(8) The Syrian hamster is being used as an experimental aging model to investigate the intrinsic developmental program of dermal fibroblasts in vivo (proliferation, extracellular matrix (ECM) production, quiescence, and reactivation during wound repair) in order to determine whether the in vivo differentiation program and mature function of these cells is related to their in vitro proliferation and senescence pattern.
(9) After an initial quiescence period (growth arrest), target cells were exposed to plasma derived serum (PDS) from 4 experimental groups: young stimulated rats; young sham-operated controls; aged stimulated rats and aged sham-operated controls, at PDS concentrations of 2.5% and 5.0% and counted at days 2 and 5.

(16) In comparison to the fetuses of low risk multiparae studied earlier, the fetuses in the present study showed a somewhat lower proportion of quiescence (coincidence 1F) and higher percentage of activity (coincidence 2F); however, most of these differences were not statistically significant.
(17) During exposure to 10 mM K+, atrial potentials in all of the electrograms and atrial contractions ceased, indicating electrical quiescence of the contractile myocardium; however, the unique pattern of discharge of the SAB, PAVB, AVN, and DAVB persisted at the SA nodal rate.
(18) Also, growth rates and cell density at quiescence appear to be regulated by distinct mechanisms.
