Example sentences for: homeostasis
How can you use “homeostasis” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In an unrelated study, we investigated the effects of mefloquine on global transcription in rat neuroblastoma (NG108) cells using microarrays [ 7 ] . Mefloquine caused a striking upregulation of growth arrest and development protein 153 (GADD153), a transcription factor selectively modulated under conditions of ER stress [ 8 ] . Taken together, these observations suggest that mefloquine might perturb the function of the ER via a disruption of calcium homeostasis.
Non-REM sleep (NREMS) intensity, quantified as EEG power in the delta frequency range (1-4 Hz), and NREMS consolidation are in a quantitative and predictive relationship with sleep history: both variables increase with the duration of prior wakefulness and subsequently decline during NREMS [ 3 4 10 12 13 ] . These variables are thus quantitative markers of NREMS homeostasis and are presumed to reflect an underlying physiological drive for sleep [ 4 ] .
The role of mesenchymal cells in homeostasis of normal tissues (and cancer) is still poorly understood.
In any case, the demonstrated effect of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D on CaT1 mRNA shown here in Caco-2 cells is consistent with the idea that the active metabolite of vitamin D could increase the number of CaT1 calcium transporters in the plasma membrane and could therefore be responsible for the higher rates of calcium influx seen across the brush border membrane in vitamin D-replete animals [ 9 27 ] thereby playing a key gatekeeper role in increasing the efficiency of intestinal calcium absorption and maintaining calcium homeostasis.
In other conditions with chronic diarrhea, such as inflammatory bowel disease, renal stones have been composed of calcium phosphate or oxalate [ 32 ] . Alternatively, it is possible that both SI and lactase are connected mechanistically to intestinal calcium homeostasis through molecular interactions with calcium transporters.
