The objective of this study was to examine the effects of 6 days of emersion on nitrogen metabolism and excretion in the Chinese soft-shelled turtle, Pelodiscus sinensis. Despite having a soft shell with a cutaneous surface that is known to be water permeable, P. sinensis lost only ~2% of body mass and was able to maintain its hematocrit and plasma osmolality, [Na(+)] and [Cl(-)] during 6 days ...
Annual cyanobacterial blooms dominated by Microcystis have occurred in western Lake Erie (U.S./Canada) during summer months since 1995. The production of toxins by bloom-forming cyanobacteria can lead to drinking water crises, such as the one experienced by the city of Toledo in August of 2014, when the city was rendered without drinking water for >2 days. It is important to understand the cond...
Helicobacter pylori survival in acidic environments relies on cytoplasmic hydrolysis of gastric urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide, which buffer the pathogen's periplasm. Urea uptake is greatly enhanced and regulated by HpUreI, a proton-gated inner membrane channel protein essential for gastric survival of H. pylori. The crystal structure of HpUreI describes a static snapshot of the channel w...
Acute dehydration biochemically manifests itself with mild uremia and a normal creatinine concentration. The reason for this, as quoted in popular medical textbooks, is that there is increased reabsorption of urea by the kidneys (1). This explanation is rarely taken further by clinical tutors or lectures on laboratory medicine. However, an appreciation of the physiology of the renal tubules all...
Solvation forces are crucial determinants in the equilibrium between the folded and unfolded state of proteins. Particularly interesting are the solvent forces of denaturing solvent mixtures on folded and misfolded states of proteins involved in neurodegeneration. The C-terminal globular domain of the ovine prion protein (1UW3) and its analogue H2H3 in the α-rich and β-rich conformation were us...
A fundamental understanding of protein stability and the mechanism of denaturant action must ultimately rest on detailed knowledge about the structure, solvation, and energetics of the denatured state. Here, we use (17)O and (2)H magnetic relaxation dispersion (MRD) to study urea-induced denaturation of intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP). MRD is among the few methods that can provid...
Egg albumin in the native, unaltered state, does not give tests characteristic of sulfhydryl groups. When, however, this protein is treated in any one of several ways, such as by heat (8, 9, 17), ultraviolet irradiation (lo), shaking (lo), or by solution in urea or other amides (7), free sulfhydryl groups make their appearance. The amount of free -SH groups appearing in egg albumin through the ...
A single injection of 15 g NaCl into the rumen, which increased the osmotic pressure of rumen fluid from 369 to 474 mOsmol/kg, resulted in a decrease in the transfer of blood urea into rumen fluid from 2.3 to 1.6 g N/day in sheep fed 50 g of chaffed oaten hay every hour. It is concluded that the reduced urea transfer was the result of a reduced urea input via saliva. The rumen wall remained vir...
Introduction: As a nitric oxide (NO) donor, nitrate administration improves renal function in male animals. This study aims to determine the effects of chronic administration of different doses of nitrate on kidney function in normal adult female rats by measuring serum urea and creatinine and assessing the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Materials and Method: Two-month old female ...
Every 3 mo for a 2-yr period, two weaned Holstein steer calves (94.5 kg) were randomly assigned to each of four slaughter age groups (3, 6, 9, and 12 mo). Urea dilution was performed before slaughter, and urea space (US) was calculated as total volume and as a percentage of body weight (BW) and empty body weight (EBW). The relationships between US (kg, % EBW and % BW), BW, and EBW and carcass s...
