The antioxidants of human extracellular fluids

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1990
The antioxidants in the aqueous phase of human plasma include ceruloplasmin, albumin (the protein itself and possibly also albumin-bound bilirubin), ascorbic acid, transferrin, haptoglobin, and hemopexin. Assays that attempt to answer the question "what is the most important antioxidant?" are compared, it being concluded that the answer is different ...

Extracellular fluid expansion during parenteral refeeding

Clinical Nutrition, 1992
Life emerged on our planet from a fluid environment which probably contained a similar concentration of sodium and other electrolytes to that of the extracellular fluid of mammals (1). The maintenance of the volume and composition (homeostasis) of this internal fluid surrounding all the body cells is essential for survival. Malnutrition and illness are

Hypertonic Expansion of the Extracellular Fluids

Acta Paediatrica, 1957
Summary1. Sodium chloride was added to the milk given to premature infants and newborn piglets which were then reared by hand.2. The addition of salt led to (a) an abnormal increase of weight; (b) a rise in the serum sodium and chloride; (c) an expansion of the extracellular volume and ultimately massive oedema; (d) a reduction in the catabolism of ...

Renal Regulation of the Extracellular Fluid

Nature, 1948
THE behaviour of the kidney in relation to the electrolytes of the extracellular fluid is usually described in terms of two mechanisms operating to maintain the homceostatic state : (a) Regulation of the concentration of several individual electrolytes and non-electrolytes within a limited range of variability.

Characterizing Extracellular Vesicles from Biological Fluids

Journal of Visualized Experiments
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are structures that are produced from cells and participate in intercellular communication by transporting biomolecules from one cell to another. EVs have been shown to travel short and far distances in the body and are tissue-specific.

Cerebrospinal fluid and brain extracellular fluid in severe brain trauma

2018
Traumatic brain injury is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Pathophysiologic mechanisms of secondary brain injury are complex and still not fully understood. Cerebrospinal fluid deserves attention to detect infectious complications and to identify biomarkers of disease severity and impending secondary brain injury.

Disorders of Cerebrospinal Fluid and Brain Extracellular Fluid

1973
The chemical composition of the extracellular fluid (ECF) of the brain is similar to that of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Brain ECF is inaccessible for studies in humans, and serial determinations are difficult in animals. On the other hand, CSF can be sampled serially, in vivo, without altering physical or chemical parameters.

Proteomics of brain extracellular fluid (ECF) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, 2008
AbstractMass spectrometry has become the gold standard for the identification of proteins in proteomics. In this review, I will discuss the available literature on proteomic experiments that analyze human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain extracellular fluid (ECF), mostly obtained by cerebral microdialysis. Both materials are of high diagnostic value

Regulation of extracellular fluid volume and osmolality

Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 1980
In health, both the total amount and the distribution of water and electrolytes in the body are controlled within narrow limits. While intercompartmental water fluxes depend solely on physical driving forces, the latter are determined by complex circulatory feedback mechanisms that manipulate capillary pressure, and by active transport mechanisms that ...
