Differential effect of T-type voltage-gated calcium channel disruption on renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate in vivo [PDF]
Voltage-gated Ca2+ (Cav) channels play an essential role in the regulation of renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Because T-type Cav channels are differentially expressed in pre- and postglomerular vessels, it was hypothesized that ...

Synchronized renal blood flow dynamics mapped with wavelet analysis of laser speckle flowmetry data. [PDF]
Full-field laser speckle microscopy provides real-time imaging of superficial blood flow rate. Here we apply continuous wavelet transform to time series of speckle-estimated blood flow from each pixel of the images to map synchronous patterns in ...

Sepsis is associated with circulatory dysfunction contributing to disturbed blood flow and organ injury. Decreased organ perfusion in sepsis is attributed, in part, to the loss of vasoregulatory mechanisms.

Red cell trapping and postischemic renal blood flow. Differences between the cortex, outer and inner medulla [PDF]
Red cell trapping and postischemic renal blood flow. Differences between the cortex, outer and inner medulla. The distribution of blood flow in the rat kidney after 60 minutes of renal ischemia was studied by single-fiber laser-Doppler flowmetry.

Reduced CD40L expression on ex vivo activated CD4+T-lymphocytes from patients with excellent renal allograft function measured with a rapid whole blood flow cytometry procedure [PDF]
Background: The CD40-CD40L (CD154) costimulatory pathway plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of kidney allograft rejection. In renal transplant biopsies, CD4+ CD40L+ graft-infiltrating cells were detected during chronic rejection in contrast to ...

Altered renal hemodynamics and impaired myogenic responses in the fawn-hooded rat [PDF]
The present study examined whether an abnormality in the myogenic response of renal arterioles that impairs autoregulation of renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular capillary pressure (PGC) contributes to the development of ...

Measurement of Renal Blood Flow in the Rat
The radioactive microsphere technique is a simple method for measurement of RBF and intrarenal blood flow distribution in the rat that does not require surgical manipulation of the kidney or general anesthesia. The results are reproducible and compatible with other established techniques.

Current Perspective on the Location and Function of Gamma- Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) and its Metabolic Partners in the Kidney. [PDF]
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an inhibitory neurotransmitter located in the mammalian central nervous system, which binds to GABAA and GABAB receptors to mediate its neurological effects.

Evaluation of renal function in dogs using pulsed Doppler ultrasonography
Background: In human medicine, efforts have been made to evaluate venous blood flow in the kidneys to diagnose renal disease and estimate renal function.

Perspectives on Renal Blood Flow Autoregulation
ConclusionThere is a continuing debate in regard to the relative contribution of TGF and myogenic mechanisms in the control autoregulation in the kidney. Much of the controversy, relating to the relative importance of each mechanism can possibly be explained simply by considering the species from which evidence is derived. Differences in autoregulatory
