(19) 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.
(20) A state of net secretory fluid flux was induced in isolated jejunal loops in weanling pigs by adding theophylline or cholera toxin to the lumen of the isolated loops.
Retting
Definition:
(n.) The act or process of preparing flax for use by soaking, maceration, and kindred processes; -- also called rotting. See Ret.
(n.) A place where flax is retted; a rettery.
Example Sentences:
(1) The rearrangement was presumed to be responsible for activation of the ret gene.
(2) A government-commissioned review into the RET, headed by the businessman and climate change sceptic Dick Warburton, concluded that while it has largely achieved its aims and helped create jobs in clean energy, it should be either wound back or cut off entirely.

(7) The nucleotide sequence indicates that the active ret transforming gene encodes a fusion protein with a carboxy-terminal domain which is 40 to 50% homologous to members of the tyrosine kinase gene family.
(8) But neither option from Dick’s report is closing down the RET, to be clear.” Abbott has previously blamed the RET for having a “significant impact” on power prices, although the Warburton report found this wasn’t the case.
