Fetal development of regulatory mechanisms for body fluid homeostasis.
The balance of body fluids is critical to health and the development of diseases. Although quite a few review papers have shown that several mechanisms, including hormonal and behavioral regulation, play an important role in body fluid homeostasis in adults, there is limited information on the development of regulatory mechanisms for fetal body fluid balance. Hormonal, renal, and behavioral con...
متن کاملNeuroendocrine control of body fluid homeostasis.
Angiotensin II and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) play important and opposite roles in the control of water and salt intake, with angiotensin II promoting the intake of both and ANP inhibiting the intake of both. Following blood volume expansion, baroreceptor input to the brainstem induces the release of ANP within the hypothalamus that releases oxytocin (OT) that acts on its receptors in the...
متن کاملRegulatory mechanisms underlying agmatine homeostasis in humans.
Regulation of agmatine homeostasis has so far only been poorly defined. In the present study, three mechanisms regulating human agmatine homeostasis were investigated. 1) Enzymatic regulation: expression of arginine decarboxylase, diamine oxidase, and ornithine decarboxylase in human colon neoplastic tissue was, at the mRNA level, about 75% and 50% lower and 150% higher, respectively, than in t...
متن کاملBrain angiotensin and body fluid homeostasis.
Angiotensinogen, the precursor molecule of the peptides angiotensin I, II, and III, is synthesized in the brain and the liver. Evidence is reviewed that angiotensin II, and possibly angiotensin III, that are generated within the brain act within neural circuits of the central nervous system to regulate body fluid balance. Immunohistochemical studies in the rat brain have provided evidence of an...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa approximately 1% of all pregnancies are in woman with epilepsy. although, the majority of children born to women with epilepsy are normal, they are at increased risk for malformations. notably, the teratogenicity of antiepileptic drugs is a well-defined subject. the incidence of major malformations in offspring of mothers with epilepsy who were trea...
