Characterization of Transport Systems for Solutes at the Blood Side of Endothelial and Parenchymal Cells by Single Circulation Paired-Tracer Dilution: A Review of Recent Studies

  • Chapter
Book cover Cell Membrane Transport

Abstract

Carrier-mediated transport of blood-borne substrates at the blood-tissue interface in the microcirculation is a very rapid process and influx of labelled molecules can often be measured within the time of a single circulation through an organ. The plasma membranes involved in the tracer uptake may be those of (i) the endothelial cell, (ii) parenchymal cell and (iii) neuronal terminals.
