The membrane potential of endothelial cells is an important determinant of endothelial functions, including regulation of vascular tone. We investigated whether adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels were involved in the response of membrane potential to hyperosmolality in cultured human aorta
Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) was employed to visualize and measure membrane potential changes in several types of cultured adherent cells, such as human fibroblasts, mouse mammary tumor C127 cells, and human saphenous vein endothelial cells, preloaded with the anionic
Immunosuppression by the fungal metabolite cyclosporin A (CsA) is characterized by functional inhibition, rather than destruction of cells. Because activation of immune cells involves intracellular signalling events associated with modulations of cell transmembrane potential (TMP), we tested the ability of

To study cellular damage induced by Cinnamomum verum essential oil in Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213. The effect of cinnamon bark essential oil on these two strains was evaluated by plate counts, potassium leakage, flow cytometry

The aim of this study was to characterize the mechanism implicated in Zn(2+) transport in MDCK cells. Trace elements such as Zn(2+), Cd(2+) or Cu(2+) induced MDCK cell depolarization at the micromolar level as demonstrated by bis-oxonol fluorescence and whole-cell
