The cortex of the kidney is the second site of the enzyme arginase in the body. The major function of this enzyme is the synthesis of the precursor of creatine, guanidinoacetic acid. When endogenous (nonhepatic) proteins are hydrolyzed, there is a steady release of their constituent amino aci...
Functional and morphologic studies of the adrenal cortex and kidney have been carried out in pregnant sheep with spontaneous or dietary restriction-induced ovine toxaemia. It was found that proteinuria was an inconstant feature and no animal showed glomerular lesions analogous to those found in human ...
Under conditions of decreased blood flow or volume, the enzyme renin is released into the circulation at an increased rate by cells of the juxtaglomerular apparatus of the kidney. Renin release has also been associated with potassium loading or sodium depletion. Renin in the peripheral circulation ...
肾脑表达蛋白(the kidney and brain expressed protein,KIBRA)是由WWC1基因编码的突触后蛋白,可以调控突触可塑性及脑组织体积[1-3]。KIBRA基因常见的单核苷酸多态性位点rs17070145位于染色体第九号内含子[4]。既往研究发现KIBRA rs17070145...
MICROSOMAL MIXED FUNCTION OXIDASE SYSTEMThe concentrations of cadmium, copper, and zinc have been determined in tissue samples of kidney cortex collected from 399 deceased persons autopsied in Dsseldorf and Duisburg, West Germany. The mean concentrations (geometric means) were: Cd: 17.0 g/g wet ...

Fibroblast-like African green monkey kidney cells (Vero) and C2C12 murine myoblasts were from the collection of Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas (Madrid). They were cultured in DMEM with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Sigma or Biowest) and antibiotics (100 U/ml penicillin and 100...
The function of the adrenal cortex is to produce the appropriate steroid hormones in normal amounts. Regulatory mechanisms both within the adrenal cell and within the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis normally ensure that this function is properly perf
In contrast, the left gland is crescent shaped. Each adrenal gland sits on top of its partner kidney. B. The adrenal gland has three distinct layers. The capsule is the outer protective covering of the adrenal gland. Immediately below the capsule is the cortex, which is the location of ...
