  • (2) To be fair to lads who find themselves just a bus ride from Auschwitz, a visit to the camp is now considered by many tourists to be a Holocaust "bucket list item", up there with the Anne Frank museum, where Justin Bieber recently delivered this compliment : "Anne was a great girl.
  • (3) Content of cyclic nucleoside monophosphates was decreased in all the eye tissues in experimental toxico-allergic uveitis as well as penetration of cAMP into the fluid of anterior chamber of the eye.
  • (4) These effects are similar to those reported for AVP and phorbol esters, activators of protein kinase C. Forskolin and isoproterenol, which induce cAMP accumulation, activated extractable topoisomerase II (maximum 5-15 min after treatment), but not topoisomerase I. Permeable cyclic nucleotide analogs dBcAMP and 8BrcGMP selectively activated extractable topoisomerase II and topoisomerase I activities, respectively.
  • (5) A domain containing a CA repeat, similar to ones found in other late, cAMP-induced Dictyostelium genes, is required for cAMP-induced and developmental expression.
  • (6) Stimulation of atrial H1-receptors is suggested to directly cause an increase in Ca-channel conductance independent of intracellular cAMP content.
  • (7) Tumor promoting phorbol esters (1-1000 nM) could also inhibit PGE2 stimulated cAMP production dose dependently.
  • (8) A number of asylum seekers detained in the family camp on Nauru have begun peaceful protests over conditions at the centre.
  • (9) Tiropramide remarkably increased cAMP level but it had no effect on cGMP level in the bladder at the lower concentrations.
  • (10) Examination of the deduced amino acid sequence revealed an apparent homology to cAMP binding sites in several other proteins.
  • (11) Blood samples were collected from an antecubital vein at sea level (S1), in a base camp at 1515 m prior to the summit ascent (S2), on the summit at 3285 m after 6.5 hours of climbing (S3), at base camp immediately after the descent (S4), and at sea level following a trail descent from the base camp (S5).
  • (12) The data indicate greater legitimacy and openness in discussing holocaust-related issues in the homes of ex-partisans than in the homes of ex-prisoners in concentration camps.
  • (13) Therefore, these results led us to suggest a more complex role of cAMP in the regulation of platelet Ca2+ concentration.
  • (14) The reaction components and conditions affecting CAMP factor (Streptococcus agalactiae) induced lysis of target cells have been investigated.
  • (15) To this purpose, the formation of DHT has been measured in rat glial cell cultures after different time of exposure to TPA, 4 alpha-Ph, an active and an inactive phorbol ester respectively, and 8-Br-cAMP.
  • (16) However, cAMP also has posttranscriptional effects on the enzyme's synthesis, as evidenced by the 4- to 5-fold enhanced decline seen when cultured hepatoma cells are exposed to cAMP and transcription is inhibited.
  • (17) Cells defective in gpa2 fail to produce cAMP in response to glucose stimulation.
  • (18) 65% of the cAMP injected into the amniotic fluid of 2 monkeys remained after 1 hour.
  • (19) In intact animals, GM1 treatment produced a reduction in cAMP and Ca2+ induced striatal protein phosphorylation.
  • (20) We examined the effect of propentofylline on two adenosine actions in the rat hippocampus; the A2-mediated stimulation of 3H-cAMP accumulation and the A1-mediated inhibition of 3H-ACh release.
