Apical membrane permeability of MDCK cells

American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology, 1996
The osmotic water permeability (Pf) and permeability to nonelectrolytes were determined for the apical membrane of clonal strain Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) C12 cells cultured as cysts with the apical membrane facing the surrounding medium. Pf and solute permeabilities were calculated from the rate of volume change of cysts by digitizing images ...

Comparative study of lipophilicity, cell membrane permeability, and intracellular antioxidant capacity of resveratrol and pterostilbene.

Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry
Pterostilbene (PTS), a methylated analog of resveratrol (RES), demonstrates superior bioavailability, potentially attributable to enhanced lipophilicity and cell membrane permeability compared to RES.

Micropatterning Cells on Permeable Membrane Filters

2014
Epithelium is abundantly present in the human body as it lines most major organs. Therefore, ensuring the proper function of epithelium is pivotal for successfully engineering whole organ replacements. An important characteristic of mature epithelium is apical-basal polarization which can be obtained using the air-liquid interface (ALI) culture system.

Insulin and the Permeability of Cell Membranes to Glucose

Nature, 1953
THE effect of insulin in accelerating the peripheral utilization of glucose is generally ascribed to an action on the enzymic carrier system responsible for the intracellular oxidation of glucose, in which the first step is the hexokinase reaction.
