Disorders of Sodium Homeostasis
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. Renal sodium excretion is the primary determinant of sodium homeostasis. 2. Changes in sodium concentration in extracellular fluid (ECF) are associated with disorders of water balance. 3. Hypovolemia refers to losses of salt and water from the ECF, whereas dehydration is defined as primarily water loss from ECF. 4. Hypervolemia results when fluid accumulates in the ECF at a higher rate than the output due to either sodium and water retention or abnormal sodium and water intake. 5. Activation of sympathetic nervous system, renin–angiotensin–aldosterone, and epithelial sodium channel contributes to renal sodium and water retention.

Photosynthesis Properties and Ion homeostasis of Different Pistachio Cultivar Seedlings in Response to Salinity Stress
Understanding mechanisms of salt tolerance, physiological responses to salt stress, and screening genotypes for breeding programs are important scientific issues remained to be investigated in pistachio. Therefore, current study was carried out to investigate response of different pistachio cultivars (G1, G2, Kaleghochi and UCB1) to salinity treatments (0.6 as control, 10, 20 dS m-1 using salin...

متن کاملDisorders of Water and Acid-Base Homeostasis
Disorders of water balance lead either to dehydration or overhydration. Because there is an intimate relationship between water and sodium concentration (water generally following salt), one can distinguish hypotonic, isotonic and hypertonic dehydration and the same for overhydration. The vast majority of water balance disorders are acquired. In this article, the focus is on the inherited disor...
متن کاملInsights into role of microRNAs in cardiac development, cardiac diseases, and developing novel therapies
Objective(s): MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a subfamily of small noncoding RNAs that play a variety of roles in regulating gene expression in nearly all organisms. They affect different biological pathways by post-transcriptionally regulating mRNAs. Aside from miRNAs’ role in maintaining cellular homeostasis, their perturbation is related to several pathologic states and dis...

Salinity is one of the most important abiotic stresses that limit crop growth and production. Salt stress influences plants in two ways: by affecting ion toxicity and increasing osmotic stress. Ion homeostasis, the excretion of Na+ and using antioxidant systems are the major strategies of salt tolerance in plants. Na+ and K+ transporters with enzymes that are involved in detoxification of react...
