Influent


Definition:

  • (a.) Flowing in.
  • (a.) Exerting influence; influential.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In isolated perfused rat liver, benzoate addition to the influent perfusate led to a dose-dependent, rapid and reversible stimulation of glutamate output from the liver.
  • (2) This results in an increasing oxygen difference between DO contents in the biofilter influent and effluent.
  • (3) Inhibition was half-maximal at sulfobromophthalein concentrations of approximately 1.2 mumol.l-1 in the influent perfusate and leukotriene uptake was inhibited by maximally 34%.
  • (4) In isolated perfused rat liver maximal rates of 2-[1-14C]oxoglutarate uptake were about 0.4 mumol.g-1 .min-1; half-maximal rates of 2-[14C]oxoglutarate uptake were observed with influent concentrations of about 100 microM.
