TABLE 1

Acute actions of lysosphingolipid analogs on lipid-driven PKC activity Membranal cPKC/nPKC activity was isolated and assayed in vitro as described under Materials and Methods. Values reflect the mean ± standard error for quadruplicate determinations. Data shown are from a representative study performed at least three times with comparable outcomes.
