چکیده

An imbalance between oxidant production and antioxidant defences has been associated with the development of several conditions such as hypertension, obesity-associated hypertension and diabetes, as well as during the ageing process (Bedard & Krause, 2007; Makino et al., 2003; Touyz & Schiffrin, 2004; Valko et al., 2007; Wilcox, 2005). This association is achieved through direct reactive oxygen species damage upon biomolecules or reactive oxygen species-induced alterations in gene and protein regulation (Finkel, 2003; Gill & Wilcox, 2006; McCubrey et al., 2006; Valko et al., 2007).

O-10: A Marked Animal-Vegetal Polarity in The Localization of Na+,K+-ATPase Activity and Its Down-Regulation Following Progesterone-Induced Maturation

Background: Polarized cells are key to the process of differentiation. Xenopus oocyte is a polarized cell that has complete blue-print to differentiate 3 germ layers following fertilization, as key determinant molecules (Proteins and RNAs) are asymmetrically localized. The objective of this work was to localize Na+, K+-ATPase activity along animal-vegetal axis of polarized Xenopus oocyte and fo...

The role of Na+-K+-ATPase in the basic and rate-dependent properties of isolated perfused rabbit Atrioventricular Node

Introduction: Ouabaine is a well-known atrioventricular (AV) node depressant agent, but its effects on functional properties of the AV node have not been cleared. The aim of the present study was to determine how ouabaine administration modifies the rate-dependent properties of the AV node. Methods: Selective stimulation protocols were used to quantify independently electrophysiological prop...

Prolactin and dopamine 1-like receptor interaction in renal proximal tubular cells.

Prolactin is a natriuretic hormone and acts by inhibiting the activity of renal tubular Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity. These effects require an intact renal dopamine system. Here, we have studied by which mechanism prolactin and dopamine interact in Sprague-Dawley rat renal tissue. Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity was measured as ouabain-sensitive ATP hydrolysis in microdissected renal proximal tubular ...

FXYD proteins: new regulators of Na-K-ATPase.

FXYD proteins belong to a family of small-membrane proteins. Recent experimental evidence suggests that at least five of the seven members of this family, FXYD1 (phospholemman), FXYD2 (gamma-subunit of Na-K-ATPase), FXYD3 (Mat-8), FXYD4 (CHIF), and FXYD7, are auxiliary subunits of Na-K-ATPase and regulate Na-K-ATPase activity in a tissue- and isoform-specific way. These results highlight the co...

Effect of different levels of salinity on immunolocalization of Na+-K+ ATPase and Aquaporin 3 in kidney of common carp Cyprinus carpio

Cyprinus carpio is a stenohaline species but can tolerate some ranges of changes in environmental salinities, so histomorphological methods and Na+-K+ ATPase and Aquaporin 3 immunohistochemistry were performed on common carp kidney as an osmoregulatory organ in experimental groups and control in order to investigate their possible roles during salinity challenge. Five groups of fish (n=25) with...
