Excess brain fluid may cause bad vision in astronautsdoi:10.1016/S0262-4079(19)30805-XCrane, LeahNew scientist
GH deficiency in adults is associated with fatigue, decreased energy, depressed mood, decreased muscle strength, decreased muscle mass, thin and dry skin, increased adipose tissue, and decreased bone density. Treatment with GH reverses some of these abnormalities but can cause fluid retention, ...
Approximately 60% of a typical adult’s body weight consists of fluid. Body fluid is located in two fluid compartments: the intracellular space (fluid in the cells) and the extracellular space (fluid outside the cells). Approximately two-thirds of body fluid is in the intracellular fluid (ICF...
Intracellular compartments are rich in K+(yellow), while extracellular compartments in Na+(red); in both, the sum of K+and Na+concentrations ([K+] and [Na+], respectively) is similar. When intracellular and extracellular compartments are mixed, i.e. a whole tissue chemical analysis is perf...
While involvement of growth factors in neural migration of the forebrain is known, HB-EGF mediated hydrocephalus, particularly, in the adult brain has not been reported. Here we hypothesize that HB-EGF affects VEGF signaling and the fluid circulation in the cerebral ventricles. In testing this ...
present day [35–41]. The subtle relationship between these cytokines and the brain has been nicely put by noting that even when it appears that the nervous system is succumbing to a flared immune system, and the two systems maintain a constant dialogue in the attempt to restore homeostasis ...
TNF excess in neurodegenerative states Twenty years ago, the involvement of unchecked chronic TNF generation, particularly within the brain, in the pathogenesis of stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and AD began to be apparent [32–34]. Refinements of these scientific arguments have accumulated ...
