  1. 6. Novel Approaches to Treatment and Prevention of Diabetic Nephropathy

    Författare :Lina Nordquist; Mats Sjöquist; Peter Bergsten; William J. Welch; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Physiology; Diabetes; Nephropathy; C-peptide; Microneedle; Renal; GFR; Oxygen Consumption; Reabsorption; Fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Several studies have reported beneficial effects of C-peptide supplementation in diabetic patients and animal models of insulinopenic diabetes. However, it is also established that good glycemic control is essential to minimize the risk of diabetes-induced complications. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Macula Densa Derived Nitric Oxide and Kidney Function

    Författare :Anna Ollerstam; Pontus Persson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cell biology; Nitric oxide; rats; kidney; macula densa cells; tubuloglomerular feedback; renin; angiotensin II; blood pressure; hypertension; renal blood flow; neuronal nirtic oxide synthase; Cellbiologi; Cell biology; Cellbiologi; Physiology; fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : The kidney is the major organ regulating the extracellular fluid volume and thereby the arterial blood pressure. The neuronal isoform of nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in the kidney is predominantly located in the macula densa cells. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Regulatory Functions of the Juxtaglomerular Apparatus

    Författare :Ruisheng Liu; Ole Skott; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cell biology; mesangial; desensitization; nitric oxide; calcium; P2Y receptor; macula densa; NaCl; luminal. microperfusion; angiotensin; Cellbiologi; Cell biology; Cellbiologi; Medicine; medicin;

    Sammanfattning : The tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism is an important regulator in the juxtaglomerular apparatus and it detects flow dependent alterations in luminal NaCl concentration ([NaCl]) at the macula densa (MD) cell site via a Na+-K+-2Cl cotransporter. Signals are sent by the MD to adjust the afferent arteriole tone and altering release of renin. LÄS MER
