Role of collecting duct urea transporters in the kidney: insights from mouse models. J Membr Biol 212: 119 -131, 2006.Fenton RA, Smith CP, Knepper MA (2006) Role of collecting duct urea transporters in the kidney—insights from mouse models. J Membr Biol 212(2):119–131, available from...
In this review, attention is focused on intracellular signaling pathway of biomarkers associated with the onset of kidney impairment. During the process of development of disease, specific protein selects their signaling systems that are suitable to control their particular functions. This review is ...
Chapter 25 – Plasticity within the Collecting Ducts : What Role Does This Play in Response to Injury?Collecting duct (CD) development is an integral part of normal nephrogenesis. The CD derives from the nephric duct and ureteric bud (UB) of the metanephric kidney. Whereas branching of ...
The present paper reviews mechanisms by which the kidney controls systemic acid-base balance, with emphasis on the role of the distal nephron, and particularly of the cortical distal tubule. These mechanisms are essentially based on H-ion transport along the whole nephron. In proximal tubule cells...
kidney The kidney is the major excretory organ. Left and right, one side of the lumbar bone. (1) renal voiding function; Microscopically, the glomerulus is composed of many very fine capillaries. These capillaries are seen by electron microscopy, with holes on it, just like a sieve. When ...
Calcium-based kidney stone disease is a highly prevalent and morbid condition, with an often complicated and multifactorial aetiology. An abundance of research on the role of specific vitamins (B6, C and D) in stone formation exists, but no consensus has been reached on how these vitamins influ...
The role of growth hormone, insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), and IGF-Binding proteins in experimental diabetic kidney disease. Metabolism 1995; 44: 67–71. CrossRef Bortz JD, Rotwein P, DeVol D, Bechtel PJ, Hansen VA, Hammerman MR. Focal expression of insulin-like growth factor I in...
The kidney has an important role in the regulation of acid-base homeostasis. Renal ammonium production and excretion are essential for net acid excretion under basal conditions and during metabolic acidosis. Ammonium is secreted into the urine by the collecting duct, a distal nephron segment where ...
