Amiloride-sensitive sodium channels on the parietal human peritoneum: Evidence by ussing-type chamber experiments
(2007)The mesothelium is part of the peritoneal water and ion transport barrier essential for peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment and has a central role in the pathogenesis of peritoneal fibrosis and ultrafiltration failure ... -
Effect of adrenaline on the electrophysiologic profile of isolated visceral sheep peritoneum
(2004)The peritoneal mesothelium is a barrier to ion transport in peritoneal dialysis. In the present study, we investigated, by means of Ussing chamber experiments, the effect of adrenaline on the electrical transepithelial ... -
Effect of cimetidine on the electrophysiologic profile of isolated visceral sheep peritoneum
(2009)The peritoneal mesothelium is a barrier to ion transport in peritoneal dialysis. Cimetidine is an H2 receptor antagonist and a potent inhibitor of Na+/H+ antiporter, which is found in the plasma membranes of various cell ... -
Effect of endothelin-1 on the transmesothelial resistance of isolated visceral sheep peritoneum
(2007)The mesothelium is part of the peritoneal barrier that manages the water and ion transport essential for peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment. In addition, it has a central role in the pathogenesis of peritoneal fibrosis and ... -
Effect of sodium-potassium pump inhibition by ouabain on the permeability of isolated visceral sheep peritoneum
(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 ... -
Enhancement of the transmesothelial resistance of the parietal sheep peritoneum by epinephrine in vitro: Ussing-type chamber experiments
(2005)The peritoneal mesothelium constitutes an ion transport barrier that is taken advantage of in peritoneal dialysis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of epinephrine on the electrical transmesothelial ... -
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 ... -
Identifying early abdominal obesity risk in adolescents by telemedicine: A cross-sectional study in Greece
(2020)Obesity and thus, lipotoxicity, is a major health risk factor. Modern exposure to environmental chemicals has contributed significantly to the obesity epidemic. The purpose of this study was to assess, via telemedicine and ... -
Influence of the sodium transport inhibition by amiloride on the transmesothelial resistance of isolated visceral sheep peritoneum
(2005)The peritoneal mesothelium is a barrier to ion transport in peritoneal dialysis. In the present study, we used Ussing chamber experiments to investigate the effect of amiloride on the transmesothelial electrical resistance ... -
Inhibition by mercuric chloride of aquaporin-1 in the parietal sheep peritoneum: an electrophysiologic study
(2006)The peritoneal mesothelium is a barrier to ion transport in peritoneal dialysis. In this study, we used Ussing-chamber experiments to investigate the effect of HgCl2, an aquaporin-1 inhibitor, on the transmesothelial ... -
Methods to measure water permeability
(2017)Water permeability is a key feature of the cell plasma membranes and it has seminal importance for a number of cell functions such as cell volume regulation, cell proliferation, cell migration, and angiogenesis to name a ... -
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 ... -
Rapid effect of dexamethasone on the permeability of visceral sheep peritoneum
(2008)The peritoneal mesothelium is a biologic barrier to water and ion transport. Its functional and structural integrity is crucial for peritoneal dialysis treatment. In vivo studies have shown that corticosteroids increase ... -
Rapid effects of 17β-estradiol and progesterone on sheep visceral and parietal pleurae via a nitric oxide pathway
(2002)We investigated the effects of 17β-estradiol and progesterone on transepithelial electrical resistance (R TE) in sheep visceral and parietal pleurae. Specimens of intact pleurae from adult female sheep were used. The samples ... -
Spironolactone increases permeability of visceral sheep peritoneum
(2009)Aldosterone is a key component of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and spironolactone, an aldosterone receptor blocker, shows beneficial effects in patients with end-stage renal disease and heart failure. The aim ...
