The Toxic Effect of Lanthanum on Planaria Is Mediated by a Variety of Ion Channels

Toxics, 2018
The effect of toxic concentrations of La3+ on the Ca, K, Na, Mg, and Cl channels of planaria was investigated through the use of various agonists and antagonists to those channels.

Electron transfer between complexes III and IV in S. cerevisiae mitochondrial membranes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in S. cerevisiae mitoplasts is limited by complex IV catalytic capacity, rather than two‐dimensional cytochrome c diffusion. At physiological cytochrome c : supercomplex ratios at salinity equivalent to that of 20 mm monovalent salt, activity is maximized, indicating that this low ionic strength accurately mimics

Drug binding sites on Nat1.8 sodium channels [PDF]

, 2008
The voltage-gated sodium channel, Nav 1.8, is known to play an important role in pain signalling. In this thesis, the functional properties and drug binding sites of wild type and mutant Nav 1.8 sodium channel currents were studied in mammalian sensory ...

Pathophysiological Role of Sodium in Acute Kidney Injury and Chronic Kidney Disease: A Narrative Review

Journal of Education, Health and Sport
Background: Sodium homeostasis disruption is a fundamental pathophysiological mechanism in kidney diseases that critically affects the progression of renal dysfunction and the development of cardiovascular complications.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

The involvement of the transpirational bypass flow in sodium uptake by high‐ and low‐sodium‐transporting lines of rice developed through intravarietal selection [PDF]

, 1996
We report the characterization of high- and low-sodium-transporting lines developed by intravarietal selection within a cultivar, IR36, of rice (Oryza sativa L.).

Comprehensive Assessment of Correlation of Copeptin with Some Electrolytes in Adult Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease in Babylon Governorate

Medical Journal of Babylon
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a rapidly expanding public health problem typified by either an increased excretion of albumin in the urine, a reduced glomerular filtration rate, or both.

The Effect of Salt Reduction on Sensory, Physicochemical, and Microbial Quality in Selected Meat Products

Foods
Efforts to reduce sodium chloride levels in meat products within the European Union are closely aligned with the World Health Organization’s recommendation to limit daily sodium intake to a maximum of 5 g per person.

LETM1-Mediated K+ and Na+ Homeostasis Regulates Mitochondrial Ca2+ Efflux

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Ca2+ transport across the inner membrane of mitochondria (IMM) is of major importance for their functions in bioenergetics, cell death and signaling. It is therefore tightly regulated.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...
