(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.
Vamping
Definition:
(p. pr. & vb. n.) of Vamp
Example Sentences:
(1) The main suppliers were VAMP (78 practices), AAH Meditel (46), and AMC (23).
(2) A study of 32 patients receiving cyclophosphamide (CY) and verapamil (VER) in addition to the drug combination vincristine, adriamycin and methyl prednisolone (VAMP) was made in which the clinical response and growth of clonogenic myeloma cells (MY-CFUc) from bone marrow aspirates were compared.
(3) Chaplin himself wrote about this process: "Sometimes a musician would get pompous with me, and I would cut him short: 'Whatever the melody is, the rest is just a vamp.'
(4) Median duration of aplasia following hyper-VAMP was 13 days with CM-CSF and 29 days without GM-CSF.
(5) The brand’s most famous material is black lace, inspired by Sicilian widow’s weeds, but the Dolce & Gabbana woman is both a mamma and a vamp.
(6) Collection was started 8-10 days after the end of L-VAMP therapy (3 cycles).
(7) RIP November 14, 2015 It was later confirmed that Marie Mosser, a 24-year-old who worked with band The Vamps, had been killed alongside Thomas Ayad.
(8) These studies suggest that intensive chemoradiotherapy (eg., VAMP-TBI), if given relatively soon after diagnosis and before development of progressive disease, improves long-term survival for patients with advanced neuroblastoma.
(9) VAMPs are synaptic vesicle-specific proteins composed of a carboxy-terminal hydrophobic membrane anchor and an approximately 100 amino acid domain oriented towards the cytoplasm.
(10) HDMP produced short responses in 25% of patients with less toxicity than VAMP.
(11) To determine whether GluT4 vesicles are related to synaptic vesicles, rat adipocyte low density microsomes (LDM), which are rich in GluT4 vesicles, were screened for the synaptic vesicle proteins synaptotagmin, synaptophysin, SV2, p29, rab3, and VAMP (synaptobrevin) by immunoblotting.
(12) A total of 110 patients with high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) not previously treated by chemotherapy or by radiotherapy at more than one site of disease underwent a regimen comprising an intensive 6-week initial, induction phase using vincristine, adriamycin, methotrexate, and prednisolone (VAMP) followed by the non-cross-resistant combination cyclophosphamide, etoposide, and vindesine (EEE).
(13) Comparison of these data with our previous study of patients receiving VAMP alone, suggests that the addition of CY to the regimen may increase the tumour cell kill.
(14) A 41-year-old male was diagnosed as acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) in November, 1982 and partial remission was obtained by a combination chemotherapy of LVP, DVP ABOP and VAMP.
(15) The amino-terminal 24-28 amino acid residues which comprise the proline-rich head are only about 50% homologous between the different VAMPs, yet the proline-rich character is maintained.
