Claudins in Renal Physiology and Pathology. [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2020 Claudins are integral proteins expressed at the tight junctions of epithelial and endothelial cells. In the mammalian kidney, every tubular segment express a specific set of claudins that give to that segment unique properties regarding permeability and selectivity of the paracellular pathway.

Renal physiology of pregnancy. [PDF]
Adv Chronic Kidney Dis, 2013 Pregnancy involves remarkable orchestration of physiologic changes. The kidneys are central players in the evolving hormonal milieu of pregnancy, responding and contributing to the changes in the environment for the pregnant woman and fetus. The functional impact of pregnancy on kidney physiology is widespread, involving practically all aspects of ...

The roles of hydrogen sulfide in renal physiology and disease states. [PDF]
Ren Fail, 2022 Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an endogenous gaseous signaling transmitter, has gained recognition for its physiological effects. In this review, we aim to summarize and discuss existing studies about the roles of H2S in renal functions and renal disease as ...

Effects of high altitude on renal physiology and kidney diseases. [PDF]
Front Physiol, 2022 The hypobaric and hypoxic conditions of high-altitude areas exert adverse effects on the respiratory, circulatory and nervous systems. The kidneys have an abundant blood supply (20%–25% of cardiac output) and high blood flow; thus, they are susceptible ...

Renal physiology of glucose handling and therapeutic implications. [PDF]
Nephrol Dial Transplant, 2020 The rationale for using sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) has evolved over the last decade. Due to the effects on glucosuria and body weight loss, SGLT2 inhibitors were originally approved for ...

The Renal Physiology of Pendrin-Positive Intercalated Cells.
Physiol Rev, 2020 Intercalated cells (ICs) are found in the connecting tubule and the collecting duct. Of the three IC subtypes identified, type B intercalated cells are one of the best characterized and known to mediate Cl- absorption and HCO3- secretion, largely through

Physiology and Pathophysiology of Renal Aquaporinsa [PDF]
Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 1999 Abstract. The discovery of aquaporin membrane water channels by Agre and coworkers answered a long-standing biophysical question of how water specifically crosses biologic membranes, and provided insight, at the molecular level, into the fundamental physiology of water balance and the pathophysiology of water balance disorders.

Hydrogen Sulfide in Renal Physiology and Disease. [PDF]
Antioxid Redox Signal, 2016 SIGNIFICANCE Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has only recently gained recognition for its physiological effects. It is synthesized widely in the mammalian tissues and regulates several biologic processes ranging from development, angiogenesis, neurotransmission ...

Physiology of renal glucose handling via SGLT1, SGLT2 and GLUT2. [PDF]
Diabetologia, 2018 The concentration of glucose in plasma is held within narrow limits (4-10 mmol/l), primarily to ensure fuel supply to the brain. Kidneys play a role in glucose homeostasis in the body by ensuring that glucose is not lost in the urine.
