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

Total microsomes were washed twice with 0.6 M KCl buffer and 100 μg of total membrane protein was applied to a 5-15% SDS polyacrylamide gel.
The incorporation of fatty acids into the mitochondria and microsomes of colon, liver and tumor was determined in mice which consumed each diet.
Li et al [ 5 ] also found that mefloquine inhibited calcium uptake into isolated microsomes from dog brain neurons - presumably via the same mechanism - although the drug was much less potent (IC 50 of 272 μM) than we are reporting it to be.
It would be tempting to speculate that, because mefloquine's effects on rat neuronal ER calcium homeostasis were more potent than that for dog-brain microsomes, there might exist a species difference in sensitivity to the drug.
The effects of mefloquine on ER calcium homeostasis have been examined previously [ 5 6 ] . In experiments with isolated rabbit skeletal muscle microsomes, mefloquine was found to inhibit the uptake of calcium, with an IC 50 of approximately 43 μM [ 6 ] . This effect was exacerbated by treatment with thapsigargin, a specific inhibitor of the ER calcium pump [ 6 ] . Further, the rate of ATP hydrolysis by the ER Ca 2+-ATPase was reduced in the presence of mefloquine (Ki of = 53 μM).
