Somatostatin-like immunoreactivity in the glomerulus of rat kidney
Kidney International, 1983 It has been shown that somatostatin inhibits the antidiuretic action of vasopressin in toad urinary bladder in vitro and in dogs and rats in vivo. The presence of somatostatin-like immunoreactivity (SLI) in the urinary bladder and kidney of the toad has suggested the possibility that somatostatin may act as a local paracrine hormone modulating the ...

A neural network for glomerulus classification based on histological images of kidney biopsy [PDF]
BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making, 2021 Abstract Background Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems based on medical images could support physicians in the decision-making process. During the last decades, researchers have proposed CAD systems in several medical domains achieving promising results.

Roles of PDGF receptor-beta in the structure and function of postnatal kidney glomerulus. [PDF]
Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2011 Mesangial cell functions are critically regulated by platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR)-β signals. In contrast to the well-established role of PDGFR-β in the development of kidney glomerulus, its role in adult kidney glomerulus remains controversial.We deleted the PDGFR-β gene postnatally using the Cre-loxP system and analysed the long ...

Antioxidant‐oxidant balance in the glomerulus and proximal tubule of the rat kidney
The Journal of Physiology, 1998 Antioxidant and oxidative enzymes were examined in renal glomeruli and proximal tubules of healthy young rats (10‐12 weeks old), and results were related to the superoxide anion generation of these tissues. Activities of superoxide dismutases, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase were 3‐ to 6‐fold higher in proximal tubules than in glomeruli ...

Revealing VCAN as a Potential Common Diagnostic Biomarker of Renal Tubules and Glomerulus in Diabetic Kidney Disease Based on Machine Learning, Single-Cell Transcriptome Analysis and Mendelian Randomization [PDF]
Diabetes & Metabolism JournalBackground Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is recognized as a significant complication of diabetes mellitus and categorized into glomerular DKDs and tubular DKDs, each governed by distinct pathological mechanisms and biomarkers.

Towards Staining Independent Segmentation of Glomerulus from Histopathological Images of Kidney [PDF]
, 2019 AbstractThis paper introduces a detection-based framework to segment glomeruli from digital scanning image of light microscopic slide of renal biopsy specimens. The proposed method aims to better use the precise localization ability of Faster R-CNN and powerful segmentation ability of U-Net.
