate cancer. METHODS. Androgen-independent (DU145
## Abstract Rat 3Y1 cells arrested at early S by hydroxyurea traversed the remainder of S and G2 and completed mitosis after removal of the drug, irrespective of the absence of serum from the culture medium. When cells were deprived of serum for a period between early S and mitosis after removal of
Radioactive short-chain fatty acids preferentially label glutamine relative to glutamate in brain due to compartmentation of glutamine and glutamate. To determine whether this phenomenon occurs in a single cell culture model, we examined the effect of fatty acid chain length on the synthesis as well
