How can you use “permeability” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
VEGF is a 45 kDA heparin-binding homodimeric glycoprotein with a predominant specificity to vascular endothelial cells [ 4 5 6 7 ] . Recent investigations demonstrate that VEGF increases vascular permeability [ 4 ] , endothelial cell proliferation in vitro [ 8 ] , and angiogenesis in vivo [ 9 ] . We have previously demonstrated that VEGF mRNA is upregulated in rat gastrocnemius muscle following 1 hour of acute submaximal treadmill exercise [ 10 ] , in dog gastrocnemius muscle following 1 hour of electrical stimulation [ 11 ] , and in human vastus lateralis following 30 min of one-legged knee extension exercise at 50% maximal capacity [ 12 ] . Other studies show similar upregulation of VEGF mRNA in chronically electrically stimulated rat skeletal muscle [ 13 14 ] , and in human vastus lateralis following 45 min of one-legged knee extension exercise [ 15 ] .
First, GABA might affect the permeability of gap junction channels.
Although at the present time it is difficult to comment on the pathophysiological significance of increased MMP-9 release, it is perhaps noteworthy that increased MMP-9 expression has been correlated with increased apoptosis [ 52 ] and increased microvascular permeability [ 53 ] , events possibly involved in the opening of the blood-brain barrier [ 54 ] and potential injury to the brain [ 50 ] .
Permeability was measured as increase in OD of abluminal chamber medium due to migration of Evans Blue dye from the luminal chamber.
The effects of a single AQP have been addressed by antisense experiments that measured changes in xylem pressure and compared water permeability of protoplasts from control and transgenic antisense AtPIP1;2 (PIP1b) plants [ 12].
