General description

Dextran is a polysaccharide. Dextran fluids behave as colloids and also are used as plasma substitution. It may have siliconizing effect helping in coating raw serosal surfaces.

Application


  • Dextran for drug delivery: Dextran′s role as a biopolymer in drug delivery systems is underscored by its capacity to enhance drug solubility and stability, facilitating controlled release mechanisms crucial for targeted therapy applications (Wagai et al., 2024).

  • Dextran as a blood plasma expander: Dextran serves as a blood plasma expander in medical treatments, effectively restoring blood volume in patients undergoing surgery or suffering from shock, due to its high molecular weight and osmotic properties (Kohashi et al., 2024).

It is widely accepted that dorsal striatum neurons participate in either the direct pathway (expressing dopamine D1 receptors) or the indirect pathway (expressing D2 receptors), controlling voluntary movements in an antagonistically balancing manner. The D1- and D2-expressing neurons are activated

Calcium-dependent release of vasoactive gliotransmitters is widely assumed to trigger vasodilation associated with rapid increases in neuronal activity. Inconsistent with this hypothesis, intact stimulus-induced vasodilation was observed in inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) type-2 receptor (R2) knock-out (KO) mice, in which the
