Bovine pituitary extract
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Bovine pituitary extract is a bovine pituitary extract that can be used as a mitogenic supplement in serum-free growth media. Bovine pituitary extract is rich in growth factors. Bovine pituitary extract not only promotes the proliferation of corneal keratinocytes and maintains their phenotype, but also exerts significant antioxidant stress protective effects on human prostate epithelial cells.

Biological Activity
Bovine pituitary extract (50 μg/mL; 24 h) significantly protects RWPE-1 human prostate epithelial cells against H2O2-induced cell death and maintains the intact structure of cell membranes and cytoplasm[1].
Bovine pituitary extract (50 μg/mL; 6 h) significantly reduces H2O2-induced protein oxidation in RWPE-1 human prostate epithelial cells[1].
Bovine pituitary extract (50 μg/mL; 6 h) inhibits H2O2-induced DNA fragmentation and necrosis in the human prostatic epithelial cell line RWPE-1[1].
Bovine pituitary extract (50 μg/mL; 4 h) enhances intracellular ROS accumulation induced by H2O2 in RWPE-1 human prostate epithelial cells[1].
Bovine pituitary extract (50 μg/mL; 14 d) promotes the proliferation of human corneal stromal cells and maintains their dendritic, non-fibroblastic phenotype during 14 days of primary culture[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
