Disorders of sodium and water metabolism are frequently encountered in hospitalized patients. Hyponatremia in critically ill patients can cause significant morbidity and mortality. Inappropriate treatment of hyponatremia can add to the problem. The diagnosis and management of salt and water abnormalities in critically ill patients is often challenging. The increasing knowledge about aquaporins ...

Portulaca oleracea L., considered by many a weed, is in fact plant with multiple food and medicinal values, specific adaptation to stress conditions. Grown water supply option conditions, the has C4 type metabolism, but drought it uses way of closing stomata during day, achieving CAM metabolism. The high values ​​of stomatal conductance recorded dark contentof malic acid leaves especially morni...

Aquaglyceroporins are a group of the aquaporin (AQP) family transmembrane water channels. While AQPs facilitate passage water, small solutes, and gases across biological membranes , aquaglyceroporins allow glycerol, urea some other solutes. Thanks to their glycerol permeability, involved in energy homeostasis . This review provides an overview what is currently known concerning functional impli...

Animals are not only regulated by their own genes but also influenced symbiotic bacteria, most of which colonized in the gut. The gut bacterial community is involved plenty physiological processes; therefore, intestinal colonization commensal microbiota essential to health host animal. Here, metagenome sequencing A. japonicus gut, surrounding water, and feed was performed explore structural fun...

We examined changes in nonstructural carbohydrate biosynthesis and activities of related enzymes in leaves of micropropagated apple plants (Malus domestica Borkh. cv. 'NaganoFuji') in response to water stress, with particular emphasis on the enzymes associated with sorbitol, sucrose and starch metabolism. Water stress resulted in the accumulation of photosynthates in leaves, mainly sorbitol, su...

To investigate the role of nitrogen (N) metabolism in the adaptation of photosynthesis to water stress in rice, a hydroponic experiment supplying with low N (0.72 mM), moderate N (2.86 mM), and high N (7.15 mM) followed by 150 g⋅L-1 PEG-6000 induced water stress was conducted in a rainout shelter. Water stress induced stomatal limitation to photosynthesis at low N, but no significant effect was...
