Both Water Intoxication and Osmotic BBB Disruption Increase Brain Water Content in Rats

Both water intoxication and osmotic BBB disruption increase brain water content in rats.

Our previous experiments revealed that water intoxication and osmotic BBB disruption in the rat allow penetration of high-molecular substances into the brain and that resulting changes in the internal environment of the CNS lead to pathological development, such as the loss of integrity of myelin. The aim of the present study was to determine whether the previously described phenomena are assoc...

Relationship between Water Content and Osmotic Potential of Lentinula edodes

This study was conducted to understand how osmotic potentials in Lentinula edodes tissues are related to water contents and how they change while a mushroom matures. Water content and osmotic potential of L. edodes mushroom tissues from log cultivation and sawdust cultivation were measured and the relationships were analyzed. Osmotic potentials in the tissues were exponentially proportional to ...
