Words similar to luminal
Example sentences for: luminal
How can you use “luminal” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Water permeability (P f , μm s -1) was then determined from the equation P f = J v /(A s V w δC osmol ) where A s = luminal surface area (π DL), V w = partial molar volume of water (18 ml/M), δC osmol = transepithelial osmolality gradient [ 18 ] . When the effect of TEA on water movement was examined, TEA bromide (10 mM) was added to the bathing medium and the NaCl concentration was reduced by 10 mM to maintain the osmolality constant.
Permeability was measured as increase in OD of abluminal chamber medium due to migration of Evans Blue dye from the luminal chamber.
This is in agreement with previous studies which demonstrate that EP 2 is expressed and highly regulated in uterine luminal epithelium cells by ovarian steroids during the peri-implantation period [ 5 21 34 35 ] . The change in level of the EP 2 receptor expression in the uterus may contribute to the increase in G S protein content and cAMP concentration in mid-gestation and the decrease at term [ 26 27 ] . Because the EP 2 receptor is a G S -coupled cAMP-stimulating receptor, the EP 2 receptor may participate in the physiological regulation of uterine relaxation during pregnancy and the transition into uterine contraction at the onset of the labor.
LHR expression was also detected in nonpregnant human uterus (glandular and luminal epithelial cells, stromal cells, myometrial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells), syncytiotrophoblast of midterm but not term human placenta, fetal membranes and decidua [ 28 ] , human and rat brain [ 29 30 ] , rat prostate [ 14 15 ] , human trophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast from early pregnancies [ 31 ] , porcine fallopian tubes and umbilical cord [ 16 32 ] , ovarian, decidual, endometrial and luteal macrophages [ 22 33 ] , and ovarian cancer cell cultures and tumor tissues [ 34 ] .
This finding suggests that the underlying abnormality is present at the luminal side of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) complex and is due to an abnormality of the cerebral vessels since it is unlikely that α-galactosidase A crosses the BBB to any appreciable extent.
