Urinary cyclic AMP in renal polyuric disorders

آدنوزین منوفسفات حلقوی ( Cyclic AMP )

Automated "Gamma-flo" radioimmunoassay of urinary cyclic AMP.

The "Gammaflow" automated assay concept of Brooker et al. (Science 194:270, 1976) has been adapted to the assay for urinary cyclic AMP in patients' samples on the now commercially available Squibb Gamma-FloTM system, a totally automated continuous-flow immunoassay instrument. The instrument aspirates the unknown sample, combines it with radioligand and specific antiserum, incubates the mixture,...

Does cyclic AMP mediate rat urinary bladder relaxation by isoproterenol?

Cyclic AMP is the prototypical second messenger of beta-adrenergic receptors, but recent findings have questioned its role in mediating smooth muscle relaxation upon beta-adrenergic receptor stimulation. We have investigated the signaling mechanisms underlying beta-adrenergic receptor-mediated relaxation of rat urinary bladder. Concentration-response curves for isoproterenol-induced bladder rel...

Impaired urinary concentrating ability in genetically polyuric mice.

Newly recognized strain of mice with hereditary polyuria (PUS mice) was characterized. Polyuria was inherited as a single autosomal-recessive trait. At 15 weeks, PUS mice excreted hypotonic (urine osmolality: PUS;270.8 +/- 15.5 vs. cont.; 3,228.6 +/- 163.6 mosm/kg) polyuria (urine volume: PUS; 25.0 +/- 1.5 vs. cont.; 1.1 +/- 0.1 ml/day). In PUS mice, plasma osmolality was slightly elevated as w...

The effect of cyclic AMP and dibutyryl cyclic AMP on the permeability characteristics of the renal tubule.

The effect of adenosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) and N(6),O(2)-dibutyryl adenosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (dibutyryl cyclic AMP) on renal tubular permeability was studied by microinjection techniques in anesthetized diuretic rats. Radioactive inulin and mannitol were microinjected simultaneously into superficial proximal and distal convolutions and recovery of the isotopes wa...
