As previously found, the glucocorticosteroid clobetasol-17-propionate inhibits cell proliferation during the early growth stage of normal baby foreskin fibroblasts and collagen synthesis in confluent cultures of these cells. The degree of inhibition of cell proliferation decreases with increasing ce

✦ Synopsis
Human diploid fibroblasts cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's medium (DME) were exposed to different concentrations of 15 antibiotics to determine the limiting toxic concentration. The number of cells surviving after antibiotic treatment was given as the index of toxicity. No visible chromosomal damage could be detected when half the maximal toxic concentration was applied. The maximum limiting concentration was found to be the same for both the preconfluent and postconfluent phases.

An immediate depression of the rate of cell proliferation occurred upon addition of glucocorticosteroids to cultures of human skin fibroblasts in the early growth stages. A reduced sensitivity or even insensitivity of the fibroblasts to growth inhibition inhibition was found upon the addition of the
## Abstract The regulation of hexose transport under glucose‐starvation conditions was studied in cultured human skin fibroblasts. Glucose starvation enhanced the transport of 2‐DG and 3‐O‐methyl‐D‐glucose (3‐OMG) but not of L‐glucose. Glucose‐starvation enhanced transport was inhibited by cytochal
## Abstract The effect of insulin on hexose transport in cultured human skin fibroblasts. Studies were carried out on cultures of human skin fibroblasts to explore the effect of insulin on hexose transport in serum‐starved monolayers. Insulin (100 mU/ml) stimulated 2‐deoxy‐D‐glucose transport (30%
The uptake of glucocorticoids by cultured human skin keratinocytes and fibroblasts was found to be a rapid, temperature-sensitive process. All glucocorticoids tested accumulated in the cells, and the ratio between the intracellular and extracellular concentrations (q/Co ratio) was higher than 1. For
