## Abstract Prednisolone‐induced alterations in the content and composition of the total lipids, cholesterol, phospholipids and fatty acids were studied in HeLa S3 cells. After relatively long exposure of the cell cultures to the hormone analog (24 to 72 hours), total cell lipid content was decreas

✦ Synopsis
In two heteroploid cell lines synchronized with thymidine double block, activity of alkaline phosphatase decreased during the 12 hour period preceding mitotic peak. A return to high values was observed during the next 12 hours of synchronous cycle. Prednisolone ( llp, 17a, 21-trihydroxy-1,4-pregnadiene-3,2O-dione), when added to such cell cultures increased alkaline phosphatase activity in one of the cell lines (Henle embryonic intestine) but had the opposite effect on another line (HeLa-S3) in which the enzyme activity was decreased. Neither effect could be demonstrated if the hormone was added at the end of S phase or if cells were arrested in metaphase by vinblastine sulfate.
