VEGF increases the permeability of sheep pleura ex vivo through VEGFR2 stimulation
(2014)
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a cytokine that increases vascular permeability to water and proteins and induces angiogenesis, has been implicated in the development of pleural effusions. Inflammatory and ...
Evidence for non genomic action of 17 beta estradiol on transepithelial resistance of human fetal membranes
(2011)
Background: The role of hormones in the transport mechanisms of human fetal membranes in pregnancy is unclear. Estrogens are essential hormones in pregnancy and they play an important role in the ion transport via membranes. ...
Rapid effects of 17 beta-estradiol and progesterone on sheep visceral and parietal pleurae via a nitric oxide pathway
(2002)
We investigated the effects of 17beta-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 ...
Role of Histamine in Altering Fluid Recycling in Normal and Post-Traumatic Rabbit Peritoneum
(2014)
This study aims to investigate if histamine induces electrochemical alterations in the normal and post-traumatic peritoneum. Peritoneal rabbit specimens were obtained before surgery and 10 days post-operatively and were ...
IGF-1 alters the human parietal pleural electrochemical profile by inhibiting ion trans-cellular transportation after interaction with its receptor
(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 ...
