Abstract:
The effects of L-glutamic acid on the differentiation of HL-60 and K-562 cell lines and on the expression level of mRNAs encoding IL-1 beta, IL-6, and TNF alpha were studied. It was shown that TNF alpha actively induces the differentiation of these cell lines, whereas L-glutamic acid enhances its effect. Our results indicated that L-glutamic acid modulates the physiological state of the myeloid cell line in blood, in particular, by affecting both the reception and expression of cytokines functionally important for these cells.

Three Subfamilies of Ligand-gated Ion Channels
Ligand-gated ion channels fall into three subfamilies. The 'Cys-loop' includes the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glycine, and 5-hydroxytryptamine receptors. The second one is the 'Pore-loop' channels that include the...
