- Journal of steroid biochemistry
- 1 May 1980
Abstract Thirty four cholesterol analogues with modified side chain were chemically synthesized and incubated with a highly purified preparation of cytochrome P-450scc. It was shown that five to ten… Expand
Specificity of radioprotective and cytotoxic effects of cysteamine in HeLa S3 cells: generation of peroxide as the mechanism of paradoxical toxicity.

- Medicine
- Journal of radiation research
- 1 June 1993
X-irradiation-induced emesis was investigated in Suncus murinus, a house musk shrew. Whole body X-irradiation caused emesis, and the calculated ED50 value that induced emesis in 50% of animals was… Expand

- M. Shikita, P. Hall
- Chemistry, Medicine
- The Journal of biological chemistry
- 25 August 1973
Abstract One cytochrome P-450 has been purified from bovine adrenocortical mitochondria to near homogeneity. The enzyme catalyzes the conversion of cholesterol and 20α-hydroxycholesterol to… Expand
