Digoxin effect and imprinting in the unicellular Tetrahymena

Treatment with digoxin increased, whereas treatment with ouabain decreased, the growth rate of Tetrahymena, but the progeny generations showed an increased mitotic rate after both treatments. A single exposure to digoxin or ouabain accounted for a more than twofold increase in the incorporation (bin...

Summary:Treatment with digoxin increased, whereas treatment with ouabain decreased, the growth rate of Tetrahymena, but the progeny generations showed an increased mitotic rate after both treatments. A single exposure to digoxin or ouabain accounted for a more than twofold increase in the incorporation (binding) of the cardiac glycosides in the progeny generations.
