PURPOSE
To determine whether a type of contrast medium (CM), iodixanol, modifies outer medullary descending vasa recta (DVR…
The manner in which vasa recta function and contribute to the concentrating mechanism depends on their three-dimensional…
Strong inward rectifier potassium channels are expressed by some vascular smooth muscle cells and facilitate K+-induced…
The PDZ domain adaptor protein Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor (NHERF)-2 is expressed in renal medullary descending vasa recta…
We tested whether chronic ANG II infusion into rats affects descending vasa recta (DVR) contractility, synthesis of superoxide…
Using nystatin-perforated patch-clamp and whole cell recording, we tested the hypothesis that K(ATP) channels contribute to…
We tested whether luminal perfusion and pressurization induce an endothelial cytoplasmic Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](CYT)) response in…
ANG II constricts descending vasa recta (DVR) through Ca(2+) signaling in pericytes. We examined the role of PKC DVR pericytes…
Perfusion of the renal medulla plays an important role in salt and water balance. Pericytes are smooth muscle-like cells that…
In this model of oxygen transport in the renal medullary microcirculation, we predicted that the net amount of oxygen reabsorbed…
