Example sentences for: osmotic

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

  • Before the characterization of TEA, mercurial compounds were among the only known blockers of AQP1, affecting both the constitutive water flux and the regulated ion conductance [ 6 10 ] . For AQP1 channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes, the block of osmotic water flux is 5% in 0.01 mM TEA, 21% in 1 mM TEA, and 36% in 10 mM TEA, as referenced to the osmotic water flux in control AQP1-expressing oocytes [ 5 ] . Data presented here show that the level of block by TEA is comparable or greater for AQP1 channels expressed in mammalian cells.

  • In contrast, preparations of ascending thin limbs that lack AQP1 channels showed essentially no net water flux and no effect of TEA under osmotic gradient conditions.

  • For purposes of determining the water permeability of DTL and ATL, we imposed a 100 mOsmol/kg H 2 O osmotic gradient from bath to lumen with sucrose and determined J v as just described.

  • We have obtained similar osmotic potential results with leaf tissue (data not shown).

  • Furthermore, activation of COP provides the initial driving force for osmotic swelling and bleb formation.
