1. Alternatively, indirect effects involving the regulation of epithelial cell function by mesenchyme are also possible. 2. As the epithelial cells manufacture the thyroid hormones, the hormones are stored in the thyroglobulin molecule. 3. At the same time the enterotoxin also promotes a net secretion of chloride ions into the gut lumen from the epithelial cells. 4. Dead surface epithelial cells are normally rapidly replaced and the health of the tissue is maintained by a good blood supply. 5. From the epithelial cells the chylomicrons are released into the lymphatic system, which transports the chylomicrons to the blood. 6. In contrast to the surface of a synthetic polymer, however, the epithelial cell surface is highly complex and organised. 7. Invitro, high extracellular calcium concentrations inhibit the proliferation of human colonic epithelial cells and several colonic cancer cell lines. |
