Digital image processing of optical density wave propagation in Dictyostelium discoideum and analysis of the effects of caffeine and ammonia [PDF]
Waves of chemotactic movement during the early phase of aggregation in Dictyostelium discoideum were analyzed by digital image processing in a manner that immediately shows the following parameters: wave propagation velocity, period length, wave ...

RAS and beyond: the many faces of the neurofibromatosis type 1 protein
Neurofibromatosis type 1 is a rare neurogenetic syndrome, characterized by pigmentary abnormalities, learning and social deficits, and a predisposition for benign and malignant tumor formation caused by germline mutations in the NF1 gene.

Relationship between cyclic AMP production and lipolysis induced by forskolin in rat fat cells.
Forskolin (7 beta-acetoxy-8, 13-epoxy-1 alpha,6 beta,9 alpha-trihydroxy-labd-14-ene-11-one) induced both cyclic AMP production and lipolysis in intact fat cells, but stimulated lipolysis without increasing cyclic AMP at a concentration of 10(-5) M ...

Activation of hormone-sensitive lipase in extracts of adipose tissue
Rat adipose tissue was homogenized in 0.154 m KCI, and the supernatant fluid, obtained after centrifugation at 15,000 g, was extracted with benzene to remove triglycerides. Most of the lipase activity in the extracted fluid was precipitated with ammonium

Short PDE4 Isoforms as Drug Targets in Disease
The second messenger, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), is a master regulator of signal transduction that maintains cell homeostasis. A fine balance between cAMP synthesis by adenylyl cyclase and degradation by phosphodiesterases (PDEs) underpins ...

The Role of Cyclic AMP Signaling in Cardiac Fibrosis
Myocardial stress and injury invariably promote remodeling of the cardiac tissue, which is associated with cardiomyocyte death and development of fibrosis. The fibrotic process is initially triggered by the differentiation of resident cardiac fibroblasts

Regulation of the G2/M Transition in Rodent Oocytes [PDF]
Regulation of maturation in meiotically competent mammalian oocytes is a complex process involving the carefully coordinated exchange of signals between the somatic and germ cell compartments of the ovarian follicle via paracrine and cell–cell coupling ...

Liver regeneration in dogs: Morphologic and chemical changes [PDF]
Forty-four percent and 72% hepatectomy were carried out in dogs and the animals were sacrificed for biochemical and pathologic studies from 0.5 to 6 days later.

Cyclic AMP is believed to be the intracellular agent which mediates the action of many hormones on their target cell. The mechanisms by which the nucleotide controls glycogen metabolism in liver and skeletal muscle seem to be firmly established. Data relevant to this area of research are selectively reviewed.
