Expression of V2R and AQPs in the renal medulla of high-fat nutritional obesity of rat

Int. j. morphol; 37 (2), 2019
Recent evidence has indicated that adipose tissue produces bioactive substances that contribute to obesity-related kidney disease, altering the renal function and structure. Eight of the AQPs are expressed in the kidney, where several of them contribute to water absorption and maintenance of body water b...

Immunohistochemical study of aquaporin 1 and 2 in the hepatobiliary system of Qinghai lizard (Pphrynocephalus vlangalii )

A serous membrane covering the liver and the hepatic parenchyma, consists of hepatocytes, arteries, veins, hepatic sinusoids and biliary ductuli. There are erythrocytes, thrombocytes, melanin particles and Kupffer cell in the hepatic sinusoids and the blood vessels. The gall bladder wall consists of a mu...

Immunohistochemical study of aquaporin 1 and 2 in the reproductive tract of the bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus)

Int. j. morphol; 34 (4), 2016
Spermatogenesis is associated with considerable fluid secretion or absorption in the male reproductive tract. Aquaporins (AQPs) are membrane protein channels that allow the rapid movement of water through epithelium. In the present study, immunohistochemistry was utilized to localize the expression of AQ...
