## Abstract Human diploid fibroblasts in culture were examined for production of glycopeptide hormones. Fortyโone percent of the strains produced human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) under normal growth conditions. Constitutive hCG synthesis was apparently unrelated to donor age, length of time in cu
G6PD specific activity (S.A.) was significantly greater in human females than in males, both in fresh erythrocytes from newborns and in prenatal cultural lung. The sex difference in erythrocytes was nullified by 6 years of age via a reduction of G6PD S.A. in the female relative to the male. The sex
## Abstract The regulation of hexose transport under glucoseโstarvation conditions was studied in cultured human skin fibroblasts. Glucose starvation enhanced the transport of 2โDG and 3โOโmethylโDโglucose (3โOMG) but not of Lโglucose. Glucoseโstarvation enhanced transport was inhibited by cytochal
## Abstract Two predictions of the error/mutation hypothesis of cellular sensecence (Orgel, '73) namely, (a) exponential accumulation of somatic mutations during the replicative lifespan and (b) shortening of culture lifespan upon treatment with mutagens have been examined experimentally in a strai
