Charge Structure of the Glomerular Capillary Membrane

Abstract

In 1935 Teorell (see Teorell, 1953,1983) presented his theory about charged membranes; the title of the paper was "An attempt to formulate a quantitative theory of membrane permeability". The theory was based on the ion equilibria resulting from the presence of charged colloids suggested already in 1911 by Donnan - although this early work seems to have attracted little attention until it was summarized in 1922 by Loeb in the book "Proteins and the theory of colloidal behavior.
