Glucose movement into rat uterine fluid

Process of critical movement of intravascular fluid into intracellular space.

A CCORDING to Chambers and Zweifach, water and water soluble substance move through only intercellular cement and lipophilic substances, 02 and CO2 move mainly through cell membrane. Therefore, the main factor which determines the capillary permeability to water is the porosity of inter-cellular cement. Almost all of physiological phenomena can be explained reasonably by considering that the in...

The movement of amino acids into rabbit oviductal fluid.

Twenty-three amino acids appeared linearly in oviduct fluid to reach an average concentration 27% of that in the plasma, with glycine and alanine present in greatest amount. In contrast, the concentration of urea in the fluid approached its plasma concentration after 1 h, and remained at this level for the duration of the experiment. The oviduct was unable to bring the overall uphill transport ...

Fluid Movement

Fluid reabsorption and glucose consumption in edematous rat lungs.

Solute and water uptake were studied in isolated perfused rat lungs with airspaces filled with the perfusion fluid. The albumin in this solution was labelled with Evans blue (T-1824), and uptake of fluid from the airspaces was documented by an increase in T-1824 concentration in airway fluid of 6.5 +/- 1.6% (n = 5, SEM) at 1 hour and 12.2 +/- 0.9% (n = 10) at 2 hours. The only detectable osmoti...

Fluid movement and creativity.

Cognitive scientists describe creativity as fluid thought. Drawing from findings on gesture and embodied cognition, we hypothesized that the physical experience of fluidity, relative to nonfluidity, would lead to more fluid, creative thought. Across 3 experiments, fluid arm movement led to enhanced creativity in 3 domains: creative generation, cognitive flexibility, and remote associations. Alt...
