Aquaporins in brain: distribution, physiology, and pathophysiology.
Water homeostasis in the brain is of central physiologic and clinical importance. Neuronal activity and ion water homeostasis are inextricably coupled. For example, the clearance of K+ from areas of high neuronal activity is associated with a concomitant water flux. Furthermore, cerebral edema, a final common pathway of numerous neurologic diseases, including stroke, may rapidly become life thr...
متن کاملBrain Temperature: Physiology and Pathophysiology after Brain Injury
The regulation of brain temperature is largely dependent on the metabolic activity of brain tissue and remains complex. In intensive care clinical practice, the continuous monitoring of core temperature in patients with brain injury is currently highly recommended. After major brain injury, brain temperature is often higher than and can vary independently of systemic temperature. It has been sh...
متن کاملThe physiology and pathophysiology of nitric oxide in the brain.
Nitric oxide (NO) is a molecule with pleiotropic effects in different tissues. NO is synthesized by NO synthases (NOS), a family with four major types: endothelial, neuronal, inducible and mitochondrial. They can be found in almost all the tissues and they can even co-exist in the same tissue. NO is a well-known vasorelaxant agent, but it works as a neurotransmitter when produced by neurons and...
متن کاملHIGHLIGHTED TOPIC Pulmonary Physiology and Pathophysiology in Obesity Pulmonary physiology and pathophysiology in obesity
OBESITY is now a common occurrence in modern society. Barely one-third of Americans fall into the normal weight range, and 32% of the population has been classified as obese (9). The obesity epidemic is permeating into the childhood years, with 16.3% of children in the United States being above the 95th percentile for the body mass index (BMI), resulting in comorbidities such as the metabolic s...
