Renal physiology in pregnancy.
نویسنده
چکیده
The changes which occur in renal excretory function during pregnancy are discussed. The relationship between glomerular filtration rate and effective renal plasma flow is examined in the light of new serial data obtained under conditions of saline diuresis. Changes in the renal handling of nutrients and in the excretion of waste products during pregnancy are reviewed.

NOS inhibition restores renal responses to atrial distension during pregnancy.
Nitric oxide (NO) biosynthesis increases during pregnancy and has been shown to suppress baroreceptor activity. The renal response to a simulated increase in circulating blood volume (atrial distension) is also attenuated at this time. We hypothesized that blocking NO biosynthesis during pregnancy would restore the renal response. Female rats were implanted with indwelling intracardiac balloons...
متن کاملEffect of maternal fluoxetine exposure on lung, heart and kidney development in rat neonates
Objective(s): Depression during pregnancy negatively affects fetal development. Fluoxetine as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRIs) is used for treatment of gestational depression. This study is trying to determine the effects of fluoxetine on the renal, heart and lung development.Materials and Methods: Fifteen pregnant rats were treated with fluoxetine at 7 mg/kg from days 0 to 21 o...
متن کاملPartially Tests during Course Improves the Students Retention of Renal Physiology Knowledge
Background: Longevity of basic medical sciences is a major concern of medical educators and physicians. It has been shown that different learning styles can affect the half-life of the material. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of partially tests during renal physiology course on "the student’s retention of renal physiology knowledge" and "knowledge loss" in pharmacy and medical students...
متن کاملRole of neuronal nitric oxide synthase in mediating renal hemodynamic changes during pregnancy.
Renal plasma flow (RPF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are markedly increased during pregnancy. We recently reported that the renal hemodynamic changes observed during pregnancy in rats are associated with enhanced renal protein expression of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS). The purpose of this study was to determine the role of nNOS in mediating renal hemodynamic changes observed d...
متن کاملRenal epoxyeicosatrienoic acid synthesis during pregnancy.
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which belong to cytochrome P-450 (CYP)-derived eicosanoids, have been implicated to vasodilate renal arterioles, inhibit sodium transport in the nephron, and regulate blood pressure in several animal models. Because pregnancy is associated with changes of blood pressure, the aim of this study was to examine whether renal EET synthesis is altered and whether EET...
متن کاملRenal nitric oxide production in rat pregnancy: role of constitutive nitric oxide synthases.
Functional studies show that increased renal nitric oxide (NO) mediates the renal vasodilation and increased glomerular filtration rate that occur during normal pregnancy. We investigated whether changes in the constitutive NO synthases (NOS), endothelial (eNOS) and neuronal (nNOS), were associated with the increased renal NO production in normal midterm pregnancy in the rat. In kidneys from mi...
