Rapid responses to steroid hormones in the kidney.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rapid signalling responses stimulated by steroid hormones have been detected in various tissues including the nephron. The significance of these responses in modulating the physiological effects elicited by mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids and the reproductive hormones in the kidney is now becoming more evident. This review outlines how rapid signalling responses stimulated by these hormones are coupled to the regulation of membrane transport targets that impact upon the reabsorptive and excretory functions of the kidney.

Rapid signaling by steroid receptors.
Steroid receptors transcribe genes that lead to important biological processes, including normal organ development and function, tissue differentiation, and promotion of oncogenic transformation. These actions mainly result from nuclear steroid receptor action. However, for 50 years, it has been known that rapid effects of steroid hormones occur and could result from rapid signal transduction. ...
متن کاملThe role of hormones in renal disease and ischemia-reperfusion injury
The patients with renal diseases, especially end-stage renal disease (ESRD), are at high risk of developing cardiovascular disturbances. Some hormones such as brain natriuretic peptide appear to be important serum biomarkers in predicting cardiac death in ESRD patients. Renal diseases cause inflammation, anemia, uremic toxins, fluid overload, and electrolyte disturbance. Kidney transplantation ...
متن کاملThe changes in stress indices and some steroid hormones of Cyprinus carpio broodstocks in different stages of artificial reproduction
Blood is directly involved in many metabolic processes, and blood and hormonal assessments can be helpful in diagnosing the physiological status of fish. In this study, changes in stress indices (glucose and cortisol) and steroid hormones (testosterone, estradiol and progesterone) of sea carp broodstocks in three stages, before hormone injection, after injection and after artificial reproducti...
متن کامل17α-Hydroxy-4-pregenen-3-one (17 αP) assay, using acetylcholinesterase enzyme as tracer
17a-hydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (17aP) hormone is a precursor of other steroid hormones and radioimmunoassay has already been used to measure it, but a simple and rapid "Enzyme Linked Immunosorbant Assay" (ELISA) is described and validated here. A general procedure for prepara-tion of the acetylcholinesterase labelled steroid is described, which is applicable to any steroid. Use of acetyl...
