Cross-linking of surface immunoglobulin on B lymphocytes induces both intracellular Ca2+ release and Ca2+ influx: analysis with indo-1.

abstract：BACKGROUND & AIMS:Concentrations of the branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) in the serum of patients with liver cirrhosis correlate with their liver function. Oral administration of BCAA can ameliorate hypoalbuminemia and hepatic encephalopathy. In this study, we aim to clarify the role of BCAA in regulating the replicati...
