Atrial natriuretic hormone secretion in patients with renal failure
(Elsevier, 1987-09-28)
To study the effects of volume overload and renal failure on plasma levels of immunoreactive atrial natriuretic hormone (IR-ANH), we measured levels of this hormone in normal subjects, in patients with advanced chronic ...
Zymogen granules of mouse parotid acinar cells are acidified in situ in an ATP-dependent manner
(Springer-Verlag, 1988-07)
The mechanism for acidification of zymogen granules in acinar cells of mouse parotid gland was explored using acridine orange, lysosomotropic agents, and an inhibitor of cellular ATP production. Methylamine and monensin ...
Mastoparan induces oscillations of cytosolic Ca2+ in rat pancreatic acinar cells
(Elsevier, 1991-05-31)
Microfluorimetry of fura-2 was used to monitor [Ca2+]i in single cells stimulated with the G-protein activating agent mastoparan. Mastoparan induced the generation of [Ca2+]i oscillations, which in contrast to oscillations ...
Racial differences in bumetanide-sensitive cotransport and N-ethylmaleimide-stimulated potassium efflux
(Elsevier, 1985-05-13)
Racial differences in erythrocyte potassium effluxes mediated by two loop-diuretic sensitive modes of cotransport were compared. In red cells loaded to contain approximately equimolar amounts of sodium and potassium, black ...
Effects of lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase inhibitors on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from the isolated perfused rat pancreas
(Elsevier, 1984-04-30)
Some of the metabolites of arachidonic acid formed in the lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase pathways stimulate insulin release. We studied the relative importance of each of these pathways in the modulation of glucose-induced ...
Random sampling by glitter drop method
(Elsevier, 1990)
In the course of a study on glioblastoma tissue and cultured cell lines, a glitter drop technique for random sampling was introduced (1). Here, we report the initial description of the details of this procedure and its ...
Conserved linkage of neurotrophin-3 and von Willebrand factor on mouse Chromosome 6
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York Inc., 1993-06)
A Newly Cloned Phospholipase A2-Activating Protein Elicits Ca2+ Oscillations and Pancreatic Amylase Secretion via Mediation of G Protein [beta]/Phospholipase A2/Arachidonic Acid Cascades
(Elsevier, 1994-09-30)
Recently we have demonstrated that in rat pancreatic acini the high affinity cholecystokinin receptors are coupled to the phospholipase A2 (PLA2)/arachidonic acid (AA) cascades to mediate Ca2+ oscillations and amylase ...
Monokine-induced gene expression of a human endothelial cell-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor
(Elsevier, 1988-11-15)
Monokines have been increasingly recognized as communication signals that interact with both immune and non-immune cells during inflammation. Specifically, interleukin-1alpha (IL-lalpha), interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and ...
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young
(Elsevier, 1994)
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a subtype of noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). It is characterized by an early age of onset and autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. These features and the ...
