Words similar to fluidity

Example sentences for: fluidity

How can you use “fluidity” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Two important determinants of membrane fluidity are the cholesterol content and the proportions of the fatty acids that comprise the phospholipids of membranes.
The double-bond index of the red cells increased, indicating an increase in red cell membrane fluidity and deformability.
One way to compare the fluidity of membranes between two or more populations is to determine the mean melting point (MMP) of the fatty acids in the total phospholipid fraction of the membrane.
The finding of higher proportions of the high melting saturated fatty acids and lesser amounts of the PUFA with lower melting points in the red cell phospholipids of the SCD subjects relative to the controls prompted us to asses the overall impact of these differences on the relative fluidity of the acyl chains of the phospholipids from the red cells of the SCD patients and the controls by estimating the MMP of the phospholipids using the approach of Jensen and Patton [ 20 ] . The calculated MMP of the SCD subjects was significantly higher than for the controls, 29°C vs 24°C, p < 0.001.
Overall, in the SCD children we studied, cell membrane components that are known to decrease membrane fluidity, such as cholesterol and saturated fatty acids, were associated with a low phase angle while those which increase fluidity, such as long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, were associated with a high phase angle.
