abstract：:We have studied whether the cell proliferation rate modifies the inhibitory actions of melatonin on MCF-7 cell growth. The proliferative rate of cells was altered by plating them at different densities (5 x 10(4) to 100 x 10(4) cells/dish) in media with low charcoal-stripped serum concentrations. In this way, populati...
