Long-term Exposure to Low Lithium Concentrations Stimulates Proliferation, Modifies Stress Protein Expression Pattern and Enhances Resistance to Oxidative Stress in SH-SY5Y Cells
SH-SY5Y cells, derived from a human neuroblastoma, were submitted to short- or long-term exposures to lithium carbonate concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 8 mM. Short-term exposures (4 days) to concentrations ...

Hsp72 mRNA production in cultured human cells submitted to nonlethal aggression by heat, ethanol, or propanol. Application to the detection of low concentrations of chromium(VI) (potassium dichromate)
The HT29 and HepG2 human cell lines have been shown to express stress proteins (heat shock proteins, HSP) when submitted to a variety of sublethal environmental aggressions. In the present study, these cells w...
