Metallothionein (MT) is a low-molecular-weight cysteine-rich protein which has a high affinity for metals. The synthesis of MT is induced by heavy metals such as cadmium and zinc. However, little is known about the induction of MT by tetravalent or
Vanadium and its derivatives are the well-known environmental pollutants. We obtained that ammonium vanadate suppressed the alkaline (AlP) and acid (AcP) phosphatases activity in the variety of tissues. Vanadate inhibited the enzymes that take part in phosphoryl transfer reactions. Successive

Carcinogen-induced formation of DNA adducts and other types of DNA lesions are the critical molecular events in the initiation of chemical carcinogenesis and modulation of such events by chemopreventive agents could be an important step in limiting neoplastic transformation in

Two-thirds of the lipid A in wild-type Escherichia coli K12 is a hexa-acylated disaccharide of glucosamine in which monophosphate groups are attached at positions 1 and 4'. The remaining lipid A contains a monophosphate substituent at position 4' and a
