11. Identification and characterization of novel glomerulus-associated genes and proteins
Sammanfattning : The kidney is responsible for sieving the circulating blood to eliminate water-soluble waste products and potentially toxic substances from the body. The filtration step occurs in specialized filtration units called glomeruli. LÄS MER
12. Glomerular expression profiling and novel proteins in normal mouse kidney and adriamycin-induced nephrosis
Sammanfattning : Kidney glomeruli function as high-capacity molecular sieves through which plasma is filtered into the Bowman s space as primary urine. The glomerular filtration barrier is composed of glomerular endothelial cells, the glomerulus basement membrane and the podocyte cell layer. LÄS MER
13. Physiological and morphological aspects of the glomerular barrier in health and disease. Results based on experimental studies in the rat
Sammanfattning : Tremendous amounts of fluid are filtered every day through the kidneys. The anastomosing capillary loops surrounded by Bowman s capsule, forming the glomerulus, function in accordance with the interplay between the hydrostatic and the colloid osmotic pressure. The result of the action of these mechanisms is the production of primary urine. LÄS MER
14. Putting the pieces together : elucidation of podocyte biology in the homeostasis of the kidney filtration barrier
Sammanfattning : End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a devastating condition that can only be treated with chronic dialysis or kidney transplantation. ESRD treatment costs account for up to 10% of healthcare budgets in the Western world. The 5-year survival for patients in dialysis is only about 40%. Glomerular disease processes are the main cause of ESRD. LÄS MER
15. Nephrotic syndrome causes selective damage to the glomerular charge or size barriers. Physiological mechanisms based onexperimental studies in the rat
Sammanfattning : Nephrotic syndrome causes selective damage to the glomerular charge or size barriers. Physiological mechanisms based on experimental studies in the rat. Department of Physiology, Institute for Physiology and Pharmacology, Göteborg University, Box 432, SE-405 30 Gothenburg, Sweden. LÄS MER
