In recent reports 5-CHQ have been demonstrated to act as Zinc ionophore and to induce apoptosis of human cancer cells. |
Food safety advocates may be concerned about the potential for ionophore supplements to contribute to antibiotic resistant bacteria that could infect humans. |
Temperature altered the membrane properties homogeneously, whereas the ionophore increased order heterogeneously. |
This was followed by restimulation with PMA and calcium ionophore. |
