Paraquat induced opposite effects on the ouabain-resistant Na + -ATPase in the cortex (decrease) and medulla (increase). These alterations, except for increased serum creatinine and renal levels of ...

Compared with the cortex, the renal medulla produces substantial amounts of O 2− and H 2 O 2 even under normal conditions. 40, 58, 84–86 O 2− in the medulla primarily originates from membrane NADH ...

RATIONALE Cortical renal imaging has a high diagnostic sensitivity (>90%) for detecting renal cortical defects. Blood is filtered within the kidney nephrons, specifically the glomerulus of the nephron ...

Introduction Renin was discovered by Robert Tigersted in 1898. 1 A half century later, Pickering rediscovered renin 2 and implicated it in Goldblatt’s model of renal hypertension 3 that resembles ...

Renal medullary carcinoma is a rare, aggressive form of kidney cancer that typically affects younger individuals who also have sickle cell trait. It typically grows quickly and may spread to other ...

The kidney was then further prepared for measurement of RMBF by creating a cortical window in an alcohol-injected region of the kidney using an He-Ne-CO 2 beam surgical laser and placing a multiple ...
