β¦ Synopsis
For the design of a new glucose sensor, a knowledge of the diffusion of all partlclpatmg compounds IS needed A rotating disc electrode covered unth hydrogel layer was used to determme the effectlve dlftislon coefficients (Den) of oxygen, hydrogen peronde and hydroqumone m a hydrogel, which IS used m the sensor Measurements were camed out under steady-state condltlons The three compounds appeared to be slowed by the gel to the same extent A comparison was made between the Den values of glucose and hydroqumone by simultaneous dlffuslon through a hydrogel membrane In this case glucose dlffuslon was slowed to a larger extent than hydroqumone diffusion The effect, however, was independent of the degree of cross-hnkmg of the hydrogel

Recent studies suggest that activation of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channels (mK(ATP)) with diazoxide can protect neurons against ischemic stress. However, it is not yet known whether astrocytes, which are more resilient against ischemia, respond similarly to diazoxide. We exposed cultur
## Abstract Although reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in ischemic preconditioning (IPC)βinduced neuronal protection, several key questions concerning ROS remain to be elucidated. The purpose of this study is to obtain direct evidence for the formation of specific ROS species gener
