The effects of acute moderate (20% air O2 saturation; 6-h exposure) and severe (5% air O2 saturation; 4-h exposure) hypoxia on N-waste, acid-base, and ion balance in dogfish sharks (Squalus acanthias suckleyi) were evaluated. We predicted that the synthesis and/or retention of urea, which are active
PaO2 in hypoxemic rabbits was raised 30 min after intravenous administration of urea-hydrogen peroxide (U-H2O2). Peak levels appeared 2 h after administration of the drug and the effect continued up to 4 h. The treatment was effective and no side effects in the rabbits were observed. A new technique
Vertebrate freeze tolerance requires multiple adaptations underpinned by specialized biochemistry. Freezing of extracellular water leads to intracellular dehydration as pure water is incorporated into growing ice crystals and also results in the cessation of blood supply to tissues, creating an
Acute renal failure (ARF) is a serious disease characterised by a rapid loss of renal functions due to nephrotoxic drug or ischemic insult. The clinical treatment approach such as dialysis techniques and continuous renal enhancement have grown rapidly during past decades. However, To study the role of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN).In total, 133 participants were selected to conduct the investigation, parameters such as fasting blood sugar (FBS), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and urine OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of netrin-1 on peritubular capillary (PTC) loss and hypoxia in 5/6 nephrectomized (Nx) rats.
METHODS
Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups (n = 10 rats/group): sham-operated rats treated with control adenovirus; 5/6 Nx
Acute cyclosporin A (CsA) treatment inhibits mitochondrial respiration, yet effects of chronic treatment remain unclear. Accordingly, the effects of chronic CsA on oxygen metabolism in perfused rat liver and isolated mitochondria were investigated. Basal rates of oxygen uptake of around 120
ATP-sensitive potassium channels couple cell excitability to energy metabolism, thereby providing life-saving protection of stressed cardiomyocytes. The signaling for ATP-sensitive potassium channel expression is still unknown. We tested involvement of biochemical and biophysical parameters and
OBJECTIVE
This study investigated the interaction between COX-2, NO and ROS after ischemia/reperfusion events in the kidney and vascular beds.
METHODS
Kidney IRI model in male Sprague-Dawley rats was used and various biochemical and histopathological parameters were examined. The isolated rat aortic
We determined whether adenine-induced chronic kidney disease (CKD) in rats is associated with renal tissue hypoxia. Adenine (100 mg) or its vehicle was administered to male Sprague-Dawley rats, daily by oral gavage, over a 15-day period. Renal function was assessed before, and 7 and 14 days after,
The study was carried out on 30 rats. PGE2 was found to inhibit both the ammonium uptake and urea formation by hepatocytes, i.e. PGE2 inhibited the ornithine cycle in a non-recirculating perfusion of the liver. Simultaneously PGE2 inhibited liver oxygen uptake and raised portal pressure. Inhibition
