Effect of histamine on the electrophysiology of the human parietal pleura
(2011)Introduction: Histamine is involved in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases and regulates the permeability of different tissues. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of histamine on the electrophysiology ... -
Human parietal pleura present electrophysiology variations according to location in pleural cavity
(2008)The aim of the study was to investigate if human pleura from different anatomical locations presents electrophysiology differences. Specimens were stripped over the 2nd-5th rib (cranial), 8th-10th rib (caudal), and mediastinum ... -
Permeability of the arachnoid and pia mater. The role of ion channels in the leptomeningeal physiology
(2012)Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to study the ionic permeability of the leptomeninges related to the effect of ouabain (sodium-potassium-ATPase inhibitor) and amiloride (epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) inhibitor) on ... -
Pleural electrophysiology variations according to location in pleural cavity
(2009)The aim of the study was to compare the electrophysiology profile of sheep pleura originated from different locations of the pleural cavity with the respective profile in humans. Sheep specimens obtained from upper and ... -
Transmembrane resistance and histology of isolated sheep leptomeninges
(2010)Objective: Transmembrane resistance is a measure of ionic permeability. The occurrence of ionic permeability on the leptomeningeal tissue may suggest its contribution to the cerebrospinal fluid turnover. This property will ...
