Diabetic nephropathy, a kidney complication arising from diabetes, is the leading cause of
death in diabetic patients. Unabated, the growing epidemic of diabetes is increasing …

There has been an explosive growth of interest in the multiple interacting paracrine systems
that influence renal microvascular function. This review first discusses the membrane …

We examined angiotensinogen gene expression in rat kidney by in situ hybridization
histochemistry. Using a rat cRNA probe to angiotensinogen, we demonstrated …

We have developed a technique to measure the fluorescence of a pH-sensitive dye (2, 7-
biscarboxyethyl-5 (6)-carboxyfluorescein) in single glomerular mesangial cells in culture …

This study tests the possible influence of the urinary concentrating process and/or of
vasopressin (AVP) on the progression of early chronic renal failure (CRF). Male Sprague …

1 Expression of prostacyclin receptor (IP receptor) mRNA was examined in various mouse
organs, and the cells expressing IP receptor mRNA were identified by in situ hybridization …

Micropuncture and/or morphologic studies were performed in seven groups of
uninephrectomized (UNX) adult male Munich-Wistar rats. Control groups 1, 3, and 6 …

These studies were designed to investigate sex differences in renal hemodynamics under
control conditions and in response to two different cyclooxygenase inhibitors. Studies were …

Tolvaptan and related V 2-specific vasopressin receptor antagonists have been shown to
delay disease progression in animal models of polycystic kidney disease. Slight elevations …

The underlying cause of most glomerular diseases remains an enigma. Infectious agents,
autoimmunity, drugs, inherited disorders, and environmental agents have been implicated …
