Heavy metal poisoning: the effects of cadmium on the kidney
- Nikhil Johri, G. Jacquillet, R. Unwin
- Chemistry, Medicine
- BioMetals
- 31 March 2010
The heavy metal cadmium (Cd) is known to be a widespread environmental contaminant and a potential toxin that may adversely affect human health. Exposure is largely via the respiratory or… Expand
Cadmium-induced autophagy in rat kidney: an early biomarker of subtoxic exposure.
- Abderrahman Chargui, Sami Zekri, +9 authors B. Mograbi
- Biology, Medicine
- Toxicological sciences : an official journal of…
- 1 May 2011
Environmental exposures to cadmium (Cd) are a major cause of human toxicity. The kidney is the most sensitive organ; however, the natures of injuries and of adaptive responses have not been… Expand
Effect of Heavy Metals on, and Handling by, the Kidney
- O. Barbier, G. Jacquillet, M. Tauc, M. Cougnon, P. Poujeol
- Medicine, Chemistry
- Nephron Physiology
- 18 March 2005
Heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), chromium (Cr) and platinum (Pt) are a major environmental and occupational hazard. Unfortunately, these non-essential elements are toxic at… Expand
Physiological regulation of phosphate by vitamin D, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and phosphate (Pi)
- G. Jacquillet, R. Unwin
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology
- 5 November 2018
Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is an abundant element in the body and is essential for a wide variety of key biological processes. It plays an essential role in cellular energy metabolism and cell… Expand
Zinc and Cadmium Interactions in a Renal Cell Line Derived from Rabbit Proximal Tubule
- O. Barbier, Angélique Dauby, G. Jacquillet, M. Tauc, P. Poujeol, M. Cougnon
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Nephron Physiology
- 24 February 2005
Background: The aim of this work was to characterize the relationship between zinc (Zn<sup>2+</sup>) and cadmium (Cd<sup>2+</sup>) and the toxic effects of Cd<sup>2+</sup> in immortalized renal… Expand
Urinary vesicles: in splendid isolation.
- G. Jacquillet, E. Hoorn, Annalisa Vilasi, R. Unwin
- Medicine
- Nephrology, dialysis, transplantation : official…
- 1 June 2013
Urine provides an attractive, non-invasive alternative to tissue, blood or other biofluid as a potential source of biomarkers of systemic and renal disease. The urinary protein content can be divided… Expand
Protease stimulation of renal sodium reabsorption in vivo by activation of the collecting duct epithelial sodium channel (ENaC).
- G. Jacquillet, H. Chichger, R. Unwin, D. G. Shirley
- Medicine
- Nephrology, dialysis, transplantation : official…
- 1 April 2013
BACKGROUND
Proteases can increase the activity of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) by cleaving its α- or γ-subunit. However, evidence so far comes only from studies in vitro in either… Expand
Potential Role of Serine Proteases in Modulating Renal Sodium Transport in vivo
- G. Jacquillet, I. Rubera, R. Unwin
- Medicine, Biology
- Nephron Physiology
- 11 August 2011
The maintenance of sodium (Na+) homeostasis is an essential function of the kidney. It is achieved by a variety of transport processes localized all along the highly specialised segments of the… Expand
The renal and blood pressure response to low sodium diet in P2X4 receptor knockout mice
- E. Craigie, R. I. Menzies, +8 authors R. Unwin
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Physiological reports
- 1 October 2018
In the kidney, purinergic (P2) receptor‐mediated ATP signaling has been shown to be an important local regulator of epithelial sodium transport. Appropriate sodium regulation is crucial for blood… Expand
