Abstract

Serum stimulates the production of prostaglandins by transformed mouse fibroblasts. Hydrocortisone (cortisol) inhibits this stimulation. The half-maximal inhibition occurs at 6x10-9 M. Studies with cells labeled with [3H]arachidonic acid in their lipids show that the stimulation by serum results in the release of arachidonic acid from the cellular lipids, mostly phospholipids. Hydrocortisone inhibits this release but does not inhibit the production of prostaglandins from exogenously supplied arachidonic acid. This inhibition of arachidonic acid release from phospholipids may be the mechanism for the anti-inflammatory action of corticosteroids.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The secretion rate of glucagon, estimated from glucagon removal under steady-state conditions, is approximately 1400 pg/min/kg of body weight in humans.

    “Such estimation yields a value of approximately 1400 pg/min/kg of body weight in humans [35].”

  • In the model, the arterial blood glucagon concentration is 0.81 pg/dl, which is consistent with the physiological range of blood glucagon concentration of between 0.25 and 1.5 pg/dl after 12 h fast.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
