In rat liver, allylisopropylacetamide (AIA) treatment strongly induced (25-fold) the activity of rat hepatic ornithine decarboxylase (ODC). By either the oral or the subcutaneous route, AIA produced a long-lasting induction (30 to 40 hours) of hepatic ODC activity. Three analogs of AIA, propylisopro

Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) catalyzes the formation of putrescine from ornithine, which is the first step in the pathway of mammalian polyamine biosynthesis. Tissue activity levels of ODC have been suggested to be a marker of risk for colorectal cancer in hereditary polyposis and in adenoma former
## BACKGROUND. Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) is a key rate-limiting enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis. Several studies using an enzyme assay revealed that the ODC activity was higher in tumor tissue than in normal tissue. However, there is little information on the mRNA status of ODC in surgical sp
In the brine shrimp, long-term (several days) osmotic and ionic regulation is controlled principally by the activity of Na'K'ATPase. However, short-term cell volume regulation in Artemia and most euryhaline crustaceans is not understood. In this study, Artemia stage 1 nauplii reared at 32 ppt salini
