## AE-Linolenic acid metabolism in adult humans: the effects of gender and age on conversion to longer-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids This review summarises and evaluates current knowledge of a-linolenic acid (aLNA) metabolism in adult humans. The principal biological role of aLNA appears to be

The function of sialic acid groups at the terminal of sugar chains of human ␣ 1 -acid glycoprotein (AGP) was investigated with respect to chiral discrimination between optical isomers of basic drugs, using high-performance capillary electrophoresis/frontal analysis (HPCE/FA), a novel analytical meth
## Abstract We studied the effects of 13‐cis‐retinoic acid (13cRA) and 4‐hydroxyphenyl‐all‐trans‐retinamide (4HPR) on the proliferation of clonogenic human tumor colony‐forming units (TCFU) from patient biopsies in soft agar. Continuous exposure (5 × 10^−6^M) to 13cRA and 4HPR reduced colony format
## Abstract Additive effects against tumor cells might be achieved by combining anti‐neoplastic agents directed against one or more altered mechanisms in cancer. We investigated the participation of gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC), which is commonly dysfunctional in tumor cells as
