Osmotic reflection coefficient

[摘要] (cont.) the other for thicker fibers having a range of charge densities. Using physiologically reasonable fiber spacings and charge densities, [sigma]o, for BSA in either type of fiber array was shown to be much larger than (often double) that for an uncharged system. Given the close correspondence between [sigma]o and the [sigma]f; the results suggest that the negative charge of structures such as the endothelial surface glycocalyx is important in minimizing albumin loss from the circulation.
