title: [Factors influencing transperitoneal transport of glucose in vitro].
abstract: The effect of mixing fluid intensification, damage of mesothelial cells and gentamicin on the diffusive glucose transport across the peritoneal membrane were evaluated in the presented in vitro studies. A mathematical model of the mass transport was used to calculate the diffusive permeability, expressed as a diffusive permeability coefficient P [cm x s-1], for the investigated specimens. In the control conditions glucose transfer from the interstitial to the mesothelial side of membrane (I-->M) and in the opposite direction (M-->I) remained constant and P value at mean was 2.731 +/- 1.493 [cm x s-1 x 10(-4)]. The change of the stirring rate from 5.5 to 11 mL/min increased P values by about 74% for transport direction I-->M and 58% for M-->I, but change from 11 to 22 mL/min enhanced P at mean by about 42% for the both direction. The damage of the mesothelial layer, using of sodium deoxycholate (2.5 mmol/L; 103.6 mg%), increased the glucose transfer from the interstitial to the mesothelial side of the peritoneum by 41% and to the opposite direction by 57%. Furthermore, gentamicin did not change the I-->M transfer, but diminished M-->I transport by about 12%.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  1. The reducing of unstirred fluid layer at the mesothelium and interstitium--fluid interface and the mesothelium damage increase the diffusive glucose transport in vitro; 2. The unstirred fluid layer restricts glucose transfer more than tissue barrier (mesothelium); 3. The peritoneal glucose transport, directed from the mesothelial to the interstitial side of the peritoneum (but not transfer to the opposite direction), decreases slightly after gentamicin introduction.
