Calcium-dependent activation of human neutrophils by a synthetic ionophore.

abstract：:Mouse hepatoma Hepa-1c1c7 (Hepa-1) cells were treated with myristicin to assess the role of myristicin in the process of Cyp1a-1 induction. Treatment of Hepa-1 cells with myristicin increased Cyp1a-1 transcription in a dose-dependent manner as shown by analysis of 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase activity, Cyp1a-1 prote...
