The kidneys are made up of structures called nephrons, which play a role in all major functions of the organs. Nephrons are found in two sections of the kidney known as the cortex and the medulla and consist of a capillary bundle called a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The average...

In addition to detection offreeandboundMCs, metabolites formed during detoxification of MCs in the liver may also be analysed. The major pathway in depuration of MCs in mammals and aquatic organisms is formation of conjugates such as that formed with glutathione (GSH), MC-LR-GSH (Fig.1)31,3...
Per gram of tissue, the kidneys are among our most highly perfused organs. Yet the renal cortex and, in particular, the renal medulla are susceptible to hypoxia. In turn, hypoxia is a major pathophysiological feature of both acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. We identify seven ...

Considering the possible damage to kidneys by drugs, patients are using the naturally derived substance, including herbal drugs or nutraceuticals. However, the safety concerns of herbal drugs and formulation in inducing kidney injury are an area of research. The present review is a concerted effort ...
with male rat nephrons, female rat nephrons exhibit lower activities of major Na+ and water transporters along the proximal portion of the renal tubule (proximal tubule), resulting in significantly larger fractional delivery of Na+ and water to the downstream nephron segments in female kidneys. Al...
