The patch-clamp technique was used to study the effect of extracellular and intracellular iodide on the properties of the volume-activated anion current in HeLa cells. Upon hypotonic challenge, HeLa cells responded by ...

Several studies suggest that hypothalamic cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) may interact with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in the control of neuroendocrine function and may also participate ...

Background: Volume overload is the main factor responsible for the pathogenesis of hypertension in dialysis patients. Few studies have evaluated the interpretation of the parameters obtained by bioelectrical impedance (BIA) ...

Secretion of vasopressin (VP), oxytocin (OT) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is an essential mechanism for the maintenance of hydromineral homeostasis. Secretion of these hormones is modulated by several circulating ...

Organic osmolyte and halide permeabil-ity pathways activated in epithelial HeLa cells by osmotically induced cell swelling were studied using electrophysiological and radiotracer efflux techniques. On hypotonie challenge, ...
