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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 increase permeability of sheep pleura in vitro
(2012)
Background: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) 2 and 9 are two gelatinase members which have been found elevated in exudative pleural effusions. In endothelial cells these MMPs increase paracellular permeability via the ...
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 ...
Insulin-Induced Electrochemical Changes in Pleura are Associated with the Location within the Pleural Cavity
(2011)
Aim: We investigated the effects of insulin on the electrophysiology of sheep pleural specimens obtained from the upper and lower parts of the pleural cavity and the insulin receptor abundance in these regions. Materials ...
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 ...
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 ...
