Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity and polyamine (putrescine, spermidine, spermine) concentrations were measured in parallel in enterocyte-like Caco-2 cells maintained under various culture conditions. ODC activity was maximal at the beginning of the exponential growth phase, decreasing dramatic

Pregnant rats were treated for five consecutive days during gestation with s.c. injections of the ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) inhibitor alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO). Treatment beginning at gestational days 13 or 14 was effective in inhibiting ODC and altering polyamine levels, and resulted
Tissue activity levels of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) have been suggested to be a marker of colonic epithelial cell proliferation and risk for colorectal cancer. Supplemental dietary calcium has been hypothesized and reported to suppress colonic epithelial-cell proliferation. We measured sigmoid a
