The Hypothalamus in the Regulation of Energy and Water Balance.

Water and Electrolyte Metabolism II

I have followed the lysosome field since it was proposed as a concept by deDuve and his co-workers in 1955 and find this collection of papers by workers in that field an interesting addition that has many sparkling con-addition, of course, to deDuve, to name a few) but it also has several several shortcomings. For the uninitiated (and there are surprisingly many for whom "lysosome" is a new wor...

Effect of sulpiride injection into ventromedial nucleus of hypothalamus on food and water intake and weight in male rats

Weight gain, obesity and hyperprolactinemia are important complications of long-term administration of neuroleptic drugs, which may affect the patient's general health and well- being that itself interferes with treatment compliance. The purpose of this study was to identify the mechanism of occurrence of these side-effects. Because of the important role of ventromedial nucleus of hypothalamus ...

The effect of water borne nickel on iron metabolism and heme biosynthesis in common carp (Cyprinus carpio)

Nickel is an essential element for all living organisms such as microorganisms, plants and animals. When nickel concentration exceeds the necessary concentration, could be toxic, and likewise causes adverse effects in living organisms. In this study, following determining nickel LC50-96h for common carp (Cyprinus carpio), nickel sub-lethal treatments including 0 (control), 0.055, 0.275, 0.572, ...

Disorders of Water Metabolism

Disorders of water balance and serum Na ( S Na ) are very common in hospitalized patients [ 1 ] . In health, water balance and plasma osmolality, and thereby S Na , are tightly regulated by the kidney, which makes minute-by-minute adjustments to the composition of urine in order to maintain a near-constant plasma osmolality. The development of hyponatremia or hypernatremia may therefore re fl e...
