  2. 1. Renal and parathyroid function in psychiatric patients on lithium treatment

    Author : Hans Bendz; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; diabetes insipidus; glomerular filtration rate; hypercalcemia; hyperparathyroidism; lithium; nephrogenic; nephropathy; polyuria;

    Abstract : Aims. To investigate the prevalence and clinical implications of renal and parathyroid morbidity in lithium patients. Patients. Short-term lithium patients (n=162; average 6 treatment years) and long-term patients (n=142; average 19 treatment years) were studied cross-sectionally. READ MORE

  4. 2. Aquaporins - Novel approaches to old problems

    Author : Carl Johan Hagströmer; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aquaporin AQP ; membrane proteins; X-ray crystallography; nephrogenic diabetes insipidus; Sjögren s syndrome; cataracts; ezrin; calmodulin; continuous diffraction; protein-protein interactions;

    Abstract : As all life on this planet evolves around water, it is important for our bodies to be able to regulate it. This may be done passively, but just like with water in the ocean, if we were to rely solely on passive transport (such as evaporation), the flow of water would be too slow for biological functions to uphold the homeostasis that is so important for us to survive.

  5. 3. Structural studies of aquporins in human kidney and plant

    Author : Anna Frick; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; structural biochemistry; membrane protein; aquaporin;

    Abstract : Membrane proteins are key players in our biology and are links between the inside and the outside of the cell, allowing for signal transduction and transport of molecules. Aquaporins are membrane protein channels that allow water to pass in and out of the cell. Since all life depend on water, their function is vital for any type of organism. READ MORE

  6. 4. The developing rat kidney : the dopamine system and related serine/threonine kinases and phosphatases

    Author : Johan Svennilson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : apoptosis; confocal immunofluorescence; DARPP-32; dopamine; foetal renal development; hypertension; in situ hybridization; metanephric culture; mouse; nephron number; PKC; PP1 PP2A; protein phosphorylation; rat;

    Abstract : The kidney originates from the fusion and conversion of two tissues: the metanephric mesenchyme and the ureter epithelium, an evagination from the Wolffian duct. Although a number of candidate molecules have been shown to be of importance for the differentiation of the embryonic kidney, many of the signalling pathway leading to this development are still obscure.

  7. 5. Primary structure, expression and function of laminin [alpha]4

    Author : Jarkko Kortesmaa; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Basement membranes (BMs) are thin extracellular sheet-like structures that compartmentalize tissues. They are found beneath epithelia and endothelia, and surrounding individual cells, such as muscle fibers, neurons and adipocytes. Laminins, type IV collagens, perlecan and nidogens are some of the main components of mature basement membranes. READ MORE
