High impact information on PSA

Hematoporphyrin (HP), hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD), and thiopyronine (TP) are photosensitive agents (PSA) that have a germicidal effect when they are activated by light: helium neon laser (He Ne ) light (HP, HPD), white light (HP, HPD), and yellow-green light (TP) [1].
Namely, PDS from rats has a stimulatory activity on PGI2 production (PGI2 stimulatory activity; PSA) [2].
Addition of porcine serum albumin (PSA, 1-4 mg mL(-1)) or methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MBC, 5-10 mg mL(-1)) instead of BSA was as effective as BSA (4 mg mL(-1)) in enhancing sperm agglutination [3].
