Independent control of selected insulin-sensitive cell membrane and intracellular functions — the linkage of cell membrane and intracellular events controlled by insulin
Brief treatment of rat adipocytes with low concentration of trypsin activated both cell membrane and intracellular insulin-sensitive functions in marked contrast to H2O2 (1), increase in pH, and oxidized glutathi...

Multiple Intracellular Peptide Mediators of Insulin Action
This chapter discusses a cluster of insulin mediator peptides that duplicate in vitro the following insulin actions in the cell: (1) inhibit cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)dependent protein kinase, (2) stim...

Spectral and thermodynamic properties of He adsorbed on Ne-plated graphite
The potential energy functionV(r) is constructed for a He atom in the vicinity of a Ne-plated surface of graphite. This function includes He-Ne pair interactions, triple dipole He-Ne-Ne interactions, a McLachlan-...

Multilocus analysis of the fragile X syndrome
A multilocus analysis of the fragile X (fra(X)) syndrome was conducted with 147 families. Two proximal loci, DXS51 and F9, and two distal loci, DXS52 and DXS15, were studied. Overall, the best multipoint dista...

Exciton Transitions in Narrow GaAs/AlxGa1-x As Quantum Wells
Electroreflectance (ER) measurements were made on GaAs/AlxGa1-x As coupled quantum wells at room temperature and at 77K. The close coupling of the narrow (28.3 A) barriers resulted in splitting of the hole and el...

Comparison of the effects of insulin, PDGF, interleukin-6, and interferon-g on glucose transport in 3T3-L1 cells: lack of cross-talk between tyrosine kinase receptors and JAK/STAT pathways
The effects of insulin, insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), interleukin (IL)-6 and interferon-γ on 2-deoxyglucose uptake and insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 phosphory...

Is there still an indication for bovine xeno-graft in human orthopaedic and trauma surgery?
The author has studied 21 cases of bovine xeno-grafts in human orthopaedic and trauma surgery. The indications were benign tumours (filling of defects with or without structural support), osteotomies for lengt...

Bony allografts and prosthetic replacement of the acetabular aspect of the hip
51 cases of repeat hip replacement have been reviewed, using allografts for acetabular bone loss, stages 2 and 3 (27 lyophilised and 24 deep-frozen). Mean follow-up was 4 years. Loosening was the reason for in...
