Example sentences for: nephron

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

Microdissection of nephron segments was performed in the kidney of New Zealand White rabbit as previously described [ 44 ] . The following segments were dissected: glomeruli, proximal convoluted tubules (PCT), proximal straight tubules (PST), thin limbs of Henle's loop (tDL/tAL), thick ascending limb (TAL), distal convoluted tubules (DCT), cortical collecting ducts (CCD) and medullary collecting duct (MCD) cells.
Total RNA was purified from dissected nephron segments using Tri Reagent (Molecular Research Center) and reverse-transcribed to single-stranded cDNA using Moloney murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase and 2.5 μM of random hexamers according to the manufacturer's protocol (GeneAmp RNA PCR kit, Perkin Elmer Cetus, Norwalk, CT).
Isolation of renal microvessels and dissection of nephron segments
2 receptor mRNA expression was detected in the kidney and this was more pronounced in the renal cortex than in the medulla, no specific regions of EP 2 receptor mRNA expression could be detected in rabbit kidney by in situ hybridization [ 19 ] . Nonetheless, low levels of EP 2 receptor mRNA expression were detected by RT-PCR or RNase protection assay in nephron segments within the kidney including preglomerular vasculature, glomeruli, thin limbs of Henle's loop and collecting ducts.
To further elucidate the distribution of EP2 receptor along the nephron, nephron segments were dissected and expression of EP2 was determined using RT-PCR.
