The mitogenic effect of testosterone and 17 beta-estradiol on airway smooth muscle cells
(2011)
Airway disease distribution and/or severity exhibit sex differences suggesting that sex hormones are involved in the respiratory system physiology and pathophysiology. The implication of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) ...
Insulin Alters the Permeability of Sheep Pleura
(2010)
Aim: Insulin promotes ion transportation across epithelia, mainly kidneys, leading to water and electrolyte abnormalities, possibly causing 'insulin oedema syndrome', which rarely presents as pleural effusion. Direct ...
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. ...
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 ...
Role of Electrolytes and Glucose in the Insulin-Induced Electrochemical Effect in Sheep Pleura
(2010)
Aim: Insulin induces electrochemical alterations in sheep visceral and parietal pleura, an effect abolished by the Na(+)-channel blocker amiloride and the Na(+)-K(+) pump inhibitor ouabain. The aim of this study was to ...
Insulin-Induced Electrophysiology Changes in Human Pleura Are Mediated via Its Receptor
(2010)
Background. Insulin directly changes the sheep pleural electrophysiology. The aim of this study was to investigate whether insulin induces similar effects in human pleura, to clarify insulin receptor's involvement, and to ...
Effect of histamine on the electrophysiology of the human parietal pleura
(2011)
Introduction: Histamine is involved in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases and regulates the permeability of different tissues. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of histamine on the electrophysiology ...
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 ...
