Follicular Fluid Electrolytes in Ovulation.

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1964
ConclusionsThe Na and K concentration of follicular fluid is similar to that of plasma. The K concentrations of diestrus, estrus, and pre-ovulatory rabbit follicles are not measurably different. Average [K] values are slightly above those for normal plasma.

Protein‐Polymer Dynamic Hydrogels Utilizing Native Ligand Binding for Injectable Therapeutic Delivery and 3D Printing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Dynamic nanocolloidal hydrogels were synthesized via the co‐assembly of ligand‐modified spheroidal hyperbranched poly(glycerol) (HPG) and soluble albumin nanoparticles (SANs). Co‐assembly occurred through self‐association of the HPG, as well as its interaction with SANs via native ligand binding.
