The incubation of human platelets with methylglyoxal and glucose produces a rapid transformation of the ketoaldehyde to D-lactate by the glyoxalase system and a partial reduction in GSH. Glucose utilization is affected at the level of the glycolytic pathway. No effect of the ketoaldehyde on glycogen

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) exerts a number of biological effects, the most frequently cited being induction of cell differentiation. The compound also increases invasiveness and metastatic potential. In contrast to the many reports of DMSO-induced cell differentiation, we report here that DMSO inhibi
Zafirlukast is a cysteinyl leukotriene antagonist used to treat allergic and exercise-induced asthma. This in vitro study used human liver microsomes to evaluate the inhibitory activity of zafirlukast versus six human cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms. Zafirlukast (0 -250 mM) was co-incubated with fixe
Brain succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity was inhibited by in vitro hexachlorophene (HCP) with a half inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) of 0.65 β«β¬ 10 β«3β¬ M. The HCP exerted noncompetitive inhibition at 0.5 mM (Ο½IC 50 ), uncompetitive inhibition at 0.65 mM (IC 50 ), and mixed-type inhibition at 0.
## Abstract In vitro immunoglobulin synthesis by lymphocytes of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was enhanced by the addition of heatβaggregated human IgG. Stimulation occurred in the presence of fresh seropositive autologous plasma and was abolished by heat inactivation. By contrast, no sig
