Nanoparticles (NPs) can add functionality (e.g., catalytic, optical, rheological) to an oil-water interface. Adsorption of ∼10 nm NPs can be reversible; however, the mechanisms for adsorption and its effects on surface pressure remain poorly understood. Here we demonstrate how the
Adult amphibian skin actively transports Na+ from its apical to basolateral side while in turn, K+ is recycled through Na+, K+-ATPase and K+ channels located in the basolateral membrane. We previously found that PRL stimulates Na+ transport in the skin
Periadventitial adipose tissue produces vasoactive substances that influence vascular contraction. Earlier studies addressed this issue in aorta, a vessel that does not contribute to peripheral vascular resistance. We tested the hypothesis that periadventitial adipose tissue modulates contraction of smaller arteries
