The influence of hepatic portal circulation on urine flow

The Journal of Physiology

Abstract

1. A study of the effect of changes in the hepatic portal venous pressure (HPVP) on the rate of urine flow in dogs has been made. Normally this pressure varies between 3.7 and 14.9 cm H(2)O. It can be raised or lowered by varying the method of manipulation of the visceral organs.2. When the HPVP was raised within 15 cm H(2)O above the premanipulation level it caused an increase in urine flow to 2-3 times the normal levels within 2-5 sec. If the HPVP was raised to more than 15 cm H(2)O above the pre-manipulation levels it resulted in a period of antidiuresis. The urine flow returned rapidly to normal level immediately after the pressure was released.3. The kidney volume increased when an induced diuresis occurred and decreased when an antidiuresis occurred.4. The urine chloride concentration decreased during diuresis, but total chloride excretion increased. Total chloride excretion was reduced when an antidiuresis occurred.5. Topical application of local anaesthetics at the hilus of the kidney and on the renal nervous plexus abolished the response. This and other evidence indicate that this effect on urine flow is a result of nervous reflex activity, probably involving the sympathetic but not the vagus.6. The receptive area lies...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.
