Divalent cations and group-specific chemical modifiers were used to modify sodium efflux in order to probe the molecular structure of sodium channels in dog red blood cells. Hg++, Ni++, Co++, and PCMBS (parachloromercuribenzene sulfonic acid), a sulfhydryl reactive reagent, induce large increases in Na+ permeability and their effects can be described by a curve which assumes 2:1 binding with th...

Aim: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of beta glucan (BG) on experimental colitis model created by using trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS). Material and Methods: Thirty-two Wistar Albino rats were divided equally into four groups as sham control, TNBS, TNBS-BG3, TNBS-BG10 groups. While saline administrated group, TNBS administered intrarectally under anesthesia. BG at a...

The present study presents a non-surgical approach to assess colonic mechanical sensitivity in mice using colonometry, technique which stretch-reflex contractions are measured by recording intracolonic pressures during saline infusion into the distal colon constant rate. Colonometrical has been used function healthy individuals and patients with neurological disorders. Here we found that colono...
