• Development of an egg-white bioassay for monitoring biotin levels in urine and serum 

      Zarogiannis, S.; Liakopoulos, V.; Hatzoglou, C.; Vogiatzidis, K.; Salmas, M.; Stefanidis, I.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Molyvdas, P. A.; Lafis, S. (2007)
      This article reports on the development of a simple and cost-effective bioassay for the detection of biotin in urine and serum, based on the very selective binding of avidin and biotin. Avidin was allowed to react without ...
    • Effect of adrenaline on transmesothelial resistance of isolated sheep pleura 

      Zarogiannis, S.; Hatzoglou, C.; Stefanidis, I.; Matafia, G.; Vogiatzidis, K.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Molyvdas, P. A. (2006)
      The effect of adrenaline on the transmesothelial resistance (R-TM) of sheep's visceral and parietal pleura was studied using the Ussing chamber technique. Basal transmesothelial resistance of visceral pleura was found to ...
    • Effect of sodium-potassium pump inhibition by ouabain on the permeability of isolated visceral sheep peritoneum 

      Zarogiannis, S.; Liakopoulos, V.; Hatzoglou, C.; Kourti, P.; Vogiatzidis, K.; Potamianos, S.; Eleftheriadis, T.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Molyvdas, P. A.; Stefanidis, I. (2007)
      The permeability for small solutes and the ultrafiltration capacity of the peritoneum are essential for effective peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment. Elucidation of the factors that regulate these two properties is therefore ...
    • mu-Opioid influence on transmesothelial resistance of isolated sheep pleura and parietal pericardium 

      Vogiatzidis, K.; Hatzoglou, C.; Zarogiannis, S.; Matafia, G.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Molyvdas, P. A. (2006)
      The effect of morphine (mu-opioid receptor agonist) on the transmesotbelial resistance (R-TM) of sheep's pleura and parietal pericardium was studied using the Ussing chamber technique. Basal transmesothelial resistance of ...
    • mu-Opioid stimulation of isolated parietal sheep peritoneum decreases peritoneal permeability in vitro 

      Zarogiannis, S.; Vogiatzidis, K.; Hatzoglou, C.; Liakopoulos, V.; Potamianos, S.; Eleftheriadis, T.; Dovas, S.; Kourti, P.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Molyvdas, P. A.; Stefanidis, I. (2007)
      The peritoneal mesothelium is one of the main barriers to ion transport in peritoneal dialysis. In a previous study, we showed the existence of a micro-opioid influence on the in vitro ionic permeability of serosal membranes ...
    • Physiology of pericardial fluid production and drainage 

      Vogiatzidis, K.; Zarogiannis, S. G.; Aidonidis, I.; Solenov, E. I.; Molyvdas, P. A.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Hatzoglou, C. (2015)
      The pericardium is one of the serosal cavities of the mammals. It consists of two anatomical structures closely connected, an external sac of fibrous connective tissue, that is called fibrous pericardium and an internal ...
