Sequence analysis of coding and 3' and 5' flanking regions of the epithelial sodium channel α, β, and γ genes in Dahl S versus R rats

open access: yesBMC Genetics, 2007
Background To test whether epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) genes' variants contribute to salt sensitive hypertension in Dahl rats, we screened ENaC α, β, and γ genes entire coding regions, intron-exon junctions, and the 3' and 5' flanking regions in ...

COVID-19 and Liquid Homeostasis in the Lung—A Perspective through the Epithelial Sodium Channel (ENaC) Lens

open access: yesCells, 2022
Infections with a new corona virus in 2019 lead to the definition of a new disease known as Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The sever cases of COVID-19 and the main cause of death due to virus infection are attributed to respiratory distress.

Reinforcement Learning with Parameterized Actions

open access: yes, 2015
We introduce a model-free algorithm for learning in Markov decision processes with parameterized actions-discrete actions with continuous parameters. At each step the agent must select both which action to use and which parameters to use with that action.

Assessing the Impact of Targeted Poverty Alleviation Program on Poor Households With Different Causes of Poverty: Evidence From Rural China

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Poverty alleviation is a critical concern in developing countries. China launched the Targeted Poverty Alleviation (TPA) program and implemented a series of anti‐poverty initiatives, aiming to reduce poverty and enhance the well‐being of rural households.

WNK4 inhibits ENaC activity and reduces γ ENaC subunit expression, but has no effect on β ENaC expression

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2010
Recently, a serine‐threonine protein kinase WNK4 expressed in the distal nephron has been shown to inhibit ENaC activity; however, the mechanism of this inhibition is unclear. We examined the effect of expressing WNK4 on endogenous ENaC in A6 cells.

Postprandial Effects on ENaC-Mediated Sodium Absorption [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
AbstractRecent studies have suggested that postprandial increases in insulin directly contribute to reduced urinary sodium excretion. An abundance of research supports the ability of insulin to augment epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) transport. This study hypothesized that ENaC contributes to the increase in renal sodium reabsorption following a meal.

Slow Transit Constipation: Pathophysiological Perspectives and Management Updates

open access: yesJournal of Digestive Diseases, EarlyView.
Slow transit constipation (STC) is a complex neuromuscular disorder driven by interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) loss and enteric neuropathy. Diagnosis relies on objective transit testing while excluding pelvic floor dysfunction. Management follows a stepwise, phenotype‐driven approach, progressing from conventional laxatives to emerging targeted ...
