Fluid Transport in the Extracellular Matrix:Kinetic Changes Induced by Metabolic Inhibitors

Rapid Changes in Nucleoside Transport Induced by Growth Inhibitors

Aqueous extracts of murine embryonic or uterine tissue, or [(6)N]O(2)'-dibutyryl 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (dbc-AMP) which were cytostatic for the murine mastocytoma P815Y in vitro also induced rapid changes in the incorporation of exogenous nucleosides into acid-insoluble material. However, these alterations were not a consequence of growth arrest. Different dose-response curves were obtai...

Relationship between cerebral blood flow changes and cortical extracellular fluid pH during cerebral metabolic depression induced by althesin.

Baboons anaesthetized with halothane and nitrous oxide in oxygen were given Althesin 0.05 ml kg-1 i.v. Cerebral blood flow (c.b.f.) was measured by an electromagnetic flowmeter and by xenon clearance whilst extracellular fluid (e.c.f.) pH of the parietal cortex was measured with a micro pH electrode. Carotid blood flow (carBF) began to decrease and carotid vascular resistance (carVR) to increas...

Drug-Induced Changes in Metabolomics of Plasma, Brain Extracellular Fluid and Cerebrospinal Fluid

Metabolic and Ultrastructural Changes Induced in Adipose Tissue by Insulin

The addition in vitro of insulin to rat adipose tissue (epididymal) produces marked metabolic changes which may be followed by measurement of the net gas exchange of the tissue. Using this method to monitor the metabolic action of insulin, concomitant observations with the electron microscope on the tissue have been made. These reveal that pronounced morphological changes are induced by insulin...

Correction of metabolic alkalosis by the kidney after isomertric expansion of extracellular fluid.

Metabolic alkalosis was induced in dogs by administering ethacrynic acid and sustained by feeding a chloride-deficient diet. At the height of the alkalosis extracellular fluid was expanded "isometrically," i.e., with an infusion that duplicated plasma sodium, chloride, and bicarbonate concentrations. Correction of metabolic alkalosis promptly followed such expansion and was attributed to the se...
