Transgenic mouse models of vasopressin expression.
Arginine vasopressin is a nine-amino acid neuropeptide hormone important in the regulation of water metabolism. It also may have a role in other physiological functions, such as blood pressure regulation and the response to stress. Whole animal studies have provided a good understanding of vasopressin physiology and regulation of the normal vasopressin gene, and in vitro cell culture studies ha...
متن کاملTransgenic rat models of vasopressin overexpression.
Vasopressin has an important role in water metabolism and its impairment induces some clinical disorders such as diabetes insipidus or syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD). SIAD is caused by the overproduction of vasopressin which induces diluting hyponatremia. The accurate diagnosis and appropriate therapy have not settled up to date because its pathophysiology is very complicated. It...
متن کاملCarcinogenesis in transgenic mouse models.
Background: Safe and effective weight control strategies are needed to stem the current obesity epidemic. The objective of this one-year study was to document and compare the macronutrient and micronutrient levels in the foods chosen by women following two different weight reduction interventions. Methods: Ninety-six generally healthy overweight or obese women (ages 25–50 years; BMI 25– 35 kg/m...
متن کاملTransgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by a progressive loss of cognitive function. Despite considerable progress, a complete description of the molecular pathology of this disease has yet to be elucidated. In this respect, the need for an animal model that develops some or all aspects of this uniquely human disease in a reproducible fashion is crucial for the d...
متن کاملNon-Transgenic Mouse Models of Kidney Disease.
Animal models are essential tools to understand the mechanisms underlying the development and progression of renal disease and to study potential therapeutic approaches. Recently, interventional models suitable to induce acute and chronic kidney disease in the mouse have become a focus of interest due to the wide availability of genetically engineered mouse lines. These models differ by their d...
