Download or read book Neural Control of Renal Function written by Ulla Kopp and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2011 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The kidney is innervated with efferent sympathetic nerve fibers reaching the renal vasculature, the tubules, the juxtaglomerular granular cells, and the renal pelvic wall. The renal sensory nerves are mainly found in the renal pelvic wall. Increases in efferent renal sympathetic nerve activity reduce renal blood flow and urinary sodium excretion by activation of α1-adrenoceptors and increase renin secretion rate by activation of β1-adrenoceptors. In response to normal physiological stimulation, changes in efferent renal sympathetic nerve activity contribute importantly to homeostatic regulation of sodium and water balance. The renal mechanosensory nerves are activated by stretch of the renal pelvic tissue produced by increases in renal pelvic tissue of a magnitude that may occur during increased urine flow rate. Activation of the sensory nerves elicits an inhibitory renorenal reflex response consisting of decreases in efferent renal sympathetic nerve activity leading to natriuresis. Increasing efferent sympathetic nerve activity increases afferent renal nerve activity which, in turn, decreases efferent renal sympathetic nerve activity by activation of the renorenal reflexes. Thus, activation of the afferent renal nerves buffers changes in efferent renal sympathetic nerve activity in the overall goal of maintaining sodium balance. In pathological conditions of sodium retention, impairment of the inhibitory renorenal reflexes contributes to an inappropriately increased efferent renal sympathetic nerve activity in the presence of sodium retention. In states of renal disease or injury, there is a shift from inhibitory to excitatory reflexes originating in the kidney. Studies in essential hypertensive patients have shown that renal denervation results in long-term reduction in arterial pressure, suggesting an important role for the efferent and afferent renal nerves in hypertension.

Download or read book Animal models in cardiovascular research written by D.R. Gross and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1994-05-31 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in the humane and scientifically justifiable use of research animals has intensified since the publication of the first edition of this textbook. This completely revised and updated text provides information essential to any researcher interested in using animal models for cardiovascular research, or any research which requires normal cardiovascular function. The format and presentation have been changed to make the text more easy to read and use. An introductory chapter offers general principles of animal selection, pre and post-operative care, preanesthesia, chemical restraint, analgesia, and the recognition of pain. The number of references cited has been almost doubled over the previous text and the chapter tabulating normal cardiovascular parameters from intact, awake animals, of those species commonly used in research, has been greatly expanded. Other chapters providing comprehensive data on the cardiovascular effects of opioids, tranquilizers, anesthetic agents and other drugs commonly used in cardiovascular research have been expanded with special emphasis on species variability to drug effects. The chapters on both naturally occurring and iatrogenic models of cardiovascular disease have also been expanded and updated.

Book excerpt: This volume is devoted to atherosclerosis, hypertension, anddiabetes, three of the most important disease conditions in the worldtoday. Nutritional intervention, cholesterol lowering agents, lipidsthemselves, particularly oxidized LDL, protein modification byADP-ribose, bone marrow study, endothelial cell dysfunction, angiotensin, and the role of infection and inflammation are alldiscussed in the context of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.The hypertension section focuses on factors that may be responsiblefor high blood pressure, such as genetic predisposition, vascularhyperplasia and remodeling, insulin resistance, neurological aspectssuch as hypothalamic peptides. Also discussed are the possiblecontributions of the cellular function of the endothelium, nutrition, kidney dysfunction, leptin, and the brain. Novel routes of drugdelivery for treatment of hypertension is also a focus.As for diabetes, the risk factors and mechanisms responsible fordiabetic vascular and cardiac dysfunction are discussed. Lipid profilechanges and fibrinolysis in diabetic patients is detailed, along withadipogenesis, diabetic cardiomyopathy, energy metabolism in thediabetic heart, vanadate as an alternative to insulin, insulinresistance mechanisms, and neurotransmitters as targets for theprevention of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.These manuscripts were invited from scientists who presented state ofthe art lectures at the XVII World Congress of the InternationalSociety for Heart Research held in Winnipeg in July 2001.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This review covers the major systems of human physiology. These Notes are not exhaustive and assume that students have completed a course in human physiology and wish to refresh their memory in preparing for an examination. Students are encouraged to refer to a comprehensive textbook or to monographs while using this review. This book is a revised version of a review book used by our medical students for over ten years. Coverage of various topics in physiology is comparable to the percentage of questions on those topics in recent National Board, Part I examinations. Review questions follow every few pages of text in order to monitor your understanding of the just preceding material. Multiple choice questions are mainly of the two conventional types; "single best answer" questions and "multiple correct answer" questions. "Single co~ct answer" questions have lettered alternatives (Le. , A to E); "multiple correct answer" questions have numbered alternatives (Le. , 1, 2, 3 and 4). The latter questions are answered as follows: Answer A if 1, 2 and 3 are correct Answer B if 1 and 3 are correct Answer C if 2 and 4 are correct Answer D if 4 only is correct Answer E if all are correct National Board Examinations also use matching questions, and matching with four choices (Le. , Situation 1, Situation 2, Both 1 and 2, Neither 1 or 2). Review questions are numbered consecutively within each of the seven chapters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Protective Arm of the Renin Angiotensin System: Functional Aspects and Therapeutic Implications is the first comprehensive publication to signal the protective role of a distinct part of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS), providing readers with early insight into a complex system which will become of major medical importance in the near future. Focusing on recent research, The Protective Arm of the Renin Angiotensin System presents a host of new experimental studies on specific components of the RAS, namely angiotensin AT2 receptors (AT2R), the angiotensin (1–7) peptide with its receptor Mas, and the enzyme ACE 2, which exert significant beneficial, health-promoting actions by counterbalancing the well-known harmful arm of the RAS with its classical angiotensin AT1 receptor. This innovative concept of the protective arm of the RAS, examined in this reference, represents an indispensable background and will be a strong support for biomedical students, researchers, cardiologists, surgeons, nephrologists, diabetologists, and endocrinologists, as well as any other physician or researcher concerned with RAS physiology, pathophysiology and clinical implications. - Provides a complete understanding of the protective side of the Renin Angiotensin System (RAS) involving angiotensin AT2 receptor, ACE2, and Ang(1-7)/Mas receptor - Combines the knowledge of editors who pioneered research on the protective renin angiotensin system including; Dr. Thomas Unger, one of the founders of AT2 receptor research; Dr. Ulrike M. Steckelings, who contributed significantly to first preclinical studies with a novel specific AT2-agonist, and Dr. Robson Santos who pioneered research on angiotensin-(1-7) and its receptor Mas. - Shows that the protective RAS axes are able to ameliorate the course of several cardiovascular, renal, metabolic and neurological diseases - Provides the basis for the understanding of a novel therapeutic approach to stimulate components of the protective arm of the RAS.
