The effect of 835 MHz microwaves on the activity of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) in L929 murine cells was investigated at an SAR of Γ2.5 W/kg. The results depended upon the type of modulation employed. AM frequencies of 16 Hz and 60 Hz produced a transient increase in ODC activity that reached a pe

β¦ Synopsis
Sodium arsenite proved effective in preventing the induction of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity elicited by dilution of Friend erythroleukemia cells in fresh medium. A 50 per cent inhibition was produced at approximately 1 p~ arsenite and complete inhibition was obtained at concentrations above 1 0 ~~. However, addition of arsenite 5 h after cell dilution, i.e. when ODC was already induced, appeared to stabilize the enzyme. The half-life of ODC activity, measured after cycloheximide treatment, increased almost six-fold after addition of sodium arsenite. Agents known to provoke oxidative alteration of the thiol-redox status in cells, also caused a similar effect on the induction and stability of ODC.
