Plasma half-life (T1/2) of unchanged lorazepam in the patient group (11.3 +/- 0.6 h) was not different from that obtained in normals (11.1 +/- 0.9 h).rinary excretion of lorazepam-glucuronide was found to be considerably decreased in chronic renal failure associated with accumulation of high concentrations of this conjugate in plasma during days after a single oral dose. The plasma T1/2 of this conjugate in normals was 20.7 +/- 2.1 h.
A: Microfilaments are the thinnest filament of a eukaryotic cell's cytoskeleton. The linear microfilament chains are composed of actin proteins, which are flexible and relatively strong. A cell's cytoskeleton is a cellular scaffolding consisting of these actin microfilaments, along with intermediate filaments and microtubules. Continue Reading
Lesson Summary. Filaments are the structural proteins of the cell. There are three kinds of filaments: microtubules, intermediate filaments, and microfilaments. Microtubules are the largest filament and act as highways for the cell, transporting materials.
