Hormonal regulation of alveolarization: structure-function correlation
BACKGROUND Dexamethasone (Dex) limits and all-trans-retinoic acid (RA) promotes alveolarization. While structural changes resulting from such hormonal exposures are known, their functional consequences are unclear. METHODS Neonatal rats were treated with Dex and/or RA during the first two weeks of life or were given RA after previous exposure to Dex. Morphology was assessed by light microscop...
متن کاملThe hormonal regulation of pyloric sphincter function.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hormonal control of pyloric sphincter function. Studies were performed on both pyloric circular muscle, in vitro, and the human pylorus, in vivo. Full dose-response curves to gastrin I, cholecystokinin, and secretin were constructed for the pyloric muscle of the opossum studied at its length of optimal tension development, Lo. Both cholecystokinin a...
متن کاملStructure, Function and Regulation
The Na/K-ATPase or Na, K-pump utilizes the free energy of hydrolysis of ATP to actively transport Na and K ions across mammalian cell membranes. This function underlies essentially all of mammalian cell physiology. For example, in the kidney the Na, K-pump controls body Na and K balance, extracellular volume and blood pressure. The Na/K-ATPase is the receptor of digitalis steroids used to treat...
متن کاملOccludin: structure, function and regulation.
Epithelial and/or endothelial barriers play a critical role in animal, including human, life forms. The tight junction (TJ) is an essential component of these barriers. Occludin is a major component of the TJ. The structure of occludin, including its gene splice variants and protein essential components have been elucidated. Phosphorylation/dephosphorylation plays a major role in regulation of ...
متن کاملinterpersonal function of language in subtitling
translation as a comunicative process is always said to be associated with various aspects of meaning loss or gain. subtitling as a mode of translating, due to special discoursal and textual conditions imposed upon it, is believed to be an obvious case of this loss or gain. presenting the spoken sound track of a film in writing and synchronizing the perception of this text by the viewers with...
