The results suggest that diethyldithiocarbamate may stimulate O2- production by a guanosine 5'-triphosphate protein-mediated and Ca(2+)-dependent process and that the increase in O1- release by neutrophils may be dependent on the direct stimulation of the signal transduction pathway.

Paramecium may be a useful model for the investigation of the molecular basis of thermo-sensory mechanisms, and an arachidonic acid metabolite was rapidly increased in response to the cooling stimulus, suggesting that prostaglandin biosynthesis plays a crucial role in the cooling-s Sensory transduction.

Results indicate that a free-living ciliate, T. thermophila, synthesizes and has a specific sensitivity to PGI(2), which is a stable metabolite of prostacyclin in [1-(14)C]arachidonate metabolites from the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena thermophILA.
