Microscopic examination of the urine sediment for renal tubular epithelial cells, granular casts ... 98,99 Restrictions on potassium, phosphate, and sodium intake apply to most patients with AKI and ...

Renal tubule epithelial ... by the Na+-k–ATP pump located in the basolateral membrane of renal tubules, thereby reducing the concentration of sodium ion in the cells and forming an electrochemical ...

The liver and pancreas are the main actors in glucose metabolism, but not the only ones. Muscles, adipose tissue and the brain play different roles. However, the prize for the best new actor in ...

Insulin lowers blood glucose by promoting its uptake into cells, while glucagon raises it by signaling the liver to release glucose from stored sources. Glucagon is secreted to the blood by alpha ...

commonly known as an insulin pump, which allows for the automated administration of insulin doses that are adjusted in real time thanks to a glucose sensor and an algorithm that performs the ...

Researchers at Fujian Normal University in China have developed a dual salt-based quasi-solid polymer electrolyte (DS-QSPE) that can make sodium-sulfur (Na-S) batteries a feasible solution for our ...

The volumes of a cell [cell volume (CV)] and its organelles are adjusted by osmoregulatory processes. During pinocytosis, extracellular fluid volume equivalent to its CV is incorporated within an hour ...

Potassium carbonate (K2CO3) is the source of choice to increase K as well as DCAD. Sodium bicarbonate also increases DCAD, but doesn’t supply K. Alfalfa and grasses are typically high in K. But they ...

We first discovered that the high glucose treatment resulted in nuclei aggregation of endothelial cells in zebra fish intersegmental vessels, which resembles the crowded nuclei of endothelial cells in ...
