Osmotic pressure. A general discussion

CALCULATION OF OSMOTIC PRESSURE USING A CLOSED SYSTEM MODEL

In this work we have used a closed system model to derive an analytical equation for the osmotic pressure of two component electrolyte and non-electrolyte solutions. In order to do so, we have used an equation of state, known as the dense system equation of state (DSEOS), for the model system. Based on the model, a new definition is given for the osmotic pressure of a closed system. Good ag...

and discussion of results Increased plasma levels of LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, TG, apoB and apoE, as well as decreased plasma levels of HDL cholesterol, apoA1 and apoA2 are intermediate phenotypes of CVD. These quantitative traits in the lipid metabolism pathway are considered to be among the main risk factor for development of atherosclerosis 1,2 , the primary cause of CVD. Over the ...
