Ion channels in sperm physiology.
Fertilization is a matter of life or death. In animals of sexual reproduction, the appropriate communication between mature and competent male and female gametes determines the generation of a new individual. Ion channels are key elements in the dialogue between sperm, its environment, and the egg. Components from the outer layer of the egg induce ion permeability changes in sperm that regulate...
متن کاملCell (patho)physiology of magnesium.
There is an unsettled debate about the role of magnesium as a 'chronic regulator' of biological functions, as opposed to the well-known role for calcium as an 'acute regulator'. New and old findings appear to delineate an increasingly complex and important role for magnesium in many cellular functions. This review summarizes the available evidence for a link between the regulation of intracellu...
متن کاملMechanosensitive Ion Channels in Cardiovascular Physiology
EC coupling is subjected to a mechanical feedback, which originates from physical force-sensing ion channels in the pericardium and elsewhere. Reviewed here are the most recent developments that greatly advanced our understanding of these mechanosensitive (MS) channels, including TRPs and K2p's. Patch clamp has continued to demonstrate the direct channel activation by membrane stretch. Crystall...
متن کاملPatho Physiology of High Altitude Illnesses
human beings tempting them to come, explore and conquer them. The magnitude of these explorations was limited but still one comes across many writings and its extent especially in Alps and Andes. In 20th Century with opening of these areas for economic activities, tourism and as battle ground in Indo-China war and Indi-Pak war at Siachin, the real extent of manifestations were noticed. Air trav...
متن کاملO 13: Ion Channels in Autoimmune Neurodegeneration
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system characterized by widespread inflammation, focal demyelination and a variable degree of axonal and neuronal loss. Ionic conductances regulate T cell activation as well as neuronal function and thus have been found to play a crucial role in MS pathogenesis. Since present therapeutical approaches are only parti...
