The concentration unit's milli
osmole kg-1 of water was converted into pressure units, MPa using Vent Hoff relationship at 20oC (Nobel, 1983).
ABSTRACT : Lactose synthase catalyses the formation of lactose which is the major
osmole of bovine milk and regulates the milk volume.
The use of the
osmole gap as a screening test for the presence of exogenous substances.
(29) Osmolarity is a measure of solute concentration and is expressed as the total number of
osmoles of solute per litre of solution (Osm/L).
As a means of adaptation to gradual onset hypernatraemia, the brain increases its intracellular content of idiogenic
osmoles, thus regaining its cell volume.
In the hyponatremic milieu, cells may leak out organic
osmoles including glycine, glutamate, and inositol to maintain osmotic balance with extracellular fluid [30].
