Does biocompatibility reduce inflammation-induced apoptosis in mesothelial cells exposed to peritoneal dialysis fluid?
Inflammation cooperates with high GDP PD fluids to promote mesothelial cell death, which is resistant to several therapeutic approaches. This information provides a framework for selection of PD fluid during peritonitis.
The splanchnic tissues extract almost all of the dietary aspartate in preterm infants. The majority of the labeled carbon is recovered in expired breath, making it most likely that the sequestered carbon skeleton of aspartate is utilized for energy generation.
