  2. 1. Calcium transport in the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas - in a changing environment

    Author : Kirsikka Sillanpää; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate changes; Ussing chambers; Calcium uptake; Sodium potassium ATPase; Calcium ATPase; Sodium calcium exchanger; Calcium channel; Hemocytes; Mantle epithelium;

    Abstract : Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, is globally one of the most important farmed bivalve species. A prominent features of the C. gigas is the thick CaCO3 shell covering the body of the animal and protecting it from the environment. READ MORE

  4. 2. Odontoblast phosphate and calcium transport in dentinogenesis

    Author : Patrik Lundquist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : It has been suggested that odontoblasts are instrumental in translocating Ca2+ and inorganic phosphate (Pi) ions during the mineralization of dentin. The aim of this thesis was, therefore, to study the expression of components of the transcellular ion transport system, Na+/Ca2+ exchangers and Na+-Pi cotransporters, in odontoblastic and osteoblastic cells.

  5. 3. Salt-inducible kinase 1 : a novel regulator within a cell sodium-sensing network

    Author : Karin Stenström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Na ; K -ATPase; -adducin; Milan hypertensive and normotensive strain of rats; hypertension; angiotensin II; cardiac hypertrophy; myocyte enhancer factor-2 and nuclear factor of activated T-cells;

    Abstract : Na+, K+-ATPase (NK) is expressed in all animal cells and plays a crucial role in cellular ion homeostasis. The NK activity is tightly regulated by specific signaling networks that must be well controlled in time and space (at the plasma membrane or in the intracellular compartments) to guarantee the specificity of the physiological response.

  6. 4. Genomic and non-genomic effects of a new sodium-sensing network in renal and lung epithelia

    Author : Kristina Eneling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sodium and water homeostasis is crucial for cell function, survival and health of the individual. The kidney is responsible for sodium regulation in the body, balancing sodium secretion and reabsorption, and thereby also regulating the blood pressure, primarily via the Na+, K -ATPase. READ MORE
