Definition:
(n.) The act of flowing in; as, an influx of light.
(n.) A coming in; infusion; intromission; introduction; importation in abundance; also, that which flows or comes in; as, a great influx of goods into a country, or an influx of gold and silver.
(n.) Influence; power.
Example Sentences:

(2) At its vanguard is the historic quarter of Barriera di Milano, which is being transformed by an influx of artists and galleries.
(3) During both influx and efflux experiments the lenses of both groups released a small of proteins, but no difference found between the two groups.
(4) It is concluded that a Na-H antiport system in vascular smooth muscle regulates Na influx rate, contributes to intracellular pH regulation and influences basal levels of Na,K-pump activity.
(5) beta-Adrenergic blockade and Ca2+ antagonists markedly suppressed Ca2+ influx, phospholipase A2 activity, phospholipase C activity and cell death.
(6) Since the effects of T3 on thymocyte adenylate cyclase activity, cAMP concentration, and 2-DG uptake occur subsequent to these effects on calcium metabolism and require the presence of Ca2+ in the extracellular fluid, we suggest that an increase in [Ca2+]i, due at least partly to an influx of extracellular calcium, is the initiating event in these plasma membrane-mediated responses of the rat thymocyte to T3.
(7) These studies indicate that, in three models of acute liver injury, the net influx of calcium across the plasma membrane is increased early in the evolution of the injury before irreversible damage occurs.
(8) The same experimental conditions that favored a large component of Cao-activated Na efflux also caused a large increase in Ca influx.
(9) Intratracheal instillation of neutralizing concentrations of anti-TNF markedly reduced PMN influx measured at 4 hours but had no effect on PMN recruitment quantitated at 2 hours.
(10) This response seemed to be triggered mainly by the influx of Ca2+ through L-type Ca2+ channel activated by membrane depolarization, which was caused by the ATP-induced inward current.
(11) Addition of Ni2+ prior to TRH blunted the component of the TRH-induced transient increase in [Ca2+]i dependent on influx of Ca2+.
(12) Studies with 45Ca2+ showed that vasopressin both mobilised Ca2+ from intracellular stores and increased the influx of extracellular Ca2+ into A10 cells.
(13) The filling state of intracellular Ca2+ stores has been proposed to regulate Ca2+ influx across the plasma membrane in a variety of tissues.
(14) Azide, but not iodoacetate (IAA), significantly depressed influx.
(15) Calcium channels, which play a primary role in the control of the calcium influx into cardiac cells, were initially studied by recording macroscopic currents in multicellular preparations.
(16) Inhibition of Ca influx and Ca current by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) was studied in single synaptic terminals of isolated retinal bipolar neurons.
(17) From this, and previous studies indicating a dependency of contraction frequency on the inward verapamil-sensitive Na influx, it is suggested that the drugs modify the automaticity of this preparation by a primary influence on membrane Na exchange.
(18) But the release was also inhibited by the calmodulin antagonists, W-7 and mepacrine, suggesting that the influx of calcium in the permeabilized cells acts primarily through calmodulin-mediated enzyme activation.
(19) The appearance in aqueous humor of selected metabolites of arachidonic acid metabolism at various times was correlated with the influx of protein and myeloperoxidase activity in the iris-ciliary body.
(20) On the contrary the influx of Ca2+ during the first 5 s was not inhibited by any of the conditions indicated before, except by nisoldipine.
