ne of the main functions of the adult kidney is to maintain a constant extracellular fluid balance. he adult kidney does this, by and large, by filtering a massive quantity of fluid and reabsorbing the olutes needed to maintain volume and electrolyte homeostasis, while leaving the waste products to e excreted in the urine. One of the most precisely regulated functions of the adult kidney is to ...

Purpose: The purpose of this review is to describe computational models that have been developed for studying kidney function and howthese may be adapted study the eyes. Methods: We derive equations modeling solute andwater transport across epithelial cell membranes in kidney. These mass conservation, as well membrane via cotransporters, exchangers, primary active transport. Results: Wedescribe...

The baboon is an invaluable model for the study of human health and disease, including many complex diseases of the kidney. Although scientists have made great progress in developing this animal as a model for numerous areas of biomedical research, genomic resources for the baboon, such as a quality annotated genome, are still lacking. To this end, we characterized the baboon kidney transcripto...

CD96 is a membrane-bound receptor discovered in humans 1992 that mainly present natural killer cells and T derived from haematopoietic performs immune functions. Based on the sequence of obtained red seabream (Pagrus major), phylogenetic analysis with other species, infections normal fish, Streptococcus iniae sea bream iridovirus (RSIV), expression was conducted using real-time polymerase chain...

Because of its highly bioactive properties sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is an attractive target for the treatment of several diseases. Since the expression of sphingosine kinases as well as S1P receptors was demonstrated in the kidney, questions about the physiological and pathophysiological functions of S1P in this organ have been raised. In this review, we summarize the current state of know...

abstract background: alkaloids from senna alata leaves implicated as the active constituents of abortifacient are yet to be investigated for their effects on the normal functioning of the maternal liver and kidney. therefore, the effects of crude alkaloids on some biochemical indices of kidney and liver damage were investigated in pregnant rats. methods: pregnant rats were randomized into 4 gro...
