Endothelial cell monolayers on polycarbonate filters present a barrier to low density lipoprotein (LDL) and albumin transport. These cells form a relatively tight monolayer as shown by measurements of electrical resistance across the monolayer (15 omega-cm2). Monocytes are able to migrate freely across the monolayers in response to chemotactic stimuli. Monocyte chemotaxis across the monolayer caused a marked increase in LDL and albumin transport across the monolayer in the direction of monocyte migration. However, transport in the opposite direction was not significantly increased. These results suggest that monocyte migration across the endothelium could lead to an increased LDL content of the intima.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
