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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
