Ion channels of the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily are involved in a wide
variety of neural signalling processes, most prominently in sensory receptor cells. They are …

To prevent dehydration, terrestrial animals and humans have developed a sensitive and
versatile system to maintain their water homeostasis. In states of hypernatremia or …

Water deprivation produces a drive to seek and consume water. How neural activity creates
this motivation remains poorly understood. We used activity-dependent genetic labeling to …

Aunque el agua es un nutriente esencial para la vida y el componente más abundante de
nuestro cuerpo, recibe escasa atención en las recomendaciones dietéticas y las guías …

This review describes the changes that occur in circulating renin-angiotensin-aldosterone
system (RAAS) components in human pregnancy. These changes depend on endocrine …

The constant supply of oxygen and nutriments to cells (especially neurons) is the role of the
cardiovascular system. The constant supply of water (and sodium) for cardiovascular …

Sodium appetite, the behavioural drive to ingest salt, is stimulated by prolonged
physiological sodium deficiency in many animal species. The same neural mechanisms that …

Recent studies have indicated that members of the transient receptor potential vanilloid
(TRPV) family of cation channels are required for the generation of normal osmoregulatory …

Purpose To test an intervention bundle for thirst intensity, thirst distress, and dry mouth,
which are among the most pervasive, intense, distressful, unrecognized, and undertreated …

Hypernatremia is defined as a serum sodium level above 145 mmol/L. It is a frequently
encountered electrolyte disturbance in the hospital setting, with an unappreciated high …
