A Simple Apparatus for Individual C. elegans Culture.

We miniaturized standard, solid-phase C. elegans culture conditions to produce a system in which many isolated, individual C. elegans can be housed throughout their lives.

Effect of treatment with cadmium on kinetic properties of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase and glucose-6-phosphatase activity in rat liver microsomes a correlative study on influence of lipid/phospholipid make-up.

Studies on Cd hepatotoxicity have focused mainly on induction of cytochrome P(450) system and related enzymes. In the present study young adult male rats given a single intra-peritoneal injection of Cd (0.84mg Cd/kg body weight) and effects on kinetic parameters rat liver microsomal Na(+), K(+)-ATPase and G6Pase were evaluated at the end of 1 month and 1 week.
