extracellular compartment

This is different than normal saline, which shifts quickly into the rest of the extracellular compartment.

It consist of cells, and extracellular compartment of fibers.

The extracellular compartment consists of collagen fibers bundles embedded in ground substance.

Leakage of the protein-rich plasma component into the extracellular compartment leads to the formation of edema.

Instead, the channels formed by these proteins (called pannexins) act as very large transmembrane pores that connect the intra- and extracellular compartments.

Such an effect along with the antinatriuretic effect of hyperinsulinaemia expands the extracellular compartment at the expense of intracellular dehydration.

In order to maintain osmotic balance, the extracellular compartments of a mammal's body must be able to excrete and absorb water to and from the environment.

SFRPs are able to bind Wnt proteins and Fz receptors in the extracellular compartment.

Glycerol is distributed uniformly throughout the head, the thorax, and the abdomen of insects, and is in equal concentration in intracellular and extracellular compartments.

Therefore, they hypothesized that the potassium released to extracellular compartment during axonal activity entered and depolarized nearby astrocytes, where it was transported away by unfamiliar mechanism, which caused depolarization on astrocytes distant from site of stimulation.

Haemoglobin, a scavenger of NO which is presumably confined to the extracellular space, also blocks the induction of LTP r141-143, implying that NO (or another haem-binding molecule, such as CO) is released into the extracellular compartment.

This process constitutes the fundamental event of signal transduction through a membrane, in which a signal in the extracellular compartment is "sensed" by a receptor and is converted in the intracellular compartment to a different chemical form, i.e. that of a phosphorylated tyrosine.

Our previous study showed that subcutaneously injected SOD was predominantly localised in extracellular compartments, and our present study showed that the SOD activity in intracellular compartments of the ratstomach did not increase after the subcutaneous injection of human SOD.
