The fractional mass of compound in cytoplasmic (or plasma) membranes, lysosomes and mitochondria was calculated based on the mass of compound in each compartment divided by the total mass of compound in these three compartments, at steady state.
In the low uptake compartment, the activity was assumed to be uniformly distributed, and the thickness was determined as the patient-specific weight minus the calculated weight of the high uptake compartment divided by the area of the low uptake compartment.
It was constructed as a single hull design with the internal compartment divided into three sections: forward (command/steering) position, exit chamber and the propulsion section in the back.
The C-sucrose specific radioactivity is the C-radioactivity recovered as sucrose from a compartment divided by sucrose content of the same compartment.
It is calculated as fasting C-peptide secretion (per unit volume of the central compartment) divided by fasting plasma glucose concentration.
Subsequently, cells from both compartments were trypsinized and an ATP assay (CellTiter-Glo, Promega) was conducted to evaluate % of migrated cells (values lower compartment divided by sum of both compartments).
PC is equal to the flux from the donor compartment, divided by the term containing a summation of products of ratios of the forward and backward fluxes from individual compartment.
The phototactic index was calculated as the number of animals in the upper compartment minus the number of animals in the lower compartment divided by the total number of animals [ U-L /(U + M + L)] averaged over the five observations.
For their test of altruistic behavior, the team devised an experimental box with two compartments divided by a transparent partition.
In order to prove this hypothesis, we designed an experiment using an apparatus composed of two compartments divided by a dialysis membrane that l-alanine molecules could freely permeate.
