Ouabain Modulates the Distribution of Connexin 43 in Epithelial Cells
Background/Aims: The fact that ouabain has been identified as an endogenous substance, led us to inquire its physiological role in epithelial cells. Based on previous observations, we hypothesized that it influences processes related to cell contacts ...

ABSTRACT Cisplatin (CIS) is a chemotherapeutic agent known for nephrotoxicity through oxidative stress. Cancer treatment is also associated with psychological stress. Repeated exposure to social‐single prolonged stress (social‐SPS) modulates long‐term renal oxidative damage and apoptosis in a sex‐dependent manner in rats treated with cisplatin (CIS ...

Abstract Salmon populations are declining worldwide, with high mortality rates during juvenile marine migration presenting a bottleneck to recruitment. The ocean conditions along the main migratory route of juvenile salmon in British Columbia are characterized by high variability in CO2, with the amplitude, duration, and frequency of ocean ...

Na+,K+-ATPase is the membrane receptor of hormone ouabain
At 10 nM, ouabain elicits changes in cell contacts, which are independent and usually in opposite direction to effects occurring at μM levels, suggesting that these depend on entirely different mechanisms.1 However, this does not discard the possibility ...

Is Ouabain Produced by the Adrenal Gland?
1. Ouabain or a related stereoisomer, termed endogenous ouabain, has been identified in adrenal cortex tissue and culture medium from adrenocortical cells. 2. Angiotensin II and adrenocorticotropin, the main activators of aldosterone secretion from adrenal glomerulosa cells appear to increase the production of this compound. 3.

ABSTRACT Propionic acidemia (PA) is a metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency of the mitochondrial enzyme propionyl‐CoA carboxylase (PCC) due to mutations in the PCCA or PCCB genes, which encode the two PCC subunits. PA may lead to several types of cardiomyopathy and has been linked to cardiac electrical abnormalities such as QT interval prolongation,

Na+, K+-ATPase is a highly expressed membrane protein. Dysfunction of Na+, K+-ATPase has been implicated in the pathophysiology of several neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders, however, the underlying mechanism of neuronal cell death resulting ...

There is an intrinsic relationship between psychiatric disorders and neuroinflammation, including bipolar disorder. Ouabain, an inhibitor of Na+/K+-ATPase, has been implicated in the mouse model with manic-like behavior. However, the molecular mechanisms

Purpose: The relevance of retinal integrity and energy pathways to ocular growth and induction of refractive errors has seldom been investigated. Thus, we used ouabain to target the channels that are essential for the maintenance of membrane potentials ...
