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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
mu-Opioid stimulation of isolated parietal sheep peritoneum decreases peritoneal permeability in vitro
(2007)
The peritoneal mesothelium is one of the main barriers to ion transport in peritoneal dialysis. In a previous study, we showed the existence of a micro-opioid influence on the in vitro ionic permeability of serosal membranes ...
Insulin causes a transient induction of proliferation via activation of the PI3-kinase pathway in airway smooth muscle cells
(2007)
Insulin regulates glucose metabolism and activates cell growth. As the respiratory system is an alternative route for insulin administration in patients with diabetes mellitus, we studied the effect of insulin on rabbit ...
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 ...
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 ...
Epithelium-dependent regulation of airways smooth muscle function. A histamine-nitric oxide pathway
(1998)
The airway epithelium is responsible for the production of a number of arachidonic acid and non-prostanoid inhibitory factors. Epithelium synthesizes nitric oxide (NO) which may be important in regulating the function of ...
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 ...
