The Metabolism of Ouabain in the Rat

Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 1959
Abstract The urinary and biliary excretion of ouabain by rats has been estimated by paper chromatographic, colorimetric and biological methods of assay. After a dose of 1 μg./g., ouabain was excreted to the extent of approximately 90 per cent in bile and 4 per cent in urine.

Endogenous Ouabain [PDF]

Hypertension, 2016
In this brief article, we summarize recent reports about endogenous ouabain (EO), a cardiotonic steroid hormone. This includes analysis of mammalian EO, the discovery of EO isomers, regulation of intracellular signaling by EO, and the roles of EO in hypertension, pregnancy, and heart and kidney diseases.

Effects of Renal Denervation on Ouabain-Induced Hypertension in Rats

International Journal of Hypertension
Background. Ouabain, a Na+, K+-ATPase inhibitor, is elevated in hypertensive patients. Evidence suggests ouabain contributes to hypertension mainly through activation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS).

Possible therapeutic repositioning of valproic acid: From epileptic seizures to acute kidney injury

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Valproic acid, an anticonvulsant, may be repositioned to prevent acute kidney injury due to ischemia followed by reperfusion. It preserves renal functions, electrolyte homeostasis and active sodium transport in kidney tubules, and blocks the onset of hypertension.

Ouabain suppresses the migratory behavior of lung cancer cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The migratory capability of cancer cells is one of the most important hallmarks reflecting metastatic potential. Ouabain, an endogenous cardiac glycoside produced by the adrenal gland, has been previously reported to have anti-tumor activities; however ...

Targeting hexokinase 2 to induce breast cancer cell senescence

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Hexokinase 2 (HK2) is a key enzyme linked to high tumour cell proliferation. Its inhibitors such as 3‐bromopyruvic acid (3‐BP) induce cancer cell death, highlighting HK2 modulation as potential anti‐cancer treatment. However, standard chemotherapies often cause the emergence of senescent cancer cells, which goes along with cell ...

The role of Na+/K+-ATPase during chick skeletal myogenesis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The formation of a vertebrate skeletal muscle fiber involves a series of sequential and interdependent events that occurs during embryogenesis. One of these events is myoblast fusion which has been widely studied, yet not completely understood.

Body size of male Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) at introduction of a 5‐week LD12:12 winter signal influences their decision to mature early or smoltify

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sexual maturation of male Atlantic salmon post‐smolts (‘jacking’) is undesired in aquaculture and seems to occur due to the intensification in modern facilities. Maturation depends on internal and external factors (temperature, photoperiod, feed availability, energy levels, body size, genetic background) that act on the brain‐pituitary‐gonad ...

Expression of corticoid‐regulatory genes in the gills of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) parr and smolt and during salinity acclimation

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In teleost fishes, cortisol is the major corticoid and has both glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid actions. However, how fish tissues discriminate between these distinct corticosteroid actions is unclear. In mammals, the major factors responsible for intracellular corticosteroid regulation are glucocorticoid receptors (grs) and the ...
