S. Arai and M. Watanabe, An enzymatically modified protein as a new surfactant and its function to interact with water and oil in an emulsion system, in : “Properties of Water in Foods,” D. Simatos and J.L. Multon, eds., Martinus Nijhoff, Dordrecht (1985)....
In limited extent, SP-B and SP-C are also involved in immunomodulation. Although numerous studies have focused on the physiological function of surfactant in the lower airways, relatively little is known about its role in the upper respiratory system. Identification of lamellar bodies in ciliated ...
Upregulating basal secretion and increasing the sensitivity of type II cells to cholinergic stimulation may be adaptative characteristics of torpor that enable type II cells to function effectively at 0-5 degrees C. 展开 关键词: ground squirrel Spermophilus lateralis pulmonary surfactant hibernation ...
The pulmonary surfactant system is complex in terms of its composition and function, and neither the specific functions nor the exact biophysical interactions of its different components are fully understood. During development, numerous regulatory elements interact to affect surfactant function and maturity...
Calculated potential energy of attraction PA and repulsion PR as a function of the distance of a particle from a surface, along with the resultant potential P; predictions based on the DLVO theory The minimum in the potential energy curve corresponds to the closest possible approach, i.e. to ...
The study aimed to characterize the expression and function of SFTA3 at the ocular surface and in tears. Ocular tissues, conjunctival (HCjE) and human corneal (HCE) epithelial cell lines as well as tearfilm of patients suffering from different forms of d
LIPID-PROTEIN INTERACTIONS OF HYDROPHOBIC PROTEINS SP-B AND SP-C IN LUNG SURFACTANT ASSEMBLY AND DYNAMICS Phospholipids have the major role in pulmonary surfactant concerning its biophysical function of reducing surface tension at the alveolar air-liquid interf...

Pulmonary surfactant reduces the surface tension at the air-liquid interface in the entire lung by forming a layer between the aqueous airway liquid and inspired air. The major component of surfactant, dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), is an amphiphatic phospholipid. Its polar head region is ass...
In theory, viscoelastic surfactant doesn't need to add the gel-breaking agents because it can destroy its aggregation form by contacting with hydrocarbon oil in the formation to achieve gel-breaking (Sharma SCA and Aramaki, 2007). However, there are still part of the viscoelastic surfactant that...
RahulMittal, ...Xue-ZhongLiu, inJournal of Genetics and Genomics, 2014 Surfactants Surfactantsare phospholipoproteins known primarily for their function as surface tension-reducing complexes in the alveolar lining of the lung. However, surfactants are also expressed in other organs and are a crucial...
