Analysis of vasopressin-induced Ca2+ increase in rat hepatocytes
To analyze vasopressin-induced Ca2+ increase in liver cells, rat hepatocytes were isolated and attached to collagen-coated cover slips. Usipg fura-2, a Ca2+-sensing dye, changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentratio...

Leukemic cell line, KG-1 has a functional loss of hOGG1 enzyme due to a point mutation and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine can kill KG-1
We tested the cytotoxic action of 8-hydroxyguanine (8ohG) by observing the viability of several leukemic cell lines (KG-1, U937, Jurkat and K 562) in the presence of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8ohdG), a nucleosi...
