Physiology and pathophysiology of potassium homeostasis.
Total body potassium content and proper distribution of potassium across the cell membrane is of critical importance for normal cellular function. Potassium homeostasis is maintained by several different methods. In the kidney, total body potassium content is achieved by alterations in renal excretion of potassium in response to variations in intake. Insulin and beta-adrenergic tone play critic...
متن کاملDisorders of potassium homeostasis: pathophysiology and management.
Disorders of potassium homeostasis are common electrolyte abnormalities encountered in hospitalized patients. Hypokalemia and hyperkalemia have been estimated to occur in about 21% and 3% of hospitalized patients, respectively; though the morbidity and mortality associated with the latter is significantly higher. Potassium is a predominantly intracellular ion and the understanding of its dynami...
متن کاملMitochondrial transport of cations: channels, exchangers, and permeability transition.
This review provides a selective history of how studies of mitochondrial cation transport (K+, Na+, Ca2+) developed in relation to the major themes of research in bioenergetics. It then covers in some detail specific transport pathways for these cations, and it introduces and discusses open problems about their nature and physiological function, particularly in relation to volume regulation and...
متن کاملMitochondrial Permeability Transition in Rat
42 Onset of the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) is the penultimate event 43 leading to lethal cellular ischemia/reperfusion injury, but the mechanisms precipitating 44 the MPT after reperfusion remain unclear. Here, we investigated the role of 45 mitochondrial free Ca and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in pHand MPT-dependent 46 reperfusion injury to hepatocytes. Cultured rat hepatocy...
متن کاملPostconditioning inhibits mitochondrial permeability transition.
BACKGROUND Brief periods of ischemia performed just at the time of reperfusion can reduce infarct size, a phenomenon called "postconditioning." After reflow, opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) has been involved in lethal reperfusion injury. We hypothesized that postconditioning may modulate mPTP opening. METHODS AND RESULTS Anesthetized open-chest rabbits underwe...
