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