Toxicity of Nanoparticles and an Overview of Current Experimental Models
Nanotechnology is a rapidly growing field having potential applications in many areas. Nanoparticles (NPs) have been studied for cell toxicity, immunotoxicity, and genotoxicity. Tetrazolium-based assays such as MTT, MTS, and WST-1 are used to determine cell viability. Cell inflammatory response induced by NPs is checked by measuring inflammatory biomarkers, such as IL-8, IL-6, and tumor necrosi...
متن کاملInterconnected-tubes model of hepatic elimination.
The distributed-tubes model of hepatic elimination is extended to include intermixing between sinusoids, resulting in the formulation of a new, interconnected-tubes model. The new model is analysed for the simple case of two interconnected tubes, where an exact solution is obtained. For the case of many strongly-interconnected tubes, it is shown that a zeroth-order approximation leads to the co...
متن کاملHepatic elimination of renin in man.
1. Hepatic elimination of renin was measured in 10 well-compensated cardiac patients with normal liver function during a control period and during a period of reduced hepatic plasma flow, induced by physical exercise (seven patients) or intravenous infusion of lysine vasopressin (three patients). 2. Hepatic renin elimination rate (hepatic plasma flow x arterial-hepatic vein difference of plasma...
متن کاملHepatic elimination of flowing substrates: the distributed model.
An earlier model of hepatic elimination with functionally identical sinusoids is extended by introducing statistical distributions of enzyme contents per sinusoid and of blood flow per sinusoid, these being either uncorrelated or closely correlated. The steady-state theory of the resulting distributed model is developed, including methods of determining experimentally the coefficients of variat...
متن کاملInterconnected-tubes model of hepatic elimination: steady-state considerations.
In the interconnected-tubes model of hepatic transport and elimination, intermixing between sinusoids was modelled by the continuous interchange of solutes between a set of parallel tubes. In the case of strongly interconnected tubes and for bolus input of solute, a zeroth-order approximation led to the governing equation of the dispersion model. The dispersion number was expressed for the firs...
