Example sentences for: oncotic
How can you use “oncotic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Initially, MTX causes a graded increase in cytosolic free Ca 2+concentration ([Ca 2+] i ). This is followed closely in time by the opening of cytolytic/oncotic pores (COP) that allow the exchange of large organic molecules of molecular weight less than ~800 Daltons across the plasma membrane.
Thus, the ability of MTX to cause zeiosis is specific, but requires the presence of U73343, presumably to block or prevent rapid oncotic cell death.
The cuvette experiments suggest that BAECs challenged with MTX can be rescued from oncotic cell death if U73343 is added to the bath solution within a narrow time frame after the addition of MTX.
First, U73122 and U73343, compounds that are commonly used to examine PLC-dependent mechanisms, potently inhibit MTX-induced change in [Ca 2+] i , vital dye uptake, and oncotic cell death in BAECs.
The large pores activated by MTX have been referred to as cytolytic/oncotic pores, or COP, since their activation ultimately leads to the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), an indication of necrotic or oncotic cell death [ 9].
