Flux measurements of cations using radioactive tracers.

چکیده
Standard procedures for the tracing of ion fluxes into roots of plants are described here, with emphasis on cations, especially potassium (K(+)). We focus in particular on the measurement of unidirectional influx by use of radiotracers and provide a brief introduction to compartmental analysis by tracer efflux (CATE).

The Permeability of the Human Erythrocyte to Sodium and Potassium
Measurements have been made on the permeability of the human erythrocyte to Na and K in vitro, using radioactive tracers to observe the system in the steady state. The average inward K flux is 1.67 m.eq./liter cells hour, and the apparent activation energy is 12,300 +/- 1300 calories/mol. The inward K flux is independent of the external K concentration in the range of concentrations studied (4 ...
متن کاملContributions to the Study of Blood Brain Flux Using Radioactive Tracers
In this paper, we present an original radiocirculographic method for investigates of cerebral blood flow, which has proven to be very useful, simple, and efficient for studies of brain hemodynamics. Physical considerations on injected radioactive tracer in cardiovascular system, allowed us to state a relationship for the blood flux, F, valued as the amount of fluid-blood that traverses a vascul...
متن کاملThe measurement of blood flow in humans using radioactive tracers.
Since the first description of the movement of blood around the body by William Harvey, the accurate measurement of blood velocity has provided a major challenge for medical science. This review looks at the contribution made by techniques using radioactive tracers. Initially consideration is given to the fundamental problem of how to measure the amount of radiotracer in an organ with sufficien...
متن کاملApplication of radiolabeled tracers to biocatalytic flux analysis.
Radiolabeled tracers can provide valuable information about the structure of and flux distributions in biocatalytic reaction networks. This method derives from prior studies of glucose metabolism in mammalian systems and is implemented by pulsing a culture with a radiolabeled metabolite that can be transported into the cells and subsequently measuring the radioactivity of all network metabolite...
متن کاملIndustrial Flotation Process Modelling : Rtd Measurement by Radioactive Tracer Technique
The residence time of liquid and solid was determined in flotation banks of mechanical cells and flotation columns at Salvador Division, Codelco-Chile. The estimation was developed from residence time distribution (RTD) measurements using radioactive tracers. Results allowed the estimation of effective pulp volumes in flotation banks and columns. It was found that industrial flotation banks are...
