How To Use hypertonic In A Sentence
- Sputum induction is a respiratory therapy technique that uses hypertonic saline to induce sputum production.
- The investigators derived the protoplasts from GAS by treating the GAS with phage lysin (described below) in a hypertonic medium, to prevent lysis.
- We also show that pathologic hypertonicity levels, as occurring in plasma of patients and animal models of osmoregulatory disorders, inhibited the induction of cyclins and aurora B kinase in response to T cell receptor stimulation in fresh NFAT5 PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
- A horse's sweat is hypertonic ie it contains a higher concentration of salts than the plasma from which it is derived.
- They list such benefits as alleviating pain and reducing inflammation; reducing hypertonicity of muscles; improving joint and muscle function; and reducing and relieving skin irritation, cutaneous lesions with neurodermatitis and psoriasis.

- We also show that pathologic hypertonicity levels, as occurring in plasma of patients and animal models of osmoregulatory disorders, inhibited the induction of cyclins and aurora B kinase in response to T cell receptor stimulation in fresh NFAT5 PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
- Water restriction would lead to more obvious hypertonicity.
- Microarray profiling of wild type worms exposed to non-lethal hypertonicity identified a suite of genes that were also regulated by infection. Elites TV
- We were interested in analyzing how the deficiency of NFAT5 in proliferating cells affected hypertonicity-regulated processes such as the induction of genotoxic stress-like responses and the cell cycle. PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
- Our previous results raised the question of whether the control of the cytoplasmic localization of NFAT5 was necessary to prevent the activation of osmoregulatory responses in the absence of hypertonic stress. PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
