Intracellular chloride activities in canine tracheal epithelium. Direct evidence for sodium-coupled intracellular chloride accumulation in a chloride-secreting epithelium.
Canine tracheal epithelium secretes Cl via an electrogenic transport process that appears to apply to a wide variety of secretory epithelia. To examine the mechanisms involved, intracellular chloride activity, acCl, was measured with Cl-selective intracellular microelectrodes. The results indicate that when the rate of secretion was minimal acCl was 37 mM; with stimulation of secretion the intr...
متن کاملGenetically Encoded Optical Sensors for Monitoring of Intracellular Chloride and Chloride-Selective Channel Activity
This review briefly discusses the main approaches for monitoring chloride (Cl(-)), the most abundant physiological anion. Noninvasive monitoring of intracellular Cl(-) ([Cl(-)]i) is a challenging task owing to two main difficulties: (i) the low transmembrane ratio for Cl(-), approximately 10:1; and (ii) the small driving force for Cl(-), as the Cl(-) reversal potential (E(Cl)) is usually close ...
متن کاملMeasurement of methylene chloride.
I read with great interest the paper ‘Characteristics of peaks of inhalation exposure to organic solvents’ (Preller et al., 2004). I noticed that the authors used the MiniRAE Plus Professional Photoionization Detector (PID) (RAE Systems USA) to measure the total organic solvents exposure. My company, Shawcity Ltd, has represented RAE Systems in the UK for 10 years, and we are therefore very fam...
متن کاملIntracellular chloride activity increases in guinea pig ventricular muscle during simulated ischemia.
We investigated the effects of simulated ischemia on intracellular Cl- activity ([Cl-]i) in isolated guinea pig ventricular papillary muscles using ion-selective microelectrode techniques. Simulated ischemia in ventricular muscles was produced by stopping the flow of superfusion and immersing preparations in mineral oil as previously described [B. Vanheel, L. Leybaert, A. De Hemptinne, and I. L...
متن کاملIntracellular chloride accumulation and subcellular elemental distribution during atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Ion channel remodeling occurs during atrial fibrillation (AF); however, the extent of alteration in the subcellular distribution of elements (Na, K, Cl, Ca, Mg, P) is unknown. Electron probe microanalysis was used to determine the total (free+bound) in vivo subcellular concentration of these elements during AF. METHODS AND RESULTS The left atrial appendage (LAA) was snap-frozen in ...
