Luo, Xiang, Weizhong Zheng, Ming Yan, Min Goo Lee, and Shmuel Muallem. Multiple functional P2X and P2Y receptors in the luminal and basolateral membranes of pancreatic duct cells. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Cell Physiol. 46): C205–C215, 1999.—Purinergic receptors in the basolateral and luminal membranes of the pancreatic duct can act by a feedback mechanism to coordinate transport activity in the two...

THE WATER-SOLUBLE VITAMINS represent a structurally and functionally distinct set of organic compounds that are essential for human health. It has long been recognized that they play a vital role in intermediary metabolism, energy production, and cell differentiation and proliferation (1, 4). Mammals, including humans, have lost their ability to synthesize these compounds and, therefore, must o...

Covasa, Mihai, and Robert C. Ritter. Reduced sensitivity to the satiation effect of intestinal oleate in rats adapted to high-fat diet. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 46): R279–R285, 1999.—When rats are maintained on high-fat diets, digestive processes adapt to provide for more efficient digestion and absorption of this nutrient. Furthermore, rats fed high-fat diets ...

Hediger, Matthias A. Glutamate transporters in kidney and brain. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Renal Physiol. 46): F487–F492, 1999.—Glutamate transporters play important roles in the termination of excitatory neurotransmission and in providing cells with glutamate for metabolic purposes. In the kidney, glutamate transporters are involved in reabsorption of filtered acidic amino acids, regulation of ammo...

The objective of this review is to consider the mechanisms by which vitamin D affects muscle and the evidence that vitamin D status is important for muscle performance and fall prevention in older adults. Vitamin D receptors have been identified in human skeletal-muscle cells. Activation of these receptors by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D is involved in the action of vitamin D on the myocyte. Several...

Physiol. 46): R455–R464, 1999.—The involvement of glucocorticoids (GC) in the development of diet-induced obesity and in the concomitant adaptations of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoprotein metabolism were examined. Rat...
