Molecular Physiology of Water Balance.
To the Editor: In their review article on water balance, Knepper et al. (April 2 issue)1 discuss water channels (aquaporins) in renal tubular cells. They omit mention of the critical role played by aquaporin-1 in microvascular endothelia. In the renal microvasculature, endothelial aquaporin-1 mediates the osmotic water efflux across descending vasa recta and is required for regulation of medull...
متن کاملWater and electrolyte homeostasis brings balance to physiology.
The American Physiological Society officially recognized the area of research in Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis (WEH) over 30 years ago when the Section of WEH was established. This minireview illuminates the importance of WEH research to the physiology community. By the narrowest definition, WEH research studies the regulation of body fluids; however, this research area is much broader and ...
متن کاملThe Physiology of Contractile Vacuoles Iii. the Water Balance of Fresh-water Peritricha
STRONG evidence has been brought forward (Kitching, 1934, 1936 a) to show that in euryhaline marine peritrich ciliates the contractile vacuole prevents excessive swelling of the body when the organism is placed in dilute sea water. From this it has been inferred (Kitching, 1936 a, p. 24; and 1937) that in fresh-water Protozoa the contractile vacuole normally controls the body volume. In order t...
متن کاملWATER, ELECTROLYTE AND ACID BASE BALANCE: Normal and Pathological Physiology as a Basis of Therapy
Sturridge, M.B., B.S., F.R.C.S. Third Edition. (Pp. ix + 211; figs. 68. 30s.) London: Bailliere, Tindall & Cox, 1962. THE scope of this book in its third edition has been widened so as to include much more information on the preand postoperative management in cardiac surgery, including open heart procedures. There is also some useful information on purely investigative cardiac techniques. All i...
متن کاملStudies in the Physiology of Artificial Fever. I. Changes in the Blood Volume and Water Balance.
During recent years great interest has been aroused in the use of artificially induced fever in the treatment of disease. Numerous claims have been made for the benefits of fever therapy but very little attention has been paid to the changes it brings about in the coordinated functions of the body, well and diseased. The dangers of fever therapy have been emphasized by many authors. Reactions o...
