## Abstract In certain cell systems, including neonatal vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells, phorbol esters are growth inhibitory. Here we show that 1, 2‐dioctanoyl‐snglycerol (DiC8), when added 2 h after α‐thrombin, reverses by 95% the induction of DNA synthesis in VSM cells by α‐thrombin. Sphingos
## Abstract Increased myometrial expression of cyclooxygenase‐2 (Cox‐2) at term results from elevated local levels of inflammatory cytokines, and its inhibition provides a potential route for intervention in human pre‐term labor. We have identified a role for atypical protein kinase C (PKC) isozyme
The mechanism of Ca 2ϩ influx in nonexcitable cells is not known yet. According to the capacitative hypothesis, Ca 2ϩ influx is triggered by IP 3 -mediated Ca 2ϩ release from the intracellular Ca 2ϩ stores. Conversely, many workers have reported a lack of association between release and influx. In t
Abnormal glucose handling in the proximal tubule may play an important role in the development of diabetic nephropathy. Thus, the present study was designed to examine the effect of high glucose on alpha-methyl-D-glucopyranoside (alpha-MG) uptake and its signaling pathways in the primary cultured ra
