High impact information on Electric Capacitance

• Surface plasmon resonance (SPR), electrical capacitance, and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements were used to characterize the interaction of palmitoyl,oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine (POPC) vesicles with the surfaces [1].
• The data show that incubation of cultured skin substitutes in medium containing vitamin C results in greater viability (higher BrdU and MTT), more complete basement membrane development at 2 wk, and better epidermal barrier (lower surface electrical capacitance) at 5 wk in vitro [2].
• N was estimated from the current induced by a saturating concentration of cyclic GMP, while A was estimated from the electrical capacitance of the patch [3].
• Epidermal barrier was evaluated as the change in surface hydration by surface electrical capacitance with the NOVA Dermal Phase Meter [4].
• Short-circuit current (Isc), transepithelial conductance (Gt), electrical capacitance (CT) and the fluctuation in Isc were analyzed in polarized epithelial cells from the distal nephron of Xenopus laevis (A6 cell line) [5].

Biological context of Electric Capacitance

• Aldosterone-induced moulting in amphibian skin and its effect on electrical capacitance [6].
• Using electrical capacitance measurements of solutions of the YY1 zinc finger transcription initiation factor and the adeno-associated viral P5 promoter DNA, we observed a specific dielectric change when a protein-DNA complex was formed [7].

Anatomical context of Electric Capacitance

• N-decylamine released histamine without accompanying degranulation; and it caused a marked swelling of mast cells and a striking decrease of capacitance, although electric capacitance is usually proportional to the size of the cell [8].

Associations of Electric Capacitance with chemical compounds

• The current-voltage characteristics, steady-state diffusion potentials, membrane conductance-temperature relationships, membrane electric capacitance and membrane breakdown voltage have been measured for different mixtures of undecaprenyl phosphate and DOPC [9].
• Cyclic AMP increases electrical capacitance of apical membrane of toad urinary bladder [10].
• Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) increased the electrical capacitance of apical membrane of the toad bladder; this effect was modulated by the osmotic gradient across the tissue [11].
