Sentence examples for membrane potential thus from inspiring English sources

However, it is known that silver increases the permeability of bacterial membranes resulting in the collapse of membrane potential thus affecting ion transport processes and the depletion of intercellular ATP [17, 62].

It was widely confirmed that the generation of a large number of ROS can cause phospholipid peroxidation in the inner mitochondrial membrane and that it can also induce a decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential, thus resulting in the rapid release of cytochrome C. We used DCFH-DA as a fluorescent probe to detect the change of ROS.

FCCP as a positive control completely dissipated the membrane potential, thus adding specificity to the reaction.

Upregulation of hERG1b during the S-phase consequently resulted in more depolarized membrane potential thus, assisting the cell cycle progression.

Na+ flux through the channels would depolarize the membrane potential, thus reducing the size and radial spread of the local Ca2+ signal.

This enzyme participates in oxidative phosphorylation, a process which generates and maintains the mitochondrial membrane potential, thus the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential in cells expressing CP60 or CP69 possibly indicates a deleterious effect upon mitochondrial NADH activity.

Such an event would be against the membrane potential and thus be energetically costly.

KATP channels couple the metabolic state of the cell to the membrane potential and thus play a crucial role in many tissues under both physiological and pathological conditions [9].

The results suggest that PTE is neuroprotective against H2O2 induced oxidative stress and cytotoxicity in dIMR32 cells via the mitochondrial pathway by altering the mitochondrial membrane potential and thus reducing cascade of events that leads to apoptosis.

Because rhod123 is cationic, it selectively accumulates in the mitochondria matrix proportional to the electronegativity of the mitochondrial membrane potential and thus provides a quantitative measure of ΔΨm.

The quenching signal in Rhod-loaded cells is indicative of loss of membrane potential and, thus, of mitochondrial function.
