摘要
The activity of neutral sphingomyelinase (EC 3.1.4.12) in a plasma membrane enriched fraction was found to be increased in dexamethasone treated cells. The elevation of sphingomyelinase activity was blocked by cycloheximide indicating that protein synthesis was required for the steroid action. Ceramidase (EC3.5.1.23) activity was unaffected by the dexamethasone treatment. Levels of sphingosine in 3T3-L1 Cells were also increased after treatment with 10-7 M dexamethasone for 2 and 4 hours. © 1990.
