Abstract

Efferent renal nerve activity was assessed by measurements of the overflow of endogenous noradrenaline (NA) and dopamine (DA) to plasma in the kidney. To obtain correct estimates of the renal contribution to the renal venous outflow of NA and DA, corrections for the renal extraction of catecholamines in arterial plasma were performed by use of tracer amounts of [3H]NA. Hindquarter compression (previously known to cause a neurogenically mediated blood pressure elevation) increased the concentrations of NA, adrenaline and DA in arterial and renal venous plasma. The renal overflow of NA increased from 83.7 +/- 32.0 to 361.3 +/- 119.4 pmol min-1 (P less than 0.05) during hindquarter compression. When compared to the renal NA overflow during electrical renal nerve stimulation, this corresponds to an increase in average renal nerve impulse activity from approximately 0.4 to 1.6 Hz. Hindquarter compression also increased the renal overflow of DA to plasma. When venous return to the heart was reduced by obstruction of the thoracic inferior vena cava, the mean arterial blood pressure fell and all catecholamines in plasma increased gradually during the first 10 min of obstruction. The renal overflow of NA was only slightly increased, ind...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
