The effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Klebsiella pneumoniae on the bioelectric properties of canine cultured tracheal epithelium was examined. LPS decreased short-circuit current (Isc), and its effects on Isc were reduced when Isc was inhibited by amiloride and indomethacin. We speculate that LPS may selectively inhibit Na+ absorption through the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis by a...

Low concentrations of boron were found to affect the bioelectric field potentials of hypocotyls excised from 4-day-old mung bean (Phaseolus aureus cv. Oklahoma 612) seedlings grown in darkness and irradiated with red light. The significance of this effect is discussed in relation to the possible role of boron in some membrane function.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the external application of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF’s) could enhance the amount of orthodontic tooth movement in young
