The mechanisms of zinc uptake from a complete culture medium by human fibroblasts have been studied. The metal is accumulated in a biphasic pattern; an initial rapid phase followed by a slower linear phase. We suggest that the former represents binding to carriers or receptors on the cell surface fo

## Abstract Adrenal steroid hormones with glucocorticoid activity increase the uptake of Zn^++^ in HeLa cell cultures. On the basis of the level of Zn^++^ accumulation induced, steroid hormones can be classified into four groups: (a) optimal inducers (e.g., hydrocortisone and prednisolone); (b) sub
## Abstract In metalβpolluted environments, high concentrations of metals such as zinc, cadmium, copper, and lead are present. Many studies have been conducted to determine uptake and binding of the nonessential, toxic metal cadmium. Effects of essential metals on this uptake and binding remain unc

## Abstract Sodium influx in serumβdeprived human fibroblasts in a nominally Caβfree, Mgβfree medium is significantly higher (17.8 Β± 1.9 ΞΌmole/g prot/min) than that measured in a medium containing 1.8 mM Ca and 1 mM Mg (10.9 Β± 0.7 ΞΌmole/g prot/min), and is stimulated dramatically (44.1 Β± 6.1 ΞΌmole/
