Physiological roles of aquaporin-4 in brain.
Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is one of the most abundant molecules in the brain and is particularly prevalent in astrocytic membranes at the blood-brain and brain-liquor interfaces. While AQP4 has been implicated in a number of pathophysiological processes, its role in brain physiology has remained elusive. Only recently has evidence accumulated to suggest that AQP4 is involved in such diverse functions ...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Simulation of Water Transportation through Aquaporin-4 in Rat Brain Cells
This paper investigates the mechanism of water transportation through aquaporin-4(AQP4) of ratbrain cells by means of molecular dynamics simulation with CHARMM software. The AQP4 wasembedded into a bilayer made of Dimystroilphosphatylcholine (DMPC). The results illustrate thatwater molecules move through AQP4's channel with change of orientation of oxygen of eachwater molecule.
متن کاملAction of Vitamin E on Experimental Severe Acute Liver Failure.
BACKGROUND Severe Acute Liver Failure (ALF) is a life-threatening clinical syndrome characterized by hepatocyte necrosis, loss of hepatic architecture, and impairment of liver functions. One of the main causes of ALF is hepatotoxicity from chemical agents, which damage hepatocytes and result in increase of reactive oxygen species. The vitamin E isoform is the one with the strongest biological a...
متن کاملAcute liver failure studied by hyperpolarized 1 , 4 -
Introduction: We have developed a diagnostic marker hyperpolarized 1,4-C2-fumarate, which takes advantage of the technique dynamic nuclear polarization for magnetic resonance imaging (DNP-MRI). This marker allows real-time metabolic studies of a TCAcycle intermediate, C-malate. With this marker we have investigated the metabolism in the liver of CCl4 treated rats. Intra gastric administration o...
متن کامل[Liver transplantation in acute liver failure].
Acute hepatic failure is characterized by jaundice and hepatic encephalopathy within eight weeks after the onset of disease. Although acute hepatic failure is a rare occurrence, its rapid progression and high mortality (50 to 90%, depending on the etiology of disease) necessitate immediate intervention. In the absence of causal therapy, orthotopic liver transplantation is currently the only def...
