Effect of amiloride on the intracellular sodium and potassium content of intact Streptococcus faecalis cells in vitro.

چکیده
Amiloride at millimolar concentrations caused marked changes in the growth-dependent intracellular balance of Na+ and K+ in Streptococcus faecalis. These results, whether specific to transport processes or resulting from indirect yet unknown mechanisms, constitute the first evidence of an effect of amiloride on bacterial electrolytes.

Effect of cancer cachexia and amiloride treatment on the intracellular sodium content in tissue cells.
This study was designed to investigate the effects of a growing H6 hepatoma on the intracellular element content in three distinctly different tissue cell populations of the mouse host (hepatocytes, fibroblasts, and crystal enterocytes). X-ray microanalysis measurements of the intranuclear concentrations of several elements (sodium, magnesium, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, and potassium) were m...

Objective(s) The effect of Berberis vulgaris aqueous extract in hepatocarcinogenic rats was studied to investigate the apoptotic and sodium, potassium elements properties. A loss of both intracellular potassium and sodiumoccurs when apoptotic cells shrink and prior to the loss of membraneintegrity. Materials and Methods Forty-eight Sprague dawley rats were randomly divided into 2 groups, normal...
متن کاملCadmium chloride treatment of rats significantly impairs membrane integrity of mesenchymal stem cells via electrolyte imbalance and lipid peroxidation, a possible explanation of Cd related osteoporosis
Objective(s): Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) play an important role in bone health. Cadmium causes osteoporosis, but the exact mechanisms of its effect on MSCs are not known. Materials and Methods: Rats were treated with cadmium chloride (40 mg/l) in drinking water for six weeks, and then the biochemical and morphological studies on MSCs were carried out as a cellular backup for oste...
متن کاملOsmotic stability and sodium and potassium content of L-forms of Streptococcus faecalis.
A stable L-form of Streptococcus faecalis (T(53)) was transferred in media containing decreasing concentrations of sucrose until it grew in medium without added osmotic stabilizer. This L-form (designated T(53I)) was compared with T(53) from which it was derived. The survival of these two L-forms suspended at different osmolalities showed that maximal survival for T(53I) was 350 to 400 milliosm...
