Example sentences for: plasma
How can you use “plasma” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Several lines of evidence suggest that elevated catecholamine levels are cardiotoxic [ 15 ] . Elevated plasma norepinephrine levels are hypothesized to cause direct myocardial damage through many mechanisms, which may be amplified by concomitant alpha-1 blockade.
The DLG5 gene encodes for a protein that is a member of the MAGUK (Membrane Associated Guan late Kinase homologs) family of proteins located in the plasma membrane [ 2 ] . MAGUK is a new family of proteins that act as a molecular scaffold for intracellular signaling pathways [ 11 ] . The MAGUK family of proteins is characterized by domains that interact with other proteins to create an assembly of large multi-protein complexes [ 10 ] . The PDZ (PSD-95, DLG and ZO-1) domains are the best characterized for their binding to the C-terminal region of channels and transmembrane proteins [ 11 ] . Usually each protein has 1-3 copies of such domains [ 8 12 13 ] . The SH3 domain (Src homology 3) are present in proteins that couple transmembrane receptors to signaling molecules [ 14 ] . The presence of this domain in MAGUKs increases their possibilities of interacting with signaling pathways.
In agreement with previous studies, the plasma NO metabolite content in the present study was minimally elevated in the hypoxic group.
For example, statins have been proposed to cause co-localization of α-secretase and APP within lipid rafts [15,33]; statins might also induce modification of the structure and activity of a protein in the plasma membrane α-secretase complex, perhaps in an action similar to how statins bind and “lock” cell-surface integrins [34].
The class of TZDs works to lower plasma glucose levels by increasing insulin sensitivity in muscle and liver [22].
