Cellular volume homeostasis.
All cells face constant challenges to their volume either through changes in intracellular solute content or extracellular osmolality. Cells respond to volume perturbations by activating membrane transport and/or metabolic processes that result in net solute loss or gain and return of cell volume to its normal resting state. This paper provides a brief overview of fundamental concepts of osmoti...
متن کاملBody sodium and volume homeostasis.
MAINTENANCE OF A “MILIEU INTERIEUR,” which allows our cells to function away from the ancient sea, is one of the most important functions of the body. Maintenance of constant extracellular osmolarity and sodium concentration depends on a precise balance between intake and excretion of sodium and water. Intakes of water and sodium are governed by an urge driven by the lack of these substances, b...
متن کاملVolume homeostasis, renal function and hypertension
A generalised vasoconstriction, for almost a century believed to be the basis of all types of human hypertension, was disproved by recent haemodynamic studies. In our investigation of hypertension in chronic parenchymatous non-uraemic, non-anaemic renal disease, we have established that the earliest haemodynamic abnormality in subjects, of whom over 90% later develop high blood pressure, has ac...
متن کاملMechanical homeostasis regulating adipose tissue volume
BACKGROUND The total body adipose tissue volume is regulated by hormonal, nutritional, paracrine, neuronal and genetic control signals, as well as components of cell-cell or cell-matrix interactions. There are no known locally acting homeostatic mechanisms by which growing adipose tissue might adapt its volume. PRESENTATION OF THE HYPOTHESIS Mechanosensitivity has been demonstrated by mesench...
متن کاملSodium and Water Homeostasis, Volume 1
general immunological disturbance is one of the questions considered in this book, but not fully answerable as yet. There are two ways in which a review of this kind might be written, one comprehensively with a maximum of sources cited and a minimum of personal bias interjected, the other analytically with sources selected and interpreted in the light of the author's opinions. Fraser and Martin...
