Composition, biophysical properties, and morphometry of plasma membranes in pulmonary interstitial edema

Palestini et al evaluated the changes in plasma membrane composition, biophysical properties and morphology of pulmonary endothelial cells in anesthetized rabbits receiving 0.5 ml.kg-1.min-1 saline infusion for 180 min, causing mild interstitial edema. Plasma membrane fractions were obtained from lu...

Description
Summary:Palestini et al evaluated the changes in plasma membrane composition, biophysical properties and morphology of pulmonary endothelial cells in anesthetized rabbits receiving 0.5 ml.kg-1.min-1 saline infusion for 180 min, causing mild interstitial edema. Plasma membrane fractions were obtained from lung homogenates with gradient centrifugation, allowing a sixfold enrichment in caveolin-1.
