A nonconventional look at ionic fluxes in the skin: lessons from genetically modified mice.

چکیده
The mammalian, highly amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) is member of the degenerin/ENaC superfamily of ion channels known to be implicated in sodium homeostasis, mechanosensation, and mechanoperception. A novel role for ENaC implicated in differentiation processes in skin reshapes our current view of this ancient transmembrane channel protein.

Genetically modified mice- Methods, applications and outlook
Background & Aim: Transgenic mice, of tengenerated by random integration of foreign genes into the mouse genome or by targeted mutation in a particular gene, have demonstrated to be a very effective tool for studying gene function in living things. In this review article, we discussed on the current methods of generating genetically-modified mice and their related problems and then investigated...
متن کاملStudy and Comparison of Genetically and Non-Genetically Modified Rice from View Point of Possibility of Gene Transferring in Blood of Labouraty Animal
Introduction: Genetically modified plants species of plants are produced by the genetic engineering of agricultural science and the addition of specific genes in their genetic sequences with the aim of optimizing the product and creating desirable traits. This study examined the remains of Cry1A(b) and P35 genes in blood of rats fed with genetically modified rice. Methods: This study was exper...

متن کاملStudying the effects of pH and molecular charge on the passive and iontophoretic permeation of L-phenylalanine through cellulose acetate membrane
Iontophoresis is one of the skin permeation enhancement methods involving the transport of drugs through the skin under the effect of electrical current. The effect of molecular charge on the iontophoretic permeation of drugs has not been completely understood yet. Therefore the effect of passive and iontophoretic permeation of L-phenylalanine at pH 3.6 (positive charge) and pH 8 (negative ch...
متن کاملVoltammetric Determination of Tryptophan Using a Carbon Paste Electrode Modified with Magnesium Core Shell Nanocomposite and Ionic Liquids
A novel carbon paste electrode modified with ionic liquid (n-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluoro phosphate) and magnetic core-shell manganese ferrite nanoparticles (MCSILCPE) was fabricated. The electrochemical study of the modified electrode, as well as its efficiency for electro-oxidation of tryptophan, is described. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), choronoamperometry (CHA) and square wave voltammet...
