Shigematsu, Sakuji, Shuji Ishida, Dean C. Gute, and Ronald J. Korthuis. Concentration-dependent effects of bradykinin on leukocyte recruitment and venular hemodynamics in rat mesentery. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Heart Circ. Physiol. 46): H152–H160, 1999.—The results of several recent studies indicate that bradykinin protects tissues against the deleterious effects of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). Howe...

Fellner, Susan K., and William J. Arendshorst. Capacitative calcium entry in smooth muscle cells from preglomerular vessels. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Renal Physiol. 46): F533– F542, 1999.—Calcium entry via voltage-gated L-type channels is responsible for at least half of the increase in cytosolic calcium ([Ca]i) in afferent arterioles following agonist stimulation. We sought the presence of capacit...

Butler, David Gordon. Mecamylamine blocks the [Asp1,Val5]-ANG II-induced attenuation of salt gland activity in Pekin ducks. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 46): R836–R842, 1999.—An intravenous injection of 2 μg of [Asp1,Val5]-ANG II attenuated fluid secretion by the nasal salt glands of Pekin ducks. Ganglionic blockade with mecamylamine stopped salt gland secretion. F...

Hicks, James W., and Tobias Wang. Hypoxic hypometabolism in the anesthetized turtle, Trachemys scripta. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 46): R18–R23, 1999.—A hypometabolic response during acute exposure to hypoxia has been measured in both endothermic and ectothermic vertebrates. In the turtle, we determined the metabolic response to normocapnic hypoxia and hypercapni...

Bian, Ka, Karen Davis, Jeff Kuret, Lester Binder, and Ferid Murad. Nitrotyrosine formation with endotoxininduced kidney injury detected by immunohistochemistry. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Renal Physiol. 46): F33–F40, 1999.—The presence of nitrotyrosine in the kidney has been associated with several pathological conditions. In the present study, we investigated nitrotyrosine formation in rat kidney af...

Eads, Brian D., and Steven C. Hand. Regulatory features of transcription in isolated mitochondria from Artemia franciscana embryos. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 46): R1588–R1597, 1999.—Optimal conditions were developed for an in organello transcriptional run-on assay using mitochondria isolated from Artemia franciscana embryos to investigate potential regulatory fe...

Nakaura, Hiroyuki, Sachio Morimoto, Fumi Yanaga, Masashi Nakata, Hirofumi Nishi, Tsutomu Imaizumi, and Iwao Ohtsuki. Functional changes in troponin T by a splice donor site mutation that causes hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Cell Physiol. 46): C225–C232, 1999.—A splice donor site mutation in intron 15 of the cardiac troponin T (TnT) gene has been shown to cause familial hyper...

Steiner, Alexandre A., Eduardo Colombari and Luiz G. S. Branco. Carbon monoxide as a novel mediator of the febrile response in the central nervous system. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 46): R499–R507, 1999.—Heme oxygenase catalyzes the metabolism of heme to biliverdin, free iron, and carbon monoxide (CO), which has been shown to be an important neuromodulatory agent...

Tuxworth, William J., Jr., Hisayasu Wada, Yuji Ishibashi, and Paul J. McDermott. Role of load in regulating eIF-4F complex formation in adult feline cardiocytes. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Heart Circ. Physiol. 46): H1273–H1282, 1999.— This study examined whether cardiocyte load increases eIF-4F complex formation. To increase load in vitro, adult feline cardiocytes were electrically stimulated to cont...
