Abstract excerpt

The polyamines, and especially putrescine, play an integral role in the physiological response of cells to varying extracellular osmotic conditions. Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) synthesis and stability, as well as the activity of the polyamine transporter, had all been reported to be very sensit...
