Ceramide has recently been regarded as a potential mediator of apoptosis. In the present study, the effects of Bcl-2 and Bax on the ceramide-mediated apoptotic pathways were examined in glioma cells overexpressing Bcl-2 or Bax.igure 3 Effects of Bcl-2 or Bax overexpression on ceramide formation and neutral sphingomyelinase activation in etoposide-treated C6 cells. C6/Neo (), C6/Bcl-2 (), and C6/Bax () cells were treated with 40 M etoposide for indicated periods.
minimum wage 2008/10/9 03:12 The minimum wage in Japan is between 750 yen to 850yen and if you work longer on the job it goes more like adding 20yen each year or so. Some companies give extra bonus and provide transportation especially in Tokyo. I think Japan has no tipping system, so I guess tipping in some other countries help a lot for those who just work in low wage jobs.
In Japan, the average household net-adjusted disposable income per capita is USD 26 111 a year, more than the OECD average of USD 25 908 a year. But there is a considerable gap between the richest and poorest â the top 20% of the population earn more than six times as much as the bottom 20%.In terms of employment, 72% of people aged 15 to 64 in Japan have a paid job, above the OECD employment average of 65%.n Japan, 62% of women have jobs. This is more than the OECD average of 58% but much less than the 81% employment rate of men in Japan. This 19 percentage point gender difference is higher than the OECD average of 15 percentage points and suggests employment opportunities for women could be improved.
