  • (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).

  • (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.
