Genetics of ion homeostasis in Ménière’s Disease

European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 2016
Aim of this work was to assess the role of polymorphisms belonging to genes involved in the regulation of ionic homeostasis in Caucasian patients with Ménière Disease (MD). We recruited 155 patients with definite Ménière Disease and 186 controls (Control Group 1) without a lifetime history of vertigo, overlapping with patients for age and rate of ...

Ion homeostasis in diabetic kidney disease

Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism
The complications of type 2 diabetes are a major global public health problem with high incidence and mortality, affecting almost all individuals with diabetes worldwide. Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one such primary complication and has become a leading cause of end-stage renal disease in patients with diabetes. Progression from diabetes to DKD is

Ion homeostasis during salt stress in plants

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2001
Recent progress has been made in the characterization of cation transporters that maintain ion homeostasis during salt stress in plants. Sodium-proton antiporters at the vacuolar (NHX1) and plasma membrane (SOS1) have been identified in Arabidopsis. SOS1 is regulated by the calcium-activated protein kinase complex SOS2-SOS3.

Ion homeostasis and ion channels in NLRP3 inflammasome activation and regulation

Current Opinion in Immunology, 2018
The NLRP3 inflammasome is a multiprotein platform for the activation of caspase-1, which in turn drives inflammation through the activation of proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β. In contrast to the majority of pattern recognition receptors, NLRP3 inflammasome can be triggered by a plethora of pathogen-derived or endogenous activators, which ...

Regulation of ion homeostasis under salt stress

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2003
When under salt stress, plants maintain a high concentration of K(+) and a low concentration of Na(+) in the cytosol. They do this by regulating the expression and activity of K(+) and Na(+) transporters and of H(+) pumps that generate the driving force for transport.

Selective Metal Ion Homeostasis in Cyanobacteria

2017
Metal homeostasis systems are responsible for the uptake and efflux of both essential and non-essential metals. The capacity of these systems to acquire a particular metal, whilst excluding another is essential for the survival of not just cyanobacteria, but all organisms.

Calcium Ion Homeostasis in Urinary Bladder Smooth Muscle

1999
The purpose of the urinary bladder is to store urine at low pressures, and allow for effective evacuation at an appropriate time, location and social situation. For this complex set of requirements to be carried out, it is essential that the major components of the lower urinary tract interact in a unified fashion.1 The basic elements of the bladder ...

Imaging ion flux and ion homeostasis in blood stage malaria parasites

Biotechnology Journal, 2009
AbstractThe steady‐state regulation of intracellular levels of essential ions and ionic gradients is critical for almost all functions within a cell. Thus, it is not surprising to find that ions have been shown to play an important role in numerous parasitic processes, such as invasion, development and possibly drug resistance mechanisms.

HYDROGEN ION HOMEOSTASIS (ACID-BASE BALANCE)

1979
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the causes and symptoms of hydrogen ion homeostasis. Buffers are the first line of defense in maintaining a constant hydrogen-ion concentration in body fluids, and a brief description of the mode of action of buffers is necessary. An acid is a substance that has the potential to dissociate and release hydrogen
