In summary, we have shown the inhibitory effects of Bcl-2 family on the ceramide-mediated apoptotic pathway in glioma cells. Bcl-2 is considered to act not only downstream of ceramide to inhibit cytochrome c release followed by caspase activation, but also upstream of or at SMase to prevent ceramide generation.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.
Hawaii, which has the highest-paid waiters and waitresses in the country (mean wage: $13.91/hour) has a minimum wage of $7.00 for tipped employees.
Best Answer: I'm a waitress.... It's not a state law -- it's a national law that if you don't get enough tips to equal out to the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour your employer must make up the difference. EXAMPLE: you work 5 hours and make and only make $20, that's $5.60 less than minimum wage for the day. So, all waiters / waitresses make at least minimum wage -- just like all the rest of us employees. I'm a waitress in a smalltown in Louisiana. Most restuarants here pay $2.13 an hour, not including tips. Our night shift is 5 hours, which I can make anywhere from $30 - $140 that night. It all depends on the customers you get(good or bad tippers), if you're a good server, and if it's slow or busy that night.
