Effect of lithium on RBC water permeability.

Response To the Editor: Cook and Lcventhal have correctly pointed out that decrcaaed caloric intake is an important cause of the cuthyroid sick syndrome. We agree that decreased caloric intake may account for the findings of decreased tree and total ‘1‘3 in depressed patients as compared with euthymic patient5 and normal CO~Itrola. They have also provided a very comprchcnsive review of the effe...

Regulation of Aquaporin Water Permeability

Aquaporins facilitate the diffusion of water across cell membranes. We previously showed that acid pH or low Ca 2 increase the water permeability of bovine AQP0 expressed in Xenopus oocytes. We now show that external histidines in loops A and C mediate the pH dependence. Furthermore, the position of histidines in different members of the aquaporin family can “tune” the pH sensitivity toward alk...
