(2013)Objective: The effect of IGF-1 in the human pleural permeability and the underlying mechanisms involved were investigated. Design: Specimens from thoracic surgical patients were mounted in Ussing chambers. Solutions ... -
Insulin-Induced Electrophysiology Changes in Human Pleura Are Mediated via Its Receptor
Kouritas, V. K.; Ioannou, M.; Foroulis, C. N.; Desimonas, N.; Evaggelopoulos, K.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Molyvdas, P. A.; Hatzoglou, C. (2010)Background. Insulin directly changes the sheep pleural electrophysiology. The aim of this study was to investigate whether insulin induces similar effects in human pleura, to clarify insulin receptor's involvement, and to ... -
