An AMPK activator as a therapeutic option for congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) patients produce large amounts of dilute urine. NDI can be congenital, resulting from mutations in the type-2 vasopressin receptor (V2R), or acquired, resulting from medications such as lithium. There are no effective

Molecular Characterization of an Aquaporin−2 Mutation Causing Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus
The aquaporin 2 (AQP2) plays a critical role in water reabsorption to maintain water homeostasis. AQP2 mutation leads to nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI), characterized by polyuria, polydipsia, and hypernatremia.

A case of primary aldosteronism combined with acquired nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
Aldosterone-producing adrenal adenoma can induce various clinical manifestations as a result of chronic exposure to aldosterone. We report a rare case of a 37-year-old man who complained of general weakness and polyuria. He was diagnosed with aldosterone-

Altered agonist sensitivity of a mutant V2 receptor suggests a novel therapeutic strategy for nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. [PDF]
Loss of function mutations of the type 2 vasopressin receptor (V2R) in kidney can lead to nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI). We studied a previously described, but uncharacterized mutation of V2R (N321K missense mutation) of an NDI patient.

Receptores acoplados à proteína G: implicações para a fisiologia e doenças endócrinas [PDF]
The majority of polypeptide hormones and even extracellular calcium signal their target cells through G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Recently, many mutations have been both identified and associated with several endocrine disorders, such as ...
