...M. Hensel; T. Volk; W.J. Kox We investigated in vitro whether endothelial cell edema is induced by cellular hypoxia or oxygen radical formation. Measurements of relative cell volume (RCV) were made using microweight analysis, liquid scintillation spectrometry and analysis of cellular protein...

... of small solutes. Asymmetry of cell membrane transport properties is found in both epithelial and endothelial cell layers and provides the basis for transcellular transport. Furthermore, the asymmetry of membrane transporters such as the blood-brain barrier GLUT1 and the renal sodium-glutamate...
