  2. 1. Properties of the endothelial cells and the glomerular barrier

    Author : Jenny Sörensson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Capillary permeability; kidney glomerulus physiology; isolated perfused kidney; endothelium; orosomucoid; charge; horseradish peroxidase; inflammation; proteoglycan; cAMP.;

    Abstract : The kidneys are vital organs that filter plasma to produce 180 liters of primary urine per day. Only 1% of this volume is excreted and the rest is reabsorbed. Naturally, such huge amounts of fluid must be well controlled to maintain the homeostasis, which is a prerequisite for life. READ MORE

  5. 3. Calcium Responses in the Renal Afferent Arteriole to Angiotensin II and Norepinephrine Stimulation

    Author : Mark Kornfeld; Klinisk neurofysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; norepinephrine; angiotensin II; smooth muscle cells; afferent arteriole; calcium; Kidney; renal hemodynamics; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : Studies were performed to investigate the influence of the vasoconstrictors angiotensin II (AII) and norepinephrine (NE) on calcium metabolism in smooth muscle cells of afferent arterioles. Fura-2 and image analysis techniques were used to evaluate calcium responses in the proximal and distal parts of afferent arterioles with attached glomeruli. READ MORE

  6. 4. Transcriptional profiling of the kidney glomerulus

    Author : Ying Sun; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The kidney glomerulus plays a crucial role in ultraltration of the blood through the glomerular capillary wall. Glomerulus injury may occur in many systemic and primary kidney diseases or as secondary eects to drugs and infections. READ MORE

  7. 5. Analysis of kidney glomerular and microvascular transcriptomes

    Author : Liqun He; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Transcriptome; kidney glomerulus; pericytes; EST; microarray; genomics; bioinformatics; systems biology;

    Abstract : Kidney glomeruli play a crucial role in the maintenance of body homeostasis. Many diseases attack the kidney function by primarily affecting glomeruli. However, the transcriptome profiles and the function of the glomerulus is poorly understood. READ MORE
