Efecto del ácido deoxicólico sobre la regulación del transporte iónico intestinal en la rata

Gastroenterol. latinoam; 34 (1), 2023
The intestine has a very important role in the homeostasis of the internal medium. Bile acids play a regulatory role in the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Among them, deoxycholic acid, when its luminal concentration increases due to bacterial overgrowth, modifies hydroelectrolytic transport, prod...

Los inhibidores SGLT2: una mirada al futuro del tratamiento de la insuficiencia cardiaca

Rev. méd. Chile; 150 (12), 2022
Heart failure (HF) is a global health problem. There is a strong association h between HF and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), with an increasing prevalence of patients having both conditions concomitantly. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (ISGLT2) significantly reduce cardiovascular events, incl...

Fluid and hemodynamic management in hemodialysis patients: challenges and opportunities

J. bras. nefrol; 41 (4), 2019
Abstract Fluid volume and hemodynamic management in hemodialysis patients is an essential component of dialysis adequacy. Restoring salt and water homeostasis in hemodialysis patients has been a permanent quest by nephrologists summarized by the 'dry weight' probing approach. Although this clinical appro...

Chloride and sodium ion concentrations in saliva and sweat as a method to diagnose cystic fibrosis

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 95 (4), 2019
Abstract Objective: Cystic fibrosis diagnosis is dependent on the chloride ion concentration in the sweat test (≥ 60 mEq/mL - recognized as the gold standard indicator for cystic fibrosis diagnosis). Moreover, the salivary glands express the CFTR protein in the same manner as sweat glands. Given t...

Valores de referencia de oxalato, calcio, citrato, ácido úrico, fósforo, magnesio, sulfato y sodio urinarios en alumnos de la carrera de bioquímica de la Universidad Nacional del Litoral, Argentina

INTRODUCCIÓN: La urolitiasis (UL) es una alteración frecuente, cuya incidencia ha aumentado en el último cuarto del siglo XX. Para su diagnóstico se realizan estudios metabólicos para lo cual es necesario contar con valores de referencia (VR) establecidos para la población en cuestión. OBJETIVO: E...

Possible senescence associated change in the predominant &alpha -Na+/K+ ATP-ase isoform in the renal cortex of the rat

Medicina (B.Aires); 76 (4), 2016
With aging the kidney exhibits progressive deterioration, with a decrease in renal function. Most of the filtered Na+ is actively reabsorbed in the proximal tubules through different transporters located in apical membrane. This process is possible because basolateral Na+/K+-ATP-ase generates electrochem...

In vitro response of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L) to K/Na ratio under saline conditions

Biol. Res; 48 (), 2015
BACKGROUND: Salinity is a serious factor limiting the productivity of agricultural plants. One of the potential problems for plants growing under saline conditions is the inability to up take enough K+. The addition of K+ may considerably improve the salt tolerance of plants grown under salinity. It is a...

Predicting 24-hour urinary sodium excretion in Afro-Caribbean Barbadians by comparing urine sodium excretion over different durations versus spot collection

West Indian med. j; 62 (3), 2013
AIM: Urinary sodium excretion is used as an assessment tool for salt intake and salt handling. Even though cumbersome, the most reliable and readily used method in clinical and epidemiological studies is the 24-hour urine collection. This study investigates other appropriate means of predicting 24-hour u...

Effects of hypertension on maternal adaptations to pregnancy: experimental study on spontaneously hypertensive rats

Säo Paulo med. j; 119 (2), 2001
CONTEXT: Animal models for essential hypertension have been used for understanding the human pathological conditions observed in pregnant hypertensive women. OBJECTIVE: To study the possible effects of pregnancy on hypertension and of hypertension on pregnancy in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), an...
